As the children grow up, there's the push-pull of tradition vs. The family celebrates every Jewish holiday - often with thorny the political issues of the era as a backdrop - and language and traditions are explained and translated.

The language is fairly formal (think Laura Ingalls Wilder rather than Judy Blume), reflecting the style at the time the series was first published in 1951. Parents need to know that Sydney Taylor's All-of-a-Kind Family series delves deep into the lives of hardworking Jewish immigrants who are poor in material goods but rich in love. Parents, aunts, uncles, teachers, librarians, shopkeepers - everyone is gentle and caring, and the series stresses the importance of being a good person and looking out for others. Moving from the cultural to the intimate, hooks notes the ties between love and loss and challenges the prevailing notion that romantic love is the most important love of all. She offers a rethinking of self-love (without narcissism) that will bring peace and compassion to our personal and professional lives, and asserts the place of love to end struggles between individuals, in communities, and among societies. In eleven concise chapters, hooks explains how our everyday notions of what it means to give and receive love often fail us, and how these ideals are established in early childhood. All About Love offers radical new ways to think about love by showing its interconnectedness in our private and public lives. They travel through dangerous territory, with former Owsla members Bigwig and Silver the physically strongest among them. The traveling rabbits find themselves following the strong leadership of Hazel who was until now a relatively unimportant member of the warren, with very little influence. He and his brother Fiver are unable to convince their chief rabbit of the urgent need to evacuate, so they decide to set out on their own with a small band of rabbits to seek out a new home, only just managing to elude the Owsla, the warren's military presence, as they do so. In the Sandleford warren, a young runt rabbit called Fiver, who is a seer, receives a very disturbing vision of his warren's imminent destruction.

Little Woman is a coming-of-age novel written by American novelist Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888), originally published in two volumes in 18. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the "girl’s book” her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America. But she soon discovered she could do more money writing. While her father, the freethinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with eminent male authors such as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with "woman’s work,” including sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War. Generations of readers, young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott’s most popular and enduring novel, Little Women.

Eventually a book opportunity came along for the show Glee. Back in the day, I took every opportunity to write. (For example: a bit more fancy words for Rarity)Ī: I wanted to be a TV show writer. A way to give the reader more of a impression of the character is to write in a way that symbolizes the character. It's usually done by a basic description followed by the POV character thinking "That's just Pinkie Pie" or something similar to that. Q: Are visual gags (like the one's Pinkie Pie does) harder to do in a book?Ī: They are, because books are not a visual medium. A few of my pitches actually contained new mythology, though. Q: Does mythology influence your writing?Ī: I usually fall back to the mythology already used in the show. Q: Favorite MLP book to write that has been released?

Would you be willing to write for characters that we don't know that much about (Celestia, Discord etc.)?Ī: Would love to, but we will have to see if they want me to. Q: So far you wrote mainly for the Mane 6 and they are pretty well fleshed out characters.
