帶小孩的每一天，都是一場生存戰！Helene Weston獲廣大共鳴的崩潰育兒日常。理想與現實的落差、頭痛又甜蜜的大小時刻，都在這本超誠實又不失溫暖支持的書裡：你也許不是SNS上光鮮亮麗的酷媽媽，但你已經很棒了。This illustrated gift title is for expectant parents or frazzled new parents who might need a little support during their first year of parenthood. Featuring Helene the Illustrator's honest illustrations, each chapter looks at the different aspects of life with a new baby, from the first days of the newborn bubble through to the unbelievable milestone of their first birthday. Helene began illustrating her experiences of motherhood after the birth of her daughter. She found herself frequently scrolling through Instagram and finding she couldn't relate to the picture-perfect mothers who littered her feed. She started sharing her art and was stunned by the response she received, from new parents who felt just like she did. Helene's supportive, honest, empowering (and sometimes sweary) account of life with a new child unites parents from around the globe. While all parents, babies and
Mary Cassatt is most famous for her paintings of mothers and babies, and that's what first attracts "Claire" because she has a new baby sister. But through research for her class report Claire learns many surprising facts about Mary: she was an American who lived in France nearly all her life, she never married or had children herself, and she became a professional artist at a time when respectable ladies simply did not do that! With beautiful reproductions of Mary Cassatt's best-loved paintings as well as lively childlike pictures that illustrate her life, this Smart About Art book gives children a wonderful "portrait" of a great artist and fascinating woman. Illustrated by Jennifer Kalis.
Book Tok熱門懸疑小說《We were Liars》前傳登場。時間流轉回到過去，同一個豪門家族，不同世代的家庭成員，另一個充滿背叛與錯誤的夏天，騙徒們的謊言與秘密由此展開。The thrilling prequel to the TikTok phenomenon We Were Liars takes readers back to the summer that the Sinclair family’s lives changed forever. Decades before the Liars’ summer together, a different generation of teens—their mothers, Carrie, Penny, and Bess—find themselves on the same private family retreat on the Massachusetts coast. Each year they come to the island. There were once four Sinclair sisters; now there are three. But no one talks about their younger sister’s drowning. It’s the Sinclair way . . . as are so many things. When another tragedy upends what was meant to be a summer of fun, laughter, and first love, the bonds of family are tested. Who will crack under the pressure, and who will forever uphold the rules and keep the secrets, no matter the damage to generations to come? This page-turner full of psychological suspense and heartbreak off
From Tudor times to the First World War, Now You See Us: Women Artists in Britain 1520–1920 will chart the journey of women to becoming professional artists. From Levina Teerlinc, a miniaturist at the court of Elizabeth I, to Laura Knight, the first woman to be elected a member of the Royal Academy after a gap of more than 150 years, women have been a constant presence in the art world, conducting commercially successful careers and exhibiting in public exhibitions. Against society’s expectations of wives, mothers and daughters, limited to the private domestic sphere, they dared to pursue public careers, and to paint history pieces, battle scenes and the nude, usually regarded as the preserve of men.An examination of figures such as Mary Beale, Angelica Kauffman, Elizabeth, Lady Butler and many more will reveal careers very far from the stereotypical view of women as amateur watercolourists, pursuing art as a ladylike accomplishment. Instead, they are revealed as professional women who
