Sonny Bravo is a tender, unusually smart fifteen-year-old who is living with his vivacious mother in a large city where intense prejudice is not just white against black, but also brown. When Sonny’s mother, Silvia, suddenly marries an Okie building contractor named Cloyd Longpre, they are uprooted to a small apartment building, Los Flores. As Sonny sweeps its sidewalks, he meets his neighbors and becomes ensnared in their lives: Cindy, an eighteen-year-old druggie who is married and bored; Nica, a cloistered Mexican girl who cares for her infant brother but who is never allowed to leave their unit. The other tenants range from Pink, an albino black man who sells old cars in front of the building, to Bud, a muscled-up construction worker who hates blacks and Mexicans, even while he’s married to a Mexican-American woman. Dagoberto Gilb, in arguably his most powerful work yet, has written an inspiring novel about hate, pain, anger, and love that transcends age, race, and time. Gilb’s novel displays the fearlessness and wit that have helped make him one of this country’s most authentic and original voices.

A dazzling, sensuous celebration of color and form by the photographer whom Architectural Digest described as "the love child of Georgia O'Keeffe and Robert Mapplethorpe." "When I agreed to write an essay for Beane's book," recounts Anthony F. Janson, esteemed curator and professor, "I had no idea I would be writing about one of the greatest photographers I have ever run across. It was easy enough for me to locate his position in the history of photography and art as a whole. I saw its importance immediately. Such an approach hardly begins to meet the challenge of explaining his work." With intensity, vision, and expressiveness Christopher Beane captures the beauty, and the bizarre, of the botanical. He concentrates on the overlooked detail: the veins of dehydrated petals, the textures of poppy stamens, the infinite compositions vines create, and the multiple layers that constitute a ranunculus. In 150 photographs, Flower explores the precious and perishable nature of flowers—seed pods burst open, withered leaves curl, and frilly petals unfurl. Anthony F. Janson contributes a rich and engaging overview of the core ideas that define Beane's art, offering the reader a context for thinking about this unique work, while he chronicles its development. A thing of beauty, Flower is the gift book everyone will welcome—a testament to the remarkable talent of Christopher Beane and his passionate vision.

Celebrate their big day in unique style with our Birthday Flower Cake and watch them enjoy some calorie-free fun! The History of the Birthday Flower Cake An excerpt from Jim McCann's book, Stop and Sell the Roses The No-Calorie Layer CakeThe Birthday Flower Cake One of our best money-making ideas came from a bull session on one of my trips. We had visited a number of our BloomNet florists. BloomNet is a nationwide network of 2,500 flower shops that we have handpicked to fulfill our orders. They have the right customer service attitude and take service seriously. As we talked with florists in a number of towns, I kept hearing the same message: "We want to be able to do something more with our craft capability." It made sense, come to think of it: if you are in the flower business, the odds are you have an artistic bent. You want to do something more than wrap up a dozen roses and send them out with the driver. One night, toward the tail end of the trip, I brought up this subject with a group of florists. It just so happened that Lily Buckland, one of our fulfilling florists near Denver

Available for the first time on 180-gram LP!!!Emilie Simon has given new life to French pop and electro. One of the most successful artists of past years, she ranks with the likes of Daft Punk and Air, and is one of the most eloquent windows to contemporary French music. She is often called the French Björk. Her manipulation of English and French, her gift for finding the perfect musical articulation and resonance, the millions of precise musical details that become clearer and more remarkable each time your hear them, and her blend of electronic beats with subtle live orchestrations make Simon a unique artist, gifted with a beautiful and distinct voice. Added to all of this is high-quality mixing by genius Markus Dravs, who has worked with Brian Eno and Björk, among others.In addition to her amazing studio albums, Emilie Simon also composed the French soundtrack to the worldwide smash hit March of the Penguins, which gave her huge commercial success and crowned her as the master of electro-pop. She is a multi-award winning artist in France: Best Electronic Album of the Year for her debut album and Best Original Film/Television Soundtrack of the Year for March of the Penguins.As her American fan base is rapidly growing, Milan Records is proud to release Simon s first US album, The Flower Book, on 180-gram LP. The core of the album consists of the best songs from her two French studio albums, which are still unavailable to this day in the US, and also includes one of her tracks from March of the Penguins. The Flower Book includes mystifying songs based on otherworldly themes. Each song is a story of its own with its own atmosphere, distinct from the previous one...from the ethereal My Old Friend, to the lively up-tempo Fleur De Saison and Dame De Lotus, to the more intimate Le Vieil Amant.
