"What seems like a joke to most people is a slap in the face to me and to many other Asian Amsterdammers. This is not an innocent phrase."

"In most children's books, there's just this constant feeling of adrenaline - of pushing forward to solve the problem. Madeleine slowed us down and took us to Ixchel to sit for a while."

The current deal on The Complete Calvin and Hobbes comic collection, reduced to $94.69, represents the lowest price of the year, making it an excellent opportunity for fans.

Like the rest of the slim little Mess-Dios picture books, Make Your Own Rainbow is participatory, with queens of all shapes and sizes, in wheelchairs and a variety of gender presentations.
