![]() ![]() Lily is mostly fine with this-she doesn't want to be the center of attention anyway-but things change when her mother decides that the three of them (Mom, Lily, and her older sister Sam) should move away from their home in California to be with their halmoni (a Korean word for grandmother). When You Trap a Tiger's protagonist is Lily, a young girl going into seventh grade who feels invisible-most people look past her and leave her to her own devices, including her own mother at times. Regardless, I'm excited to be giving this book a bit of attention on my blog here today! (Especially since-at the last possible moment-I have a book that's appropriate for AAPI Heritage Month, which ends today.) ![]() ![]() I was surprised by this-maybe some of the other awards (like Christina Soontornvat's double-Newbery-Honor with A Wish in the Dark and All Thirteen) stole this one's thunder, but I'm still not totally convinced that's what's going on. I've seen a few reviews of this book recently, but honestly, I haven't seen much attention paid to When You Trap a Tiger, this year's recipient of the Newbery Medal and the Asian/Pacific American Award for Children's Literature. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Raven spends her days learning how to use her rare gifts-and more important, how to hide them. She must never speak to outsiders about how her mother makes miracles spring from the earth, or about her father, whose mysterious presence sometimes frightens her. In a remote area of Washington, a young girl named Raven keeps secrets inside, too.

Hans built two bicycles, and they fled Paris just a few hours before it fell. As Jews, the Reys decided to flee Paris before the Nazis seized the city. Their work was interrupted with the outbreak of World War II. The result, Rafi and the Nine Monkeys, is little remembered today, but one of its characters, an adorably impish monkey named Curious George, was such a success that the couple considered writing a book just about him. While in Paris, Hans's animal drawings came to the attention of French publisher, who commissioned him to write a children's book. ![]() They married in 1935 and moved to Paris, France that same year. ![]() While there, she met her future husband Hans (who was a salesman and also from Germany). ![]() Rey), the co-author and illustrator of children's books, best known for their Curious GeorgeĪlthough she was born in Germany, she fled to Brazil early in her life to escape Nazism.

ĪFI defines an "American screen legend" as "an actor or a team of actors with a significant screen presence in American feature-length films (films of 40 minutes or more) whose screen debut occurred in or before 1950, or whose screen debut occurred after 1950 but whose death has marked a completed body of work." In other words, the list generally honors actors recognized for their contributions to classical Hollywood cinema.

She writes about aftermaths (as, to some extent, all poets do) but revisits childhood, her relationship with her mother, the death of her sister and parents, the end of her marriage and old age with bleak and revelatory precision. From the beginning, she has been concerned with endings, declaring recently in Faithful and Virtuous Night (2014): And she is a poet not of dashes but of full stops: she comes repeatedly to a halt to consider. But unlike Dickinson, Gluck’s approach is non-ecstatic: she is more undeceived than exalted, not an obvious believer in the sublime. Glück could not have written her poems had Emily Dickinson never existed (she confessed in her Nobel acceptance speech to having devoured Dickinson’s poetry in her teens). This month, Penguin is presiding over a grand introduction – or reintroduction – to her work, bringing out the collected poems (also including 2006’s Averno, a reimagining of Persephone’s story and one of her finest volumes). There is a bare-branched, midwinter feeling to her writing, a leaflessness that has its own beauty. To read her is to encounter stillness and slow time. Even though she had been garlanded with literary awards in the US and faithfully published by Carcanet in Britain, she is a poet who never seeks attention. ![]() W hen Louise Glück won the Nobel prize last year, she was, to many in the UK, an unknown quantity. ![]() |
