Oct 26 reschedule - P&P Live! Siena Cherson Siegel and Mark Siegel-Tiny Dancer
P&P Live! Siena Cherson Siegel and Mark Siegel-Tiny Dancer
Due to a publishing delay beyond our control, this event has been rescheduled to Tuesday, October 26, at 7 EST.
Teenage Siena lives and breathes ballet. Her dedication earns her a spot at the School of American Ballet; her long-term plan is New York City Ballet or bust. In spite of her talent, Siena struggles with self-doubt and injury, leading her to question her dream. But what else could she do, when ballet is all she knows? This loving ode to ballet also questions its sometimes grueling practices. Siena Cherson Siegel's graphic memoir of her own experiences as a young ballet dancer will engage readers of all ages who love dance. Illustrations by Mark Siegel exquisitely capture the dancers' graceful movements.
Siena Cherson Siegel is an author and former dancer who trained at the School of American Ballet. To Dance and Tiny Dancer are stories from her life.
Mark Siegel is known both as an author, illustrator, and as the editorial director of First Second Books, a Macmillan imprint that publishes graphic novels for all ages.
Ages 12 to adult
Each purchase of Tiny Dancer will come with a signed bookplate, while supplies last.

Before Spider-Man leaped off the pages of comic books into the movies, Steve Ditko, a cartoonist, and Stan Lee, a scriptwriter, sat down at their desks and invented him. The Library of Congress possesses the original drawings for their collaboration, which appeared in the August 1962 issue of "Amazing Fantasy." Together we look at the moment the radioactive spider bit Peter Parker, turning him from a lonely teenager into a superhero. We discuss how Steve Ditko changed his art in reaction to Stan Lee's editorial notations in the margins of the drawing. Specialists present the art in an interactive format, highlighting the artistic creative process, including how Ditko drew the costume for the first time and how it differs from what Spider-Man wears today. We also discuss how Peter comes to learn "with great power there must also come — great responsibility!" Conceived as an interactive event aimed at children and young adults who may be aware only of the Marvel movies, Library staff will highlight and discuss that the story came from a book — a comic book — and the imaginative possibilities of a talented writer and artist working as a team.
Learn more about the Library of Congress experts participating in the National Book Festival, including Sara W. Duke from the Prints and Photographs Division and Megan Halsband from the Serial and Government Publications Division.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Happy Trails"
"Happy Trails"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3306
Is it just me, or has The Atlantic become our one-stop shop for
tone-deaf shit takes? My current favorite clunker concerns the fascist
abortion law in Texas, and its potential to turn out the vote for the
Democrats. Yeah, that's right — Texas has gone full-on fascist with
this shit, a fistful of other states are reportedly considering going
that way, and the Democrats' number one priority is — exploiting
encroaching fascism to rustle up votes and money for the midterms, and
herd the Left back into the Party. Git along, little dogies. H'yahhh.
if you are playing games with reproduction rights to stick it to
the other side in the midterms then you're not fighting for anyone's rights,
you're fighting for your own power.
And while we see you doing nothing in power except offering
empty promises for when you get more, no
