How to Draw and Paint 

Christopher Hart

Missouri

Interest in anime and manga—the arts of Japanese animation and comics—is exploding in the US children’s market. Pokémon, Digimon, Dragon Ball Z, and Sailor Moon are just a few of the anime phenomena delighting kids ages 4–12. Kids Draw Anime, the eighth book in the popular Kids Draw series, is the first book specifically designed to teach kids 6–12 how to draw the popular anime style themselves. Focusing on shõjo- and shõnen-style anime, the book teaches the familiar “big eye” look, in which characters are drawn cute and young as opposed to the angular, dramatic characters of -oriented styles. Young artists will find a complete introduction to anime style, taught with engaging text and full-color art. Dozens of fun, hands-on lessons demonstrate how to draw heads, eyes, expressions, hairstyles, the basic body, hands and shoes, good guys and bad guys, goofy characters, fantasy characters, robots, and much more. As in all Kids Draw books, each dazzling spread is easy to follow, fun to look at, and guaranteed to charm a new generation of artists! • Anime is a multi-billion dollar industry in the US alone • Offers age-appropriate instruction and illustration • Continues the wildly successful Kids Draw series

Stories, Strategies and Advice for Changing Our World

A bipartisan self-help guide to political activism for citizens wanting to improve the world around them—with real-life examples and practical tips—from one of Seattle’s most celebrated leaders From post-inauguration rallies to #NoDAPL and the Black Lives Matter movement to the global Women’s March on Washington, the people are exercising their power through protest and community organizing in a way that hasn’t been seen in years. For those looking to organize for the first time or for seasoned activists looking to update their repertoire, the time is ripe for a playbook like Becoming a Citizen Activist. A longtime Seattle city councilmember and one of the city’s most effective and inspiring leaders of progressive political and social change since the 1960s, Nick Licata outlines how to get organized and master the tactics to create change by leveraging effective communication strategies (such as creating community through online channels like Facebook and Twitter), how to effectively engage traditional media channels, and how to congregate local and national people power. Licata demonstrates by example that we can fight city hall. Balancing an idealistic vision of a better world with the clear-eyed pragmatism necessary to build it from the ground up, this smart and powerful book will empower any activist with the tools they need to effect change.

"In the England of murder mysteries and TV detectives, no destination is deadlier than a quaint country village, and you never know you're in a murder village until it's too late. No attraction or local character is safe--whether in the pub for a pint, or on the manicured grounds of the local estate for a shooting party, bodies can turn up anywhere! Danger lurks around every cobblestone corner. If you are foolish enough to make the trip, at least be prepared. Brought to life with dozens of Gorey-esque illustrations by Jay Cooper and peppered with allusions to classic crime series and unmistakably British murder lore, Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village gives you the tools you need to avoid the same fate, should you find yourself in a suspiciously cozy English village (or simply dream of going). Good luck, and whatever you do, avoid the vicar and don't drink the tea"--
