So much more than a picture book, The Gift opens the window to Korean culture, transporting the reader to another time with an important lesson to learn

Tired of constantly working hard, a poor painter encounters the legendary Dokkaebi, who gifts him the life he has always dreamed of as a rich and famous artist. But the painter soon learns that his gifts come at a price and perhaps his new perfect life is not all it seems to be.

Vividly illustrated in a style that combines Minhwa, traditional Korean folk art, with pop art, The Gift is an engaging fable about gratitude and appreciating the beauty in life.

A delightfully imaginative picture book that is both a fun read-aloud and also a great way to engage children in conversations about managing emotions. Welcome to the Grand Hotel of Feelings, where all kinds of feelings come and stay. Every guest has unique needs. Anger, for example, is very loud and needs plenty of space to scream and shout. Sadness speaks in a small voice and occasionally floods the bathroom. Gratitude likes wandering about in nature; you never know when she might come and sit by your side. Some feelings are big and some are small, some are fun and some are tricky, but no feeling is ever turned away. At the Grand Hotel of Feelings, there is room for everyone!

An invigorating guide for tasting, naming, and visualizing the chromatic diversity of wine

While smell and taste dominate the experience of sipping wine, Florence de La Riviére turns our eyes to its color, instead inspiring an artistic and visual approach to wine tasting. Throughout The Look of Wine, readers will meet winegrowers, oenologists, sommeliers, and scientists to weave a canvas of universal words representing the chromatic palette of wines. Alongside this descriptive vocabulary, original photography captures the authenticity of color while leaving room for interpretation. Each family of color is visually represented by a wine, with a description of its hues and the natural and human processes that contributed to creating it. Neither a directory of the colors of wine nor a technical encyclopedia, The Look of Wine is a living tribute to oenology’s chromatic diversity, with a focus on still, unmutated whites and reds, as well as rosés.

And every two and half years, your progressed Moon sign changes, making this guidebook a handy reference you'll turn to for many years to come.
