Raza’s Bindu
BINDU is a familiar symbol in Indian culture, but how does a child respond to it? Young Raza started searching for deeper meanings within the BINDU and saw it as more than just a Dot. It lingered with him till he started giving creative expression, using BINDU as the focal point. This book delves into the works of famous Indian artist S.H. Raza and takes children on a fantastic visual journey. It directs them to demystify the BINDU and introspect on its meaning and significance. Raza's world of BINDU--as Universe, Sun, Panchtatva and more--unfolds through brilliant illustrations and a stirring narrative. Creatively interlaced with fun projects, BINDU unlocks the realm of art to children. -- publisher

"Soon after American colonists had won independence from Great Britain, Ona Judge was fighting for her own freedom from one of America's most famous founding fathers, George Washington. George and Martha Washington valued Ona as one of their most skilled and trustworthy slaves, but she would risk everything to achieve complete freedom. Born into slavery at Mount Vernon, Ona seized the opportunity to escape when she was brought to live in the President's Mansion in Philadelphia. Ona fled to New Hampshire and started a new life. But the Washingtons wouldn't give up easily. After her escape, Ona became the focus of a years- long manhunt, led by America's first president. Gwendolyn Hooks' vivid and detailed prose captures the danger, uncertainty, and persistence Ona Judge experienced during and after her heroic escape."--Provided by publisher

José!
In 1908 a baby boy was born in Culiacan, Mexico, kicking like a roped steer. BAM! BAM! BAM! His name was Jose Limon. Though he and his family fled civil war in their homeland by escaping to the United States when Jose was just seven years old, he would never forget the sounds and movements of his birthplace. Then Jose followed his heart to New York City. He fell in love with the shimmering city that towered above him: marble, stone, brick, and steel. He wanted to give a gift to the world and discovered the world of dance. There was no stopping Jose Limon, who went on to become one of the greatest modern dancers who ever lived. Award-winning author Susanna Reich and acclaimed illustrator Raul Colon tell the story of this great Mexican dancer in a picture book biography as beautiful and graceful as Jose's dance itself.
