I can do that too : a big hedgehog and little hedgehog adventure / by Teckentrup, Britta.; Stuart, Nicola T.;
""I can do that, too!" tells of children's desire to be able to do everything that adults do. And about the fact that adults often don't know how to deal with this, because on the one hand they don't want to discourage children, but on the other hand they don't want to let them try things they are still too small to do. In this book, Britta Teckentrup shows that children can already do some of the things adults do, but often in a slightly different way, and so in the end the result is something different - and the realization that both can learn from each other. The warm and atmospheric illustrations make it easy for adults to talk to children about their abilities and the process of learning things"--

Union Station / by Downing, David,1946-author.;
"Los Angeles, 1953. It has been five years since British journalist John Russell struck a deal with a high-ranking Soviet official, relieving Russell of his duty as double-agent for Soviet and American intelligence. Now Russell lives a life of relative comfort in Los Angeles alongside his wife, Effi, a star on an American sitcom, and their adopted daughter, Rosa, a young artist on the cusp of adulthood. He has just begun work on a book investigating American firms that did business with Germany during Nazi occupation when he notices someone is tailing him--and his wife--all around Los Angeles. Has someone not taken kindly to his research? Is it a McCarthyist freelancer, trying to dig up dirt on Effi and her family? Or, could it be that in the leadership struggle following Stalin's death, the deal Russell struck all those years ago has put him at risk yet again? When Effi is invited to the Third Annual Berlin Film Festival as a guest of honor, the two make the decision to attend--thrusting them into the political disorder of a city that was once their home and which they now struggle to recognize. It is here that Russell will come face to face with the forces that have followed him, from Hollywood to Berlin and back again"--
