The River Cafe Cookbook

A day in the life of a toddler is experienced through an exploration of the opposites that exist in the tot&rsquo;s world. Early morning, awake in the crib, this child is eager to start the day while parents sleep. &ldquo;Asleep. Awake. Daybreak!&rdquo; Morning routines&mdash;getting dressed, eating breakfast, and sibling play&mdash;precede the day&rsquo;s outing: &ldquo;Off. On. Here. Gone. / Laugh. Cry. Hi! Bye.&rdquo; The day&rsquo;s contrasting descriptions continue with these one-word sentences arranged in rhymes as this interracial (Asian/White) family of four and their dog leave their city row house to take a walk to the park. They meet friends, play, buy ice cream, walk home, prepare dinner, take baths, read stories, and finally go to sleep. It is a very full day expressed as differing observations and feelings. &ldquo;Short. Tall&rdquo; describes first the children and next the family they meet, while &ldquo;Hungry. Full&rdquo; sums up the before- and after-dinner experiences. The lovely watercolor-and-ink illustrations extend and expand the minimal text into a complete view of a toddler&rsquo;s average day with its satisfactions and disappointments. Trying to keep up with their older sib, this determined toddler is bound to try to do more than they might be ready for, as they topple off at the bottom of the slide. &ldquo;Up. Down. Smile! Frown.&rdquo; Toddlers will easily recognize and relate to this readable snapshot of a typical day&rsquo;s activities.A sure winner for multiple readings day after day. &mdash;Kirkus Reviews

Praise for The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your ShoreNamed a Best Book of 2017 (The Coil)A Best Book by Hoosier Authors in 2017 (Indianapolis Monthly)&ldquo;An impressionistic and often disturbing account of the 2016 presidential race . . . Sexton grapples with the Trump campaign from the perspective of the crowds reveling in the candidate&rsquo;s presence and message. It is a useful vantage point given the increasingly blatant bigotry in the months since the election . . . This book reveals the incremental nature of public displays of hatred, growing from harsh chants and bumper stickers to, say, an open and unmasked gathering of white supremacists in Charlottesville . . . [His] dispatches are bracing.&rdquo; &mdash;The Washington Post&ldquo;With a novelist&rsquo;s flair for the dramatic scene and evocative detail, Sexton expertly marries the quotidian tedium of the campaign trail (so many hotel room beers) and the outlandish circumstances of this particular election season with his astute observations about our polarized national condition.&rdquo; &mdash;Salon&ldquo;Sexton writes as a reporter who experienced both life and politics in the 2016 campaign. His book is excellent . . . [It] tries to make sense of a country trying to make sense of itself.&rdquo; &mdash;Winnipeg Free Press&ldquo;A ground&ndash;level account, sticking close to Sexton and his increasing miseries as he wades into the festering sewer of the 2016 election. The unique perspective, eye&ndash;deep in hell, is equal parts mortifying and edifying. Sexton measures the depths of depravity as he goes, but reminds us that these depths have always existed in the nation.&rdquo; &mdash;The Coil&ldquo;Jared Yates Sexton, previously a minor&ndash;league pundit, is now making an outsider&rsquo;s case for having penned one of the important books of the 2016 presidential race. The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore gets outside the iron ring of microphones that surround, suffocate, and trivialize campaign journalism.&rdquo; &mdash;Los Angeles Review of Books&ldquo;Sexton&rsquo;s first&ndash;person account is both candidly relatable and viscerally frightening . . . [His] seamless blending of his reporter&rsquo;s objectivity with the personal evaluations of a voter who has skin in the game yields trenchant analysis . . . Sexton&rsquo;s is a critical and important voice in helping readers understand the cultural and political sea change the election created.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist (starred review)&ldquo;First of all, this is the best book title of 2017, hands down. Second, and more importantly, this is the book to read if you want to understand what the hell happened in the United States in 2016. If you follow Sexton on Twitter (and you should), you know he brings a sharp eye, fierce intellect, and resilient capacity for surprise to the problem of American political life. And that&rsquo;s just 140 characters at a time. Just imagine what he can do with 300+ pages.&rdquo; &mdash;Bookriot&ldquo;A leftist counterweight to Hillbilly Elegy, laced with shots of Hunter S. Thompson . . . A useful snapshot of a tumultuous presidential race.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Sexton's reporting provides a unique nuts&ndash;and&ndash;bolts look at the campaigns, and his eyewitness reports of the aggressive displays at Trump rallies are both terrifying and fascinating.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;This is the post&ndash;campaign book I was waiting for. Nothing else has shown me so clearly the ruptures in our culture aligned with Trump's candidacy, or even the nature of the way we choose a president. Essential reading for understanding this country now and going forward.&rdquo; &mdash;Alexander Chee, author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel&#160;&ldquo;Jared Yates Sexton didn't just randomly become a phenomenon in his chronicling of Donald Trump's fans and foibles, it happened because he's our Jane Goodall to Trump's Deplorables. His work has been indispensable to those who have tried to understand our times, with an honesty lacking among most of our mainstream media. Read this book.&rdquo; &mdash;Cliff Schecter, bestselling author of The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him&mdash;And Why Independents Shouldn't and a columnist for The Daily Beast&ldquo;Jared Yates Sexton ventured into the dark heart of American partisanship and emerged with a warning that all of us would do well to heed. Thoughtful, compassionate, and exceptionally brave, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how&mdash;and why&mdash;our country turned on itself.&rdquo; &mdash;Bronwen Dickey, author of Pit Bull: The Battle over an American Icon

"Barbara Sattler's book is engaging, sophisticated and full of stimulating ideas. It traces the development of crucial presuppositions of natural science from their earliest roots in Parmenides to their fruition in Aristotle. The perspective and expertise which Sattler brings to these issues will be of great interest and value to those working in ancient philosophy or in the history of science.” Stephen Makin, University of Sheffield

&ldquo;I Love You, Call Me Back is such a towering testament to the human condition, which rings and echoes louder and longer now, after a year of distance, a year of sometimes isolation. This book reminded me of how to come back into myself, how to come back into a world that will maybe be more gentle than before. But even if it isn't, I'm more ready for it now than I was before finding these poems.&rdquo; &mdash;Hanif Abdurraqib, New York Times bestselling author of Go Ahead in the Rain  &#160; &ldquo;Sabrina Benaim is a magician when it comes to writing about heartache in a way that evaporates the heartache of the reader. It&rsquo;s been years since I&rsquo;ve read anything that so fully captures the pulse of solitude, and the undying connections that live beneath its ache. I Love You, Call Me Back feels genre-less in the very best of ways, a poetry collection-meets a memoir in verse-meets a love letter to the wrecking ball that shatters all of the walls between us. Time slowed down when I read these words. I&rsquo;d look up from the page and notice a hundred details about my surroundings that I hadn&rsquo;t noticed before. I am more HERE because of this book, and I can&rsquo;t think of a greater gift to my life than that.&rdquo; &mdash;Andrea Gibson, author of Take Me with You and Lord of the Butterflies"Poet&#160;Sabrina Benaim&rsquo;s second collection is fantastic... Her poems circle loneliness, plants that look like Shrek ears, anxiety, and love."&mdash;Zibby Owens for Katie Couric Media&ldquo;[T]his vulnerable collection focuses on the little, specific moments of sadness of missing someone; the isolation so many felt throughout 2020; and a raw, deep reminder that we cannot have joy without sorrow.&rdquo;&mdash;Buzzfeed

It is a delight to read and one of the strongest anthropological texts on heritage published in recent years."
