A picture book about refugees and animals that will make you catch your breath on the last page. There are millions of refugees around the world and many are held in detention centres for years, including children. In recent times, it feels as if the world's refugee crisis has become a political issue instead of a humanitarian one. With haunting echoes of contemporary society's treatment of refugees, A Grain of Hope is a dual story on facing pages of a dog called Dok and a refugee girl named Hanan. Both are escaping unsafe lives and their stories mirror each other until the end when one ends happily and the other is still unfinished. It opens discussion about compassion and hope with older readers, from the ages of 8 to adult. The beautiful, watercolour and pen illustrations by Aldy Aguirre are a beautiful accompaniment to a hard hitting, but necessary, story which questions society's willingness to sometimes assist animals quicker than we assist humans. It is suitable for classroom use with facts provided about refugees at the end of the book and a wealth of moral, social, financial and ethical concerns to be discussed. More information is available at Nicola's website to assist with such discussions. A Grain of Hope will keep you thinking, long after the end cover is closed.

In the heart of Ukraine’s fertile lands, thirteen-year-old Oksana Kovalenko leads a simple life with her family. The rolling fields and rustic charm of her small farming village are all that she knows. That is, until the Soviet Union takes power, and her world is turned upside down. As increasing authoritarianism and threats of land and food confiscation loom, Oksana fights to protect her loved ones from hunger and the loss of everything they hold dear. Her strength and resilience are tested as she is forced to navigate through the chaos, witnessing immense suffering as famine erupts due to the regime’s grain requisition. Threatened with being labeled an Enemy of the State, her family and friends endure persecution. She watches in horror as her village is reduced to starvation and despair. Forming unexpected alliances, she finds courage in friendship as she joins an underground movement that plans covert operations to feed starving villagers. Throughout this ordeal, Oksana grows from a hopeful schoolgirl into someone determined to protect her heritage at all costs. The premise revolves around themes of survival against tyranny, familial bonds in times of crisis, loss of innocence amidst political upheaval, and the resilience required to withstand historical tragedies such as famine and purges that characterized Stalin’s rule over Ukraine. A Grain of Hope reminds us of the human toll of war and oppression and pays tribute to the strength of the human spirit. Oksana’s story will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.

I began writing first drafts of Grain of Hope in 1988. It has been quite the journey. My book reveals an intimate portrait of struggle and pain, and ultimately, perseverance and prevailing over the insurmountable. It represents peace and new beginnings. For me, the book eloquently illustrates an arduous journey that shows that, even when I felt I couldn't go on, I did.A tiny grain of hope kept me going day after day. I liken hope to a grain because a grain is a tiny seed that yields an abundant field of wheat. In comparison, the smallest effort of hope I could muster yielded a plentiful supply of sustaining power that I desperately needed during a crucial time in my life.My journey starts and begins with the search to find merit for living and moving on with my life. When I reached my most weakened and emotional state, I discovered how to tap into the innate power of "hope." Hope and belief in God is what I know sheltered my mind and empowered me to pick up the pieces of my broken heart. It gave me the acceptable peace that I so desperately needed to rebuild my shattered life. With Grain of Hope, I hope to inspire others to do the same. I hope you will be empowered to pick up the pieces of your broken heart, mend them together again, and begin to live a wholesome life in the face of any crisis or tragedy.

Introducing the 7 principles for practicing critical hope--because hope isn’t something you have; it’s something you do. Each person has a unique, ever-changing relationship to hope. Hope alone can be transformational--but in moments of despair, or when you’re up against profound injustice, it isn’t enough on its own. Hope without action is, at best, naive. At its worst, it tricks you into giving up the power and agency you have to change systems that cause suffering. Enter critical hope: a spark of passion, an abiding belief that transformation is not just possible, but vital. This is hope in action: a vibrant, engaged practice and a commitment to honoring transformative potential across a vast spectrum of experience. Dr. Kari Grain, PhD, offers 7 principles for practicing critical hope: Hope is necessary, but hope alone is not enough Critical hope is not something you have; it’s something you practice. Critical hope is messy, uncomfortable, and full of contradictions. Critical hope is intimately entangled with the body and the land Critical hope requires bearing witness to social and historical trauma Critical hope requires interruptions and invitations Anger and grief have a seat at the table The principles for practicing critical hope are not what you might think: they confront toxic positivity and take up discomfort, social injustices, and an ethos of hospitality toward anger and grief. But held in this same space is a love for connection–and an honoring of what makes you feel alive. Inspired by her global research, teaching experiences, and education curriculum taught at the University of British Columbia, Dr. Grain shows that to cultivate critical hope--and combat despair--you need to show up with your whole self, in all its messy, passionate, vibrant complexity.

The Full Ripened Grain is a memoir about a successful Baby Boomer, wife, and mother, who finds herself deeply depressed for no apparent reason. When her husband says, "I want my wife back," she searches for herself in the pages of thirty years of personal journals. From them, she recollects the painful and poignant issues that she and her family faced during much of the 20th century: Tourette Syndrome, her mother's fate as the victim of medical malpractice, her father's secret life and the death of a beloved sister. Ultimately, she reaps the grains of truth, hope and joy that God provides on this journey of faith.

The development discourse has long been dominated by best practices prescriptions for reform, but these are not a useful way of responding to the governance ambiguities of the early 21st century. Working with the Grain draws on both innovative scholarship and Brian Levy's quarter century of experience at the World Bank to lay out an alternative-a practical, analytically grounded, "with-the-grain" approach to reducing poverty and addressing weaknesses in governance. Best practice prescriptions confuse the goals of development with the journey of getting from here to there. A strong rule of law, capable and accountable governments, and a flexible, level playing field business environment are indeed desirable end points. But the ability to describe well-governed states does not conjure them into existence. If the only available actions are all or nothing, then efforts at change will almost certainly fall short, leading to disillusion and despair. By contrast, this book takes as its point of departure the realities of a country's economy, polity and society, and directs attention towards the challenges of initiating and sustaining forward development momentum. The book: -- distinguishes among four broad groups of countries, according to whether polities are dominant or competitive, and whether institutions are personalized or impersonal -- identifies alternative options for governance and policy reform-top down options which endeavor to strengthen formal institutions, and options supporting the emergence of "islands of effectiveness" -- explores how to identify entry points for change where there is a good fit between divergent country contexts and alternative options for reform. Sometimes the binding constraint to forward movement can be institutional, making governance reform the priority; at other times, the priority can better be on inclusive growth. Taking the decade-or-so time horizon of practitioners, the aim is to nudge things along-seeking gains that initially may seem quite modest but sometimes can give rise to a cascading sequence of change for the better.

Love, insecurities, divorce, career adventures, questions about belonging, embracing a disability, losing a parent. These and more are grains put together with love, honesty and hope by Zohra Damani. As Zohra shares her life openly with you, it is with the intent of creating hope. Hope that you are not alone. Hope for days when you feel that your world is crashing, so you still have something to hold onto. Hope that you will accept yourself in every shape and form. Hope that no matter how hard the journey is, you won't give up on yourself. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. As you read, if you find that none of these grains apply to you, then simply take it with a grain of salt. But if they do, then sprinkle them throughout your life, savor the journey, and share them with others you meet, so that we lost souls may walk alongside each other.
