Pam Brown

    11 november 1928

    Pam Brown is een Australische dichteres die wordt gevierd om haar unieke stem en innovatieve benadering van vers. Haar werk duikt in thema's als identiteit, plaats en vergankelijkheid, en onderzoekt de complexiteit van de menselijke ervaring met gevoeligheid en inzicht. Brown staat bekend om haar meesterschap over taal en ritme en trekt lezers mee in poëtische landschappen die zowel intiem als universeel zijn. Haar levenslange toewijding aan poëzie heeft haar gevestigd als een belangrijk figuur in de literaire wereld, en haar gedichten blijven wereldwijd resoneren bij het publiek.

      A silly, whimsical book about dreaming and getting over one's fears by a celebrated American cartoonist and illustrator. Mr. Sillypants is going to learn how to swim tomorrow. He’s excited! It’s about time. But he starts to get nervous. “I hope I don’t step on a fish,” he worries. “What if all the other people in the class are better than I am?” he wonders as he opens the fridge to make his “perfect sandwich,” a double-decker creation complete with peanut butter, tuna, and pickles. By the time he goes to bed, Mr. Sillypants is not sure swimming lessons are such a good idea after all. When Mr. Sillypants falls asleep, he dreams that he’s wandering through a desert, then down a long road, when suddenly he plummets into a big pond. “I can’t swim!” he yells. Soon, though, his worries about swimming are far from his mind: He morphs into a fish, flees from enormous pickle monsters, and eventually turns into a shark, giving him the strength he needs to fight back. The next morning, Mr. Sillypants wakes with a smile. Maybe his swimming lessons are going to be okay after all. Told with warm humor and illustrated with stunning watercolors, M. K. Brown has crafted a hilarious adventure out of an everyday fear. This silly-looking man can teach us all how ordinary it is to be scared—and how wonderful it can be when we finally face our fears.

      One of the great mysteries of the world is that all the branches of the animal kingdom - birds, fish, crustaceans, reptiles, mammals, insects, and even slime molds - undertake great journeys across water, land, or air. With no compass or GPS devices, birds fly thousands of miles from Europe to their African feeding grounds, salmon cross oceans so that they may return to the rivers in which they were born and monarch butterflies spend their entire adult lives traveling from the grasslands of the Midwest to the forests of Mexico.

      For some people, puberty happens at 13. For others, it's as early as 12. Some are there by 14, some by 16.

In puberty for boys and girls, hormones and growth spurts are all part of being a teenager. This is a very exciting stage for any teenager, especially a boy or a girl. But, if you are not careful, your body changes can start to negatively affect your self-esteem and self-image. Even worse, your hormones are out of balance and your body is no longer a perfect, adult-looking piece of anatomy. You'll want to start by making sure that your body looks great from head to toe, but you may also want to take a look at how you think about yourself and what you feel about your body.
