Empower children to stand up for what is right with this picture book inspired by the real-life events around the statue of a slave trader, its toppling and heroic replacement. They call him ‘HERO’, but he’s no HERO – not to me. A Hero Like Me is inspired by the events of 7 June 2020, when a statue of seventeenth-century slave trader Edward Colston was pulled down and thrown into Bristol Harbour during an anti-racism protest. Co-author Jen Reid was one of the protesters that day, and despite being afraid of heights, she spontaneously climbed onto the empty plinth and raised her fist high above her head – a moment that was captured on camera and shared around the world. On the morning of 15 July, a statue of Jen by Marc Quinn was added to the empty plinth. It was called A Surge of Power and it gained national attention for the 24 hours it was in place, and beyond. This inspiring picture book tells the story of these events through the eyes of a little girl who, every day, on her way to school, sees a towering statue. A statue of a man who sold freedom for cotton and tea. The world around her says this man is a hero. But she knows he’s not a hero – not a real one. Heroes are hard to find. She looks for them around corners, under rocks, and on TV, but there are none that she can see. And so, the little girl marches and shouts for them instead. And that statue – he doesn’t belong. He doesn’t stand for Kindness. He doesn’t stand for Peace. Maybe he shouldn’t stand at all. A Hero Like Me empowers children to have courage to stand up for what is right and be their own hero. It shows every child that they have a voice in their community and a say in who is on their streets. That they too have power, just like Jen.

New edition with a foreword by Bernardine Evaristo ''A brutal record of segregated America ... essential reading'' Guardian''An anti-racist classic'' Bernardine Evaristo In the autumn of 1959, a white Texan journalist named John Howard Griffin travelled across the Deep South of the United States disguised as a working-class black man. Black Like Me is Griffin''s own account of his journey. Published in book form two years later it sold over five million copies, revealed to a white audience the daily experience of racism and became one of the best-known accounts of racial injustice in Jim Crow-era America. Embraced by some and fiercely criticised by others, its legacy sixty years on remains problematic, but Black Like Me nevertheless stands as a fascinating document of its times.''There is a saying among Negroes that no white man, no matter how hard he tries, can really understand what it''s like to be black in America. John Howard Griffin has come closer to this understanding than any white man that I know.'' Louis Lomax, Saturday Review ''If it was a frightening experience for him as nothing but a make-believe Negro for sixty-six days, then you think about what real Negroes in America have gone through for 400 years.''

Ever since the day she first walked through the House of Commons as the first Black woman MP, she has been a fearless and vocal champion for the causes that have made Britain what it is today, whether it’s increasing access to education for Black children and speaking out against the Iraq war or advocating tirelessly for refugees and immigrants.A unique figure in British public life, Diane has often had nothing but the courage of her convictions to carry her through incredibly hostile environments, from torrential abuse in the mainstream media and on social media, to being shunned by the political establishment, including by her own party. Written with frankness and wry humour, A Woman Like Me is an inspirational account that celebrates how one woman succeeded against massive odds and built an extraordinary legacy.

Does joy just seem too difficult to come by these days? Does it seem irresponsible or naïve? Maybe you don''t feel like you can be joyful, don''t know how to, or don''t deserve to? In this collection of short essays on defiant joy, Shemaiah Gonzalez reflects on how she gradually learned to see joy not as an indulgence but as a necessity—a way of life and the fruit of faith. But her journey to joy was long. It had been so absent throughout much of her life that it felt foreign at first.Through her own stories, Gonzalez discovers along with you how joy is the fruit of knowing God. Like God, once you start looking for joy, you might start finding it everywhere. Like God, sometimes it initially feels unsafe."Perhaps these stories, of finding joy in laundry and Van Gogh''s paintings of sunflowers, in daydreaming, and even in the darkest of places, will allow you to see life anew. Perhaps you will, like me, no longer wait for the big things to happen but will find there is abundance today. Each day holds joy in the mundane and the magnificent—we just need to learn to see."Over the course of these 37 essays, Gonzalez, vulnerable and lively, will draw you into a new way of seeing that will revolutionize your everyday. It''s time to claim God''s goodness and share it with abandon, not in spite of the brokenness of the world, but because of it.It''s time to live joyously.

Audiokniha: Kolik obětí přinese hledání pravdy o smrti milovaného člověka? Když Tracy Crosswhiteová před dvaceti lety ztratila svou sestru Sáru, nezískala jedinou odpověď, která by jí pomohla pochopit, co se stalo. Místo toho byla nucena přihlížet, jak se za vraždu odsuzuje muž, o jehož vině stále pochybuje. Když je konečně nalezeno tělo Sářiny sestry, Tracy jako zkušená detektivka znovu otevírá starý případ a vydává se na nebezpečnou cestu hledání pravdy. Čím hlouběji se noří do minulosti, tím více se odhalují tajemství jejího rodného města – a s nimi i hrozby, které ji mohou stát život. Hrob mé sestry je první díl napínavé série o Tracy Crosswhiteové, kde nechybí důmyslná detektivní práce, osobní zápasy, ani odhalení pravd, které měly zůstat pohřbeny navždy. „Hrob mé sestry není jen skvělá detektivka, ale také osobní a bolestivé vyprávění. Retrospektivní kapitoly prohlubují temnou atmosféru a já si dokážu představit, že se podobné věci dějí každý den. S klidným srdcem doporučuji!“ – Helena Kubelková (Knihy Dobrovský Blog) „Hrob mé sestry je čtivý a poutavý příběh, který kombinuje detektivní zápletku s osobními vztahy. Ideální oddechové čtení pro milovníky lehčího detektivního žánru.“ – Jana Modřínová (Knižní díra)
