Jazz Jennings is one of the youngest and most prominent voices in the national discussion about gender identity. At the age of five, Jazz transitioned to life as a girl, with the support of her parents. A year later her parents allowed her to share her incredible journey in her first Barbara Walters interview, aired at a time when the public was much less knowledgeable about or accepting of the transgender community. This groundbreaking interview was followed over the years by other high-profile interviews, a documentary, the launch of her YouTube channel, a picture book, and her own reality TV series, I Am Jazz, making her one of the most recognizable activists for transgender teens, children, and adults. In her remarkable memoir, Jazz reflects on these very public experiences and how they have helped shape the mainstream attitude toward the transgender community. But it hasn't all been easy. Jazz has faced many challenges, bullying, discrimination, and rejection, yet she perseveres as she educates others about her life as a transgender teen. Through it all her family has been beside her on this journey, standing together against those who don't understand the true meaning of tolerance and unconditional love. Now Jazz must learn to navigate the physical, social, and emotional upheavals of adolescence - particularly high school - complicated by the unique challenges of being a transgender teen. Making the journey from girl to woman is never easy - especially when you began your life in a boy's body.

When he was 10, his family applied for an exit visa to emigrate to America and he was ridiculed by his schoolmates and even his teachers for being a traitor to his country. But even worse, his father was sent to an agricultural reform camp to do hard labor as punishment for daring to want to leave Cuba. During the years to come, as he grew up in Glorytown, a neighborhood in the city of Cienfuegos, Eduardo hoped with all his might that their exit visa would be granted before he turned 15, the age at which he would be drafted into the army. In this absorbing memoir, by turns humorous and heartbreaking, Eduardo Calcines recounts his boyhood and chronicles the conditions that led him to wish above all else to leave behind his beloved extended family and his home for a chance at a better future.

Its a slippery subject, rife with as many perspectives as there are people in the world. But laughter gets us talking. It has the power to break down barriers and draw us closer together. In Open Mic, acclaimed author and speaker Mitali Perkins invites us to listen in as 10 authors for young adults - some familiar, some new - step up to the mic and share their stories about what its like growing up between cultures. In a mix of styles, the offerings in this anthology are as diverse as their authors: from the laugh-out-loud hilarious, like David Yoos story about a Korean-American boy pretending to fit every Asian stereotype in order to make friends; to the editorial, like Gene Luen Yangs comic that explains why he wont be watching the Last Airbender movie; to the ironic, like the poem from G. Neri about confronting stereotypes abroad; to the reverent, like Naomi Shihab Nyes ode to her fathers use of language. But no matter what, this volume will certainly get us talking. Step up to the mic. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

This ancient proverb of the Kikuyu people, a tribal group in Kenya, Africa, is as true today as when the words were first spoken, perhaps thousands of years ago. Its essence is simplicity - when the large fight, it is the small who suffer most. And when it comes to war, the smallest, the most vulnerable, are the children. When Elephants Fight presents the stories of five children - Annu, Jimmy, Nadja, Farooq and Toma - from five very different and distinct conflicts - Sri Lanka, Uganda, Sarajevo, Afghanistan, and the Sudan. Along with these very personal accounts, the book also offers brief analyses of the history and geopolitical issues that are the canvas on which these conflicts are cast. When Elephants Fight is about increasing awareness. For the future to be better than the past, better than the present, we must help equip our children with an awareness and understanding of the world around them and their ability to bring about change. Gandhi stated, "If you are going to change the world, start with the children". Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Categoria: Teens, Family & Relationships Riepilogo: Hai cinque anni, due sorelle e desidereresti tanto un fratellino per fare con lui giochi da maschio. Una sera i tuoi genitori ti annunciano che lo avrai, questo fratello, e che sarà speciale. Tu sei felicissimo: speciale, per te, vuol dire "supereroe". Gli scegli pure il nome: Giovanni. Poi lui nasce, e a poco a poco capisci che sì, è diverso dagli altri, ma i superpoteri non li ha. Alla fine scopri la parola "Down", e il tuo entusiasmo si trasforma in rifiuto, addirittura in vergogna. Dovrai attraversare l'adolescenza per accorgerti che la tua idea iniziale non era così sbagliata. Lasciarti travolgere dalla vitalità di Giovanni per concludere che forse, un supereroe, lui lo è davvero. E che in ogni caso è il tuo migliore amico. Con "Mio fratello rincorre i dinosauri" Giacomo Mazzariol ha scritto un romanzo di formazione in cui non ha avuto bisogno di inventare nulla. Un libro che stupisce, commuove, diverte e fa riflettere. >> Questo audiobook in edizione integrale vi è offerto in esclusiva per Audible ed è disponibile solamente in formato audio digitale. ©2016 Einaudi (P)2017 Einaudi Contatto: info@hotaudiobook.com
