Kumak's Fish: A Tall Tale from the Far North
by Michael BaniaOne Arctic morning, Kumak looked out the window and saw the sun rising over the frozen river. "Ahhh, spring," said Kumak. "The days are long. The nights are short and the ice is still hard. Good day for fish." Eager to try out Uncle Aglu's amazing hooking stick, Kumak goes out ice fishing with his family. Kumak waits patiently and finally, his line twitches. He pulls but can't land the fish. Everyone in the village joins in to help, but Kumak is sucked into the hole. They pull again, and out Kumak flies with a string of fish, each holding onto the fish in front of it. With a catch big enough to feed the whole village, they head home exclaiming, "Good day for fish." The playful art, text, and notes on fishing methods provide children with a window into Inupiat culture in this follow-up to Kumak's House."

Kumquat May, I'll Always Love You
by Cynthia D. GrantLuna Lee, fragile and vague, had wandered off for parts unknown. And that left fifteen-year-old Livvy, self-reliant and practical, all alone. True, her mother sent her a postcard now and again, but never a clue to her whereabouts--or when she might return, if ever. Livvy knew if it was learned that she was on her own, her mother could be in trouble. For that matter, so could Livvy, because what if the officials forced her to live with her obnoxious uncle and his family?--a fate that Livvy hopes to avoid at all costs! And so for two years, Livvy has expertly managed to keep secret from the people of Kumquat, her home town, the fact that she is alone. This is harder than it might seem because Kumquats folks are quite nosy. Yet, it is also easier than it should be, because Kumquats folks, like many of us, are too busy and self-absorbed to look too deeply into Livvy's various ruses. Only Livvy's best friend, Rosella, knows, and she loyally helps Livvy maintain her secret. But two years of living alone has made Livvy lonely and vulnerable. When Raymond comes along, it's too easy to fall in love. In love with Raymond, Livvy wants to tell him her secret too. But can Raymond be trusted?

The Kurds
by Leeanne GelletlyThe Kurds are considered the largest ethnic group without a state of their own. Most live in the mountainous region historically known as Kurdistan; however, this region, which includes parts of Turkey, Iraq, and Syria, never existed as a political entity. Under the rule of others, the Kurds were discriminated against and sometimes persecuted-most infamously by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. As a result the dream of autonomy or a national home holds a powerful grip on the Kurdish imagination. This book examines the economic and political issues facing the Kurdish people today. It provides up-to-date information about the geography and climate of the areas in which the Kurds live, the history of this ethnic group and its society, important Kurdish cities and communities, and the Kurds' relations with the governments of the countries in which they live.
