Forget Frosty the Snowman or Ruldolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The next great holiday hero is a small, flammable chunk of barbecue fodder. He's impeccably dressed, he's terribly grumpy, and he's looking for a holiday miracle. It's unmistakably Snicket - here's the opening line: This holiday season is a time for stoytelling, and whether you are hearing the story of a candelabra staying lit for more than a week, or a baby born in a barn without proper medical supervision, these stories often feature miracles.
Willie Lumpteron goes to the airplane factory to see Uncle Rupert. He gets too close to the secret formula and falls in the tank. Later Willie wakes up sitting by a pond next to Dunklin, a big box turtle. The turtle hasnt grown, Willie has shrunk. He also meets an energetic chipmunk named Figbee. Dunklin and Figbee help Willie find out why he is so small and why no one seems to be able to see Willie but the animals. Willie learns that things are a lot different in his new world.
Sarah Andersen's hugely popular, world-famous Sarah's Scribbles comics are for those of us who boast bookstore-ready bodies and Netflix-ready hair, who are always down for all-night reading-in-bed parties and extremely exclusive after-hour one-person music festivals. In addition to the most recent Sarah's Scribbles fan favorites and dozens of all-new comics, this volume contains illustrated personal essays on Sarah's real-life experiences with anxiety, career, relationships and other adulthood challenges that will remind readers of Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half and Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened. The same uniquely frank, real, yet humorous and uplifting tone that makes Sarah's Scribbles so relatable blooms beautifully in this new longer form.
A little lump of clay that badly wants to be "something" finally gets its wish.
One spring morning in 1957, photojournalist David Douglas Duncan paid a visit to his friend and frequent subject Pablo Picasso, at the artist’s home near Cannes. Alongside Duncan in his Mercedes Gullwing 300 SL was the photographer’s pet dachshund, Lump. When they arrived at Picasso’s Villa La Californie, Lump decided that he had found paradise on earth, and that he would move in with Picasso, whether the artist welcomed him or not. This is the background for a book that offers an uncommonly sensitive portrait of Picasso. Lump was immortalized in a Picasso portrait painted on a plate the day they met, but that was just the beginning. In a suite of forty-five paintings reinterpreting Velasquez’s masterpiece 'Las Meninas', Picasso replaced the impassive hound in the foreground with jaunty renderings of Lump. Today all of those historic canvases are now the centerpiece exhibition in the Picasso Museum of Barcelona. Fourteen of the paintings are reproduced here in full colour, juxtaposed with Duncan’s dramatic and intimate black-and-white photographs of Picasso and Lump, bringing full circle the odyssey of a lucky dachshund who found his way to becoming a furry, super-stretched icon of modern art.

When Manasseh first takes his very best clay out of his bag to make a centerpiece for King Herod, little did he know what his lump of clay was really destined to become. When we are first introduced to this very proud lump of clay, he is excited to be sitting on a famous potter's wheel in Jerusalem, wondering what he is destined to look like physically and how famous he is going to be one day. We follow him on his journey around and around the potter's wheel, to his first home, to his second, and finally see the very reason why he had been created in the first place. His journey is not an easy one, and he has hard lessons to learn, but the story of the little lump of clay shows how God's intended outcomes make all the trials and tribulations worthwhile.
