Sibert Honor author Deborah Hopkinson brings her signature action-packed narrative style to one of the most crucial battles of WWII.
The WWII invasion known as D-Day was the largest military endeavor in history. By June 6, 1944, Hitler and his allies had a strong grip on the European continent, where Nazi Germany was engaged in the mass extermination of the Jewish people. The goal of D-Day was the total defeat of Hitler's regime, and the defense of free democracies everywhere. Knowing they had to breach the French coast, the US, Great Britain, and Canada planned for the impossible.
D-Day was an invasion not for conquest, but liberation, and required years to plan and total secrecy to keep the advantage of surprise. Once deployed, Operation Overlord involved soldiers, sailors, paratroopers, and specialists. Acclaimed author Deborah Hopkinson weaves together the contributions of not only D-Day's famous players, but African Americans, women, journalists, and service members in a masterful tapestry to bring this decisive battle to vivid, thrilling life.
For fans of rich and complex historical novels like Girl with a Pearl Earring or Code Name Verity, Laura Malone Elliott delivers the stunning tale of real-life Renaissance woman Ginevra de' Benci, the inspiration for one of Leonardo da Vinci's earliest masterpieces.
The young and beautiful daughter of a wealthy family, Ginevra longs to share her poetry and participate in the artistic ferment of Renaissance Florence but is trapped in an arranged marriage in a society dictated by men. The arrival of the charismatic Venetian ambassador, Bernardo Bembo, introduces Ginevra to a dazzling circle of patrons, artists, and philosophers. Bembo chooses Ginevra as his Platonic muse and commissions a portrait of her by a young Leonardo da Vinci. Posing for the brilliant painter inspires an intimate connection between them, one Ginevra only begins to understand. In a rich and vivid world of exquisite art with a dangerous underbelly of deadly political feuds, Ginevra faces many challenges to discover her voice and artistic companionship-and to find love.

Daddy Speaks Love speaks to that everlasting bond between children and their fathers and is a perfect gift for special occasions including Father's Day, Valentine's Day, birthdays, baby showers, and more!
Dagfrid n'a aucune envie de préparer le banquet des chefs.
C'est peut-être un honneur, mais c'est aussi très injuste. Parce
que chez les Vikings, les filles doivent cuisiner le poisson qui
pue, pendant que les garçons se préparent à leur avenir de
guerriers ou de navigateurs. Et le frère de Dagfrid, lui, a plutôt
l'air de se préparer à ne rien faire du tout. En attendant, ce
banquet ne va pas se faire tout seul...
Beaucoup de choses embêtent Dagfrid. Son prénom, déjà. Et puis la vie de fille viking n'est pas franchement drôle: on a des tresses roulées en brioches sur les oreilles, on porte des robes trop longues, on fait sécher du poisson. D'ailleurs, on ne mange que ça, du poisson. Mais les filles, en plus, elles ne peuvent même pas naviguer et découvrir l'Amé - rique. Enfin, jusqu'à maintenant. Parce que Dagfrid en a vrai - ment trop marre du poisson séché.
