商品簡介

Here is a celebration of mature women--women whom author Sharon Creeden likens to fully opened blossoms. A professional storyteller, Creeden draws on folktales, her stock-in-trade, to illuminate female heroism and life issues women face, including childbirth, aging, and death. Each folktale is paired with a vignette about a notable American woman. Using this approach, Creeden provides a rich context for viewing women's lives--and brings us some inspired pairings: the Rumanian tale of "The Wise Old Woman" and the story of Maggie Kuhn, founder of the Gray Panthers; the Irish legend of Finn MacCool's wife (the real power behind the legend) and the account of Edith Wilson, who ran the White House when her husband was impaired by a stroke; the Cherokee creation myth "Spider brings the Fire" and the portrait of Wilma Mankiller, former principal chief of the Cherokee Nation; the heartbreaking Jewish tale "Beruriah's Jewels" and the story of Rose Kennedy, who helped a nation grieve. In Full Bloom includes 30 such pairings, with folktales from a wide array of traditions, including Mexico, Ethiopia, China, Japan, the south Pacific, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Greek mythology, Biblical scripture, the American South, and the Cherokee nation.

Lillian Morrison Bio:

As the coordinator of young adult services at the New York Public Library, Lillian Morrison collected rhymes and chants from her young patrons that she later compiled into anthologies. Morrison also edited a collection of folk sayings, I Scream, You Scream: A Feast of Food Rhymes. A School Library Journal reviewer wrote that the book,“has the tone of something that really is for kids, who all know the magic of a good, loud chant. Put a copy on your shelf, then put your ear to the window at recess, and see if you don't hear some of these short verses rising up from the chaos of the schoolyard.” “Lillian Morrison's contributions to the world of children's literature and librarianship were many,” said Ellen Ruffin, curator of the de Grummond Collection at University of Southern Mississippi, where Morrison's papers are housed. “She spent more than forty years as a librarian and wrote children's poetry books, an unusual combination of both a writer and a practitioner - proof positive of her commitment to children and books.” Her dedication to library services for children led to her receiving the ALA Grolier Award for her contributions in stimulating the interest of young readers.

Nancy Dunaway Bio:

Nancy Dunaway's work is a reflection of her life: very eclectic, a curious combination of objects often inspired by a glimpse of something natural and then taking a leap somewhere else. She has a very spiritual side and her work always reflects that component as well. She likes to think that her work tells stories of her journey along the path. Although her art is very specific to her life, she hopes that it connects with her audience to touch their life stories as well. She works in a variety of media and loves to explore the unique attributes of each form. Making her art is a dialogue between her, the process and the materials. She begins with a loose notion, then puts a mark or an image on canvas or paper. She gathers materials to assemble, and then, they guide her where to go next. As a result, her work is filled with a constant dialogue and surprises along the way.
