'Such dir aus, was dir am besten gefällt. Dann erzähle ich dir die Geschichte dazu', ermuntert der alte Mann seine kleine Urenkelin. So beginnt dieses Buch, das die Geschichte eines abenteuerlichen Lebens erzählt. Der Urgroßvater hat erst spät Lesen und Schreiben gelernt. Da er aber einTagebuch führen wollte, hatte er zu sammeln begonnen: Ein Olivenkern erinnert an die Kindheit und den Hunger in Italien, eine Bordkarte an die lange Schiffsreise auf dem Unterdeck nach Amerika. Andere Dinge erzählen davon, wie schwer es für die Familie war, in der fremden Welt Fuß zufassen, und vom Glück des Angekommenseins. So passt ein ganzes Menschenleben in eine Kiste voller Streichholzschachteln.

The empirical roots of meditation, its relevance to daily life, and the challenges and benefits of daily practice of Vipassana meditation are also addressed.

From the Newbery Medal-winning author of Seedfolks, Paul Fleischman, Joyful Noise is a collection of irresistible poems that celebrates the insect world.Funny, sad, loud, and quiet, each of these poems resounds with a booming, boisterous, joyful noise.The poems resound with the pulse of the cicada and the drone of the honeybee.
