Lampička - Jindřich Janíček, Annet Schaap
Lampička je příběh o moři. Vypráví o tajuplných mořských bytostech a divokých pirátech. O černém domě admirála, ve kterém prý bydlí netvor. O šedém majáku na ostrůvku, který jen na vlásku visí u pevniny. O Lampičce, dcerce strážce majáku, která každý den vystoupá jedenašedesát schodů, aby v majáku zapálila světlo. O bouřlivém večeru, kdy dojdou sirky a všechno se pokazí. Ale zejména o odvaze a schopnosti dokázat víc, než by si člověk kdy pomyslel. Oceněný debut nizozemské spisovatelky a ilustrátorky Annet Schaap přeložila Radka Smejkalová a ilustroval Jindřich Janíček. Pro čtenáře od dvanácti let.

''A truly fascinating must-read'' – Elinor Cleghorn, bestselling author of Unwell Women''Powerful and well-researched. The Lost Girls of Autism shines a much-needed spotlight on a critical issue'' – Dr Maureen Dunne, author of The Neurodiversity EdgeThe history of autism is male. It is time for women and girls to enter the spotlight.When autistic girls meet clinicians, they are often misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, personality disorders – or receive no diagnosis at all. Autism’s ‘male spotlight’ means we are only now starting to redress this profound injustice.In The Lost Girls of Autism, renowned brain scientist Gina Rippon delves into the emerging science of female autism, asking why it has been systematically ignored for so long. Generations of researchers, convinced autism was a male problem, simply didn’t bother looking for it in women. But it is now becoming increasingly clear that many autistic women and girls do not fit the traditional, male, model of autism. Instead, they camouflage and mask, hiding their autistic traits to accommodate a society that shuns them.Urgent and insightful, this is a searching examination of how sexism has biased our understanding of autism.
