Book Description
On 5 August 2019, Suhas Munshi was returning to Srinagar from a visit to legendary poet Habba Khatoon's relic in Gurez, when an unprecedented curfew was imposed upon Jammu and Kashmir, and Article 370 was abrogated. Through his travels and conversations with people across the Valley, Munshi tries to give a sense of what that moment has meant to the common Kashmiri. This insightful travelogue breaks away from the clichéd view of Kashmir, one that sees it either as an earthly paradise or a living hell. It takes you to unexpected places, into the homes of poets, playwrights and street performers; to a heartwarming Christmas service with the minuscule Christian community in Baramulla; and inside the barricaded city of Srinagar's football stadium, which is a lively refuge for the elderly and their memories of a glorious past. Over three weeks, for fear of being abandoned in a harsh terrain, Munshi struggles to keep up with a group of Bakarwal nomadic shepherds as they make their way from Srinagar to Jammu over the mighty Pir Panjal mountains. And he finds a lone Pandit family living in a decrepit ghost colony in Shopian, the hub of militancy in Kashmir. This World below Zero Fahrenheit presents a portrait of a people who've been overshadowed by the place they live in, even as it ruminates on the idea of home and exile.

Book Description
Joey Papagopolis has a pet chameleon named Larry. He also has a Big Red Button that has the power to transport people through time and space. If Joey had just one or the other, he would be fine. But having a chameleon named Larry AND a Big Red Button? Well, that's probably too much for any ten-year-old boy to handle--but it does make for some really great adventures! This time, Joey and Larry go on a Big Red Button adventure filled with crazy twists and turns that take them to outer space and back--but not before landing on a train (and in a cup of tea), staring into the mouth of a hungry Venus Flytrap, nearly getting blown away by a Martian dust storm, and coming to close for comfort with a giant bug in New Zealand. Do chameleons really serve as guide dogs for the blind? Is it really easier to juggle on Mars? Will Larry ever get something to eat? (He thinks that giant bug looks really tasty!) The answer to these questions and more await you in Out of this World! Humorous illustrations by Anne Zimanski.
