As an imaginative little girl goes through her day, she builds a city of blocks, cooks dinner for ten, and goes on amazing adventures with her stuffed animals.
When Lucy Scott gave birth to her adorable daughter Lois, nothing prepared her for the momentous task of caring for this new little person. Compelled to preserve the memories of her first year, Lucy started drawing, and so emerged Doodle Diary of a New Mum. From baby's first trip to the health visitor to her shrine to wet wipes, this funny collection of Lucy's doodles depicts dozens of dramatic, terrifying, and unforgettable new-mum moments. Sadly, and much to Lucy's dismay, she still cannot find any chapters in any parenting book on surviving the first trip to a pub with a baby.
Lucy Scott has faced many challenges in her life, but the one that surfaces on her eighty-fifth birthday may be the greatest of all. As she looks to her future as an independent, energetic woman, her son and daughter take a very different view. With the support of friends and her most meaningful relationships, Lucy must forge a new way forward.
Lucy-Loo was born with a special gift: wild and gorgeous curly hair that no one else has. But Lucy doesn’t see it that way. Everyone Lucy knows has straight, silky hair, and Lucy is the odd one out. No matter how hard Lucy tries to tame her wild curls, they always bounce out of place, never looking the way she wants. Everyone teases her about her uncontrollable hair, but all Lucy wants is to fit in. When Lucy, her best friend Tallulah, and Roo go out one day, they stumble upon a magical dragonfly that leads them deep into the woods. Little do they know, Lucy is on a journey to learn an important lesson about the power and magic of gratitude. The forest Fairies are waiting, eager to show Lucy that what she thinks are flaws are actually cherished qualities that make her unique. Through the power of gratitude, she learns that anything is possible!
This book introduces you to the field of relational database development and usage. There are many good books in this field. This book is different. It covers the basics so that beginners can read cover to cover. It is not a book for all levels of readers. For example, this book uses Microsoft SQL Server and Transact-SQL (or T-SQL). It will not mention the different dialect of Oracle or MySQL. If you are interested in Oracle or MySQL, you should use a different book. If you learned SQL Server from this book at your institution and you need to use other DBMS in your future job, the knowledge is only one Google away. This is not a reference book. For example, there are multiple ways to use ali...
WINNER of the 2021 Thomas Merton Award awarded by The International Thomas Merton Society What if we truly belong to each other? What if we are all walking around shining like the sun? Mystic, monk, and activist Thomas Merton asked those questions in the twentieth century. Writer Sophfronia Scott is asking them today. In The Seeker and the Monk, Scott mines the extensive private journals of one of the most influential contemplative thinkers of the past for guidance on how to live in these fraught times. As a Black woman who is not Catholic, Scott both learns from and pushes back against Merton, holding spirited, and intimate conversations on race, ambition, faith, activism, nature, prayer, friendship, and love. She asks: What is the connection between contemplation and action? Is there ever such a thing as a wrong answer to a spiritual question? How do we care about the brutality in the world while not becoming overwhelmed by it? By engaging in this lively discourse, readers will gain a steady sense of how to dwell more deeply within--and even to love--this despairing and radiant world.
The Booker Prize winner. “[One of] the top 10 books about the British in India . . . the book is a joy and makes an elegiac farewell to the Raj.” —Ferdinand Mount, The Guardian In this sequel to The Raj Quartet, Colonel Tusker and Lucy Smalley stay on in the hills of Pankot after Indian independence deprives them of their colonial status. Finally fed up with accommodating her husband, Lucy claims a degree of independence herself. Eloquent and hilarious, she and Tusker act out class tensions among the British of the Raj and give voice to the loneliness, rage, and stubborn affection in their marriage. Staying On won the Booker Prize in 1977 and was made into a motion picture starring Tre...
