The beauty of it is that it takes little to no time at all to fill a bread board with Fougasses, Breadsticks, Moroccan rolls or Poppy Seed Stars, Sesame plaits or Cardamom and Prune bread, and no one will guess that they are all part of the same 'family'.

Richard Bertinet has been teaching bread making for several years and with his refreshing and easy approach you will discover how to 'work' the dough, get a feel for essential techniques, and have the confidence to experiment with your own ideas. Most of the breads in Dough take less than 1 hour to bake and there are suggestions on how to make the dough in advance ready for a wide range of sweet and savory bakes - all in the knowledge that you're being guided by a master of the craft.

Inuit babies spend much of their time in the warm embrace of their mother's amaut, the snug pouch in the back of a woman's parka where babies and small children can be carried.

In this heartwarming story, a little girl helps out her busy aunt by packing her baby cousin in a cozy amaut. She walks her cousin and sings sweetly to her, finally lulling the fussy baby to sleep.

Butterflies come in every color of the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, and white. But their vibrant wings aren't just beautiful, they give each butterfly a special power too.

Over the years, butterflies' wings have brightened, dulled and transformed as they adapt to their ever-changing environments, helping them survive and thrive through everything from the industrial revolution to the climate crisis.
Colors help butterflies camouflage and stay safe in their surroundings, making them disappear among vibrant flower petals and invisible against bronze tree trunks. Intricate patterns on their wings confuse and scare away predators, but they can attract the perfect mate too. And then there are some butterflies who are not in fact the color the appear to be at all--instead they are iridescent and simply reflecting the light.

In this beautifully illustrated book, you'll discover hundreds of different colored and patterned butterflies from around the world and find out what makes them so special. You'll also learn about the butterfly life cycle, their sense of smell, taste and sight, flight and migration, as well as what butterflies have mean to us and why they're important players in our ecosystem.

CONTENTS INCLUDE
- Stunning gallery-style spreads grouping butterflies together by color
- Detailed examination of the four stages of the butterfly life cycle: Egg-larva-chrysalis-butterfly
- The amazing Monarch migration from North America to Mexico
