Book Description
WYNKEN, BLYNKEN AND Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe– Sailed off on a river of crystal light Into a sea of dew . . . So begins Eugene Field’s lovely bedtime poem, which tells of three wee fishermen who sail up to the stars, and a boy who imagines it all before he drifts off to sleep. Field’s timeless text has lulled generations of little listeners into dreamland, and this version, complimented by Giselle Potter’s magical illustrations, is perhaps the most enchanting—and the closest to Fields’ own vision—of all.

Book Description
The Illustrated Wynken, Blynken & Nod In this imaginative visual interpretation of Eugene Field's poem, transformation is afoot: a trundle bed becomes a wooden-shoe sailing-craft. The surrounding wonderful water world is inhabited by star-born fish, a musical moon, a squeamish seahorse, and three wee fishermen, all entwined with the roll of the sea across shimmering pastel skies. The child reader is also aboard, appearing in the billowing spinnaker sail as the sabot is sped on by the antics of the wind. In the end, a final transformation is complete: a time honored classic poem has become a fine-arts feast for young visual readers. The edition appears more than a century after Field's death, though it was worth the wait This fully illustrated edition of Field's masterpiece is sure to endure the test of time. The sensitive, colorful renderings give flight to our imaginations and spur young readers to abandon themselves to the fantasy-world traveling of the unusual characters who inhabit this story. Of course the ship's final destination, Sleep, is reached, as all nightly passengers will discover. This visual flight of fancy is the perfect launch pad for pleasant dreams, and will easily enhance the pre-bedtime routine. Each new reading tugs one more deeply into the intricate illustrations where new discoveries await. So, ... "Shut your eyes while mother sings of wonderful sights that be... And you shall see the beautiful things as you rock in the misty sea." You're sure to make a cozy landfall... beyond the sea of dew.

Book Description
FOREWORD BY BRENE BROWN and POSTSCRIPT FROM BRAIN PICKINGS CREATOR MARIA POPOVA Rock star, crowdfunding pioneer, and TED speaker Amanda Palmer knows all about asking. Performing as a living statue in a wedding dress, she wordlessly asked thousands of passersby for their dollars. When she became a singer, songwriter, and musician, she was not afraid to ask her audience to support her as she surfed the crowd (and slept on their couches while touring). And when she left her record label to strike out on her own, she asked her fans to support her in making an album, leading to the world's most successful music Kickstarter. Even while Amanda is both celebrated and attacked for her fearlessness in asking for help, she finds that there are important things she cannot ask for-as a musician, as a friend, and as a wife. She learns that she isn't alone in this, that so many people are afraid to ask for help, and it paralyzes their lives and relationships. In this groundbreaking book, she explores these barriers in her own life and in the lives of those around her, and discovers the emotional, philosophical, and practical aspects of THE ART OF ASKING. Part manifesto, part revelation, this is the story of an artist struggling with the new rules of exchange in the twenty-first century, both on and off the Internet. THE ART OF ASKING will inspire readers to rethink their own ideas about asking, giving, art, and love.
