![]() ![]() ― School Library Journal With minimal text and a dozen illustrations, speaks volumes about how even the biggest and strongest men get sad sometimes and cry. ― Booklist A short and straightforward story that challenges the traditional notion that men shouldn't express their emotions. Rather than try to teach kids what emotions are, this book focuses on emotional health in a unique and eye-catching way. ![]() Negley cleverly depicts a range of emotions, validating that not only does everyone have feelings but it is perfectly fine to express them. ― Kirkus Reviews In this oddly touching ode to male sensitivity, Negley shows that the toughest, coolest, and most heroic of men sometimes cry―and that’s okay. These tough guys are rendered in simple lines and shapes and colored in black and white, red, blue, and yellow, but they represent a broad range of virility. ― The New York Times The title says it all. A simple, stylishly illustrated picture book This appealing book makes the timely decision to hold the conversation about male emotions while everyone involved is in costume, performing some iconically macho role. ![]() ![]() ![]() Celanawe is just a normal mouse in the Mouse Guard when an old relative arrives at his door requesting that he accompany her on a quest to find out what happened to the Black Axe.

I would recommend for middle grade and older, my seven year old son had a bit of trouble with some of the words and some of the more complicated story threads. This is full of beautiful illustrations and wonderful details. This is the third book in the Mouse Guard series, it was wonderfully done and answers a lot of questions about the legend of the Black Axe.

But to discover exactly what, I had to start writing. During the 10 years of its construction, as this part-wall, part-fence spread across the West Bank, tracing a perplexingly circuitous route, I slowly became convinced that this edifice was more than just a wall. As a novelist, and a diaspora Jew disturbed by Israel's ever-increasing military belligerence, the more the world ignored this wall, the more interested in it I became. ![]() ![]() ![]() De Maria’s prescient vision is a welcome and timely addition to the weird fiction of distinctly earthly terrors. unlike any earlier weird-ideology tale I’ve read, The Twenty Days of Turin has a viciousness and caprice to its horror that feels very current. An allegory inspired by the grisly neo-fascist campaigns of its day, The Twenty Days of Turin has enjoyed a fervent cult following in Italy for forty years. The Twenty Days of Turin turns the state of tension that neofascist terror attempted to create into a metaphysical condition, a supernatural threat summoning forces no one can control. Now, in a fretful new age of 'lone-wolf' terrorism fueled by social media, we can find uncanny resonances in Giorgio De Maria’s vision of mass fear: a mute, palpitating dread that seeps. De Maria foresaw the way the internet - especially the portion of it defined by the pathologies of isolation - makes its users into consumers and creators simultaneously, fostering a paradoxical community of isolates mirroring their solipsisms at each other.
