Judith Weinshall Liberman Volgorde van de boeken

SONNETS OF LOSS AND TRIUMPH is a collection of sonnets written by author Judith Weinshall Liberman when she was ninety-one years old. The book is Ms. Liberman's third book of poems. Before writing the sonnets presented in this book, she had published two books of poems, REFLECTIONS (with her daughter, Laura Liberman, M.D.) in 2012, and PASSION in 2013. She had also published a book titled ZINA (2013) about her mother's life and poetry. The story of Job, as told in the Old Testament book of JOB, plays an important part in the sonnets contained in the present book, since the story of Job raises fundamental questions about justice, as do these sonnets. The sonnets in SONNETS OF LOSS AND TRIUMPH convey some of the important lessons Ms. Liberman has learned during her long life.

The text accompanying the images in CREATING WALL HANGINGS provides a clear guide for creating multi-faceted works of art.

In this book, author-artist Judith Weinshall Liberman presents over twenty of the self portraits she created during her long career in visual art.

The text accompanying the images in SELF PORTRAITS throws light on the variety of mediums used by the artist in creating her artworks.

In I WANT A DOG, a boy tells us how he has been trying to persuade his mother that she should allow him to have a dog. One by one, he goes through his mother's objections to his having a dog, and he explains how he has tried to counter each of her objections. Although his counter-arguments are at times far-fetched, they are always amusing. The reader will find satisfaction in the fact that the boy never loses his hope and perseveres in his effort to achieve his goal.

FROM BLACK AND WHITE TO COLOR demonstrates the journey of a picture book illustrator from black and white illustrations to full color ones. Over a period of five years, from 2015 to 2020, the author had Gau Family Studio, a company dedicated to picture book illustration, illustrate nineteen of her books. During that whole period, the author collaborated with Cindy Nguyen, Project Manager at Gau Family Studio, on creating and perfecting the illustrations for her stories. Black and white illustrations from each of the nineteen picture books which the author and Cindy Nguyen collaborated on getting illustrated are presented in this volume, alongside their final, full color version, so the reader can follow the illustrator's journey from non-color to the world of color, and gain insight into the journey taken by a skilled illustrator of picture books.

In STARTING SCHOOL, a young boy who is about to start school, tells us what he imagines his school experience will be like.

STARTING SCHOOL is an inspiring story which should be read by any child who is wondering what the school experience will be like.
