Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An inspirational reframing of the bestselling classic The 5 Languages of Love, including all kinds of people and all kinds of loveThe Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman has sold millions of copies since it was published in 1992. Framed around how to best communicate with your romantic partner, 'What's your love language ' is such a pervasive conversation topic that it's become a common prompt on dating apps. But despite its popularity, it really hasn't kept up with the times-it's simplistic, limited, and doesn't allow room for all the beautiful complexities life has to offer.Love Lessons, written by Alise Morales and illustrated by Ana Jarén, reframes the familiar concept of love languages as a more fluid and flexible method of communication that we all engage with at different times, in different moods, and with different people.From romantic partners to close friends, from family to coworkers, this book shows how love languages don't have to be a one-size-fits-all approach. Existing love languages are reexamined and new ones introduced as equally powerful tools for expressing respect, admiration, and care in our most valued relationships. Morales' text is accompanied by Jarén's diverse artwork, showcasing illustrations that reflect the anarchy of the universal approach previously set forth by Chapman. Her maximalist, colorful drawings are indicative of the fun and freeing content that Morales has reframed to reach a more open-minded generation.Informative writing, inclusive language, and multiple-choice quizzes come together in Love Lessons to reach new heights within the community of people wanting to uncover how they give and receive love. Jarén, Ana (illustrator).…

The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that were safe for Black travelers. It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific problem.Candacy Taylor writes in her introduction, 'The Green Book was published during a time when car travel symbolized freedom in America, but since racial segregation was in full force throughout the country, the open road wasn't open to all. When Black motorists picked up a copy of the Green Book, they were greeted by the words 'Just What You Have Been Looking For!!
