If you didn’t make it to Tyche Hendrick’s talk about the US-Mexico borderlands you missed a treat! Absolutely fascinating discussion. If you get the chance to hear her speak, don’t miss it.
Having said that, you can read her conclusions in The Wind Doesn’t Need a Passport or listen to her discussion with two other authors at KQED’s Forum program. (also downloadable, but there’s no transcript, unfortunately)
Again, thank you, Tyche!

Tyche Hendricks, author of The Wind Doesn’t Need a Passport: Stories from the US-Mexico Borderlands, will be here Thursday, July 29 from 5-7pm to read from and discuss her book.
If you don’t have time to read the book before she’s in-store, check out the discussion here on KQED’s radio program, Forum. (download or streamed)
Local author Cheryl Wilfong, who wrote ‘The Meditative Gardener’, will be here to discuss her book on Friday June 18th, from 4-6PM. If you haven’t had a chance to peruse it yet, please come in and do so. It’s a visual feast for the eyes as well as being a meditation on mindfulness meditation.

On April 23 and 24 Nancy will be bringing our books to this conference, as we do every year. The books available for children and families coping with the transitions and challenges of foster care are not always easy to find, but these books are specialties of ours.
These include books for children about trauma, different kinds of families, multiracial families and friendships, differences in ability, and expression of feelings. Books for parents and families include books on communication, autism and learning disorders, attachment, outdoor activities, and many other topics of interest.
We always carry a strong selection of these books at the store, and are happy to guide people through them
Author Katherine Paterson (Bridge To Terabithia, Jacob Have I Loved, etc) will be speaking about her new book, The Day Of The Pelican, at 7pm in the Everett Theater Southern Vermont College on Tuesday, March 30, 2010.
…recounts the journey of a Muslim family fleeing ethnic cleansing in the Balkans and landing in Vermont. With Paterson’s characteristic balance of sensitivity and openness to life’s difficult passages, the powerful story conveys a sense of the experiences of many of our newest Vermonters. Examining such themes as cultural conflict, the rule of law, intolerance, compassion, and resilience, this compelling book holds much food for thought and countless lessons for readers of all ages.
The Day Of The Pelican is now available in hardcover for $16.99
