Yoga by Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre
Based on the life of beloved author-illustrator Patricia Polacco's own amazing grandmother, this wonderful celebration of reading and community is as exhilarating as it is heartwarming. Young Stella loves books so much, her books begin to take over the farmhouse. Why, Stell, you need your own library to hold those books, her pa tells her, so he and the neighbors build her one She calls it the Mermaid's Purse, since the midwife said Stella was born in one. Stella opens the Purse to her neighbors and travels around the countryside, sharing her books door-to-door. Not everyone gives them a chance at first, like grouchy Pig Ears Lonsberry. But farmer Dunkle sure changes his mind when information in a book saves his sick sheep. Eventually, everybody comes to love the Mermaid's Purse--so when a tornado destroys it, scattering Stella's precious books far and wide, the whole community rallies to help.
The Sivanada Yoga Vedanta Centre was established in 1957 by Swami Vishnudevanada (1927-1993). This nonprofit organization with locations around the world is dedicated to the teaching of classical yoga and vedanta philosophy as a way to promote physical, mental, and spiritual health. As part of a global network of ashrams and centres, yoga teachers guide their students in developing an integral practice of yoga and meditation. More than 25,000 yoga teachers have graduated from the international Sivanada teachers' training courses since 1969.
