Download or read book Ending Book Hunger written by Lea Shaver and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every child has the right to read. Books make this right a reality. One billion kids lack access to books in their native languages. Forty percent of America's children cannot afford to buy books. This is a crisis for education, because the best predictor of a child's success in school is the number of books at home. Ending Book Hunger highlights nonprofit strategies to reshape children's publishing by creating more diverse books, lowering costs, overcoming language barriers, and promoting mobile reading through digital libraries. Can such efforts expand to bring books to the next billion would-be readers? Lea Shaver reveals the powerful roles of copyright law and licensing, and encourages her readers to join the campaign to end childhood book hunger. Whether you are a teacher, librarian, author, illustrator, bookseller, publisher, or any other kind of book lover, Ending Book Hunger will engage you, inspire you, and change the way you think about books.

Book excerpt: Advocacy in public policy is all about moving mountains as it relates to understanding that it’s all about the stone. Ultimately, in the public policy arena, we are all lawmakers who can move mountains when we accept that we are all empowered in a democracy. Nothing is unattainable...and the key to moving the mountain is our passion and focusing on the stone. I’ve been an advocate/public policy professional/lobbyist my entire personal and professional life – it’s been a way of life that I would encourage anyone to explore. Here’s more about what I think...

Book excerpt: "Hungry? Check the Green Book. Tired? Check the Green Book. Sick? Check the Green Book." In the late 1930s when segregation was legal and Black Americans couldn't visit every establishment or travel everywhere they wanted to safely, a New Yorker named Victor Hugo Green decided to do something about it. Green wrote and published a guide that listed places where his fellow Black Americans could be safe in New York City. The guide sold like hot cakes! Soon customers started asking Green to make a guide to help them travel and vacation safely across the nation too. With the help of his mail carrier co-workers and the African American business community, Green's guide allowed millions of African Americans to travel safely and enjoy traveling across the nation. In the first picture book about the creation and distribution of The Green Book, author Keila Dawson and illustrator Alleanna Harris tell the story of the man behind it and how this travel guide opened the road for a safer, more equitable America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Faith Over Fear is an outcome of the attempt to answer several such questions that occur during the course of everyday lives of most of the people – “Am I doing the right thing?”, “is this where I want to be?”, “can I really do this ?”, “should I take this path?" so on and so forth; questions that don’t seem to have a very clear answer at the outset, but almost always become clearer as we dwell on them. But the process off dwelling on the questions, pondering the possibilities, is fraught with several other related emotional attributes that come to the fore – Fear, Insecurity, Negativity, Courage, Commitment, Happiness, Contentment, Positivity and above all Faith. The book dwells at length on each of these attributes, taking inspiration from some well-known examples of people who rose above fears and insecurities, overcame negativity, and displayed the courage to chase the path of faith over fears, identifying and pursuing success, displaying stellar commitment towards their intent, and pursued their chosen paths even in the face of great adversities. Light-hearted and easy to read, the book touches individually on each of the attributes of success, and is aimed at taking the reader on a short journey through the course that the thoughts take and how to interpret and manage the manifestation effectively.
