Deborah Spencer Bücher

Was macht der Clown, wenn er mal schlecht drauf ist? Ein Clown ist lustig und bringt andere zum Lachen. Aber was macht er eigentlich, wenn ihm selbst nicht zum Lachen ist? Er nimmt es mit Humor! Der Musikkabarettist Bodo Wartke erzählt von unsichtbaren und versteckten Gefühlen, vom So-tun-als-ob, und warum es hilft, über sich selbst zu lachen. Sein Lied über den Clown wird in diesem Bilderbuch von der Illustratorin Deborah Spence stimmungsvoll in Szene gesetzt. Zum Vorlesen für Kinder ab fünf Jahren und zum Anhören über den QR-Code.

"History enthusiasts and those with a naval or military background are sure to be immersed in the untold story of this famous ship - a history that includes wars and conflicts in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean and colorful commanders," said Spencer, a life-long history enthusiast. "I've combined a compelling narrative with ship images, battle scenes, portraits of captains and their commodores, along with maps to draw readers into the story."Spencer's narrative follows the ship's beginnings as tensions grow with France during the Quasi-War with France through a time period where the Barbary State of Tripoli declares war on the United States to the War of 1812. The story culminates with tales of piracy in the Caribbean when bandits preyed on merchant ships and the Enterprize was charged with conducting anti-piracy operations. The word "enterprise," or "enterprize as it was generally spelled long ago, has been defined as embarking on new ventures with boldness and energy.
