  It was in the weeks leading up to Christmas and a familiar face loomed into view in the interior of the Courtyard Shopping Centre on Letterkenny’s Lower Main Street. A face I hadn’t seen for a couple of years but no more appropriate place to meet up with him again than on the site once occupied by the old C.

  Before accolades and agents. Before book deals and book sales. Before workshops, before SATs and even, in some cases, before middle school, these writers were just kids. Kids who wrote.
  “Our Story Begins: Your Favorite Authors and Illustrators Share Fun, Inspiring, and Occasionally Ridiculous Things They Wrote and Drew as Kids,” (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, $17.99) collects the early, early work of some of today’s most lauded children’s authors and illustrators, proving that everyone — even future prize winners — goes through an awkward phase.
  Classes begin on Aug. 15 for the Los Angeles Unified School District, and for any kids dragging their feet, this book provides a little motivation. You never know what homework assignment might light a creative spark — better to save even the gangliest drafts for posterity.
  Even at a tender age, Frazee understood the power of a literary allusion. In “June and John,” her first chapter book, she names the dog Snoopy. “Copying our first mentors is an excellent way to find our own voice as authors and illustrators,” she writes. “Or maybe I just believe that because it’s what I did.”
  Frazee went on to win two Caldecott Honors, for “All the World” and “A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever.”
  Krosoczka gets an A+ for his title, “The Owl Who Thought He Was the Best Flyer.” A classic tale of hubris, you just know there’s no way things ends well.
  Spoiler alert: This overconfident owl cheats during a competition with Hermes, who turns him into the moon.
  Krosoczka is the author and/or illustrator of more than 30 books, including “Punk Farm” and “Lunch Lady and the Cyborg Substitute.”
  R.J. Palacio, the poem "Winged Steed" and accompanying illustration. (Raquel Jaramillo - R.J. Palacio)
  Palacio’s debut novel “Wonder” was a bestseller, which has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide; a movie adaptation starring Julia Roberts is coming to theaters in November.
  Growing up in Illinois, her first visit to the coast inspired Park to write “Fog by the Ocean,” a poem with the flair of fiction. “We didn’t have a dog,” she writes, “but I needed a rhyme for ‘fog.’”
  Park’s “A Single Shard” won a Newbery Medal; she is the author of more than two dozen novels and picture books.
  Alexander considers this work, which he composed for his mother, his first “real” poem. “It took me two days to construct this epistolary poem,” he writes. “When I finished, I just knew I was the next Langston Hughes.”
  For his book “The Crossover,” Alexander received the Newbery Medal and the Coretta Scott King Author Honor, among other awards.
  In “Dandelion Story,” a high-stakes tale, the dandelion is eager to see the world. Conflict escalates when the wind warns that there’s a price to pay for the experience. “I would have to pull you from your roots. You may die.” It’s a classic loss of innocence story with a nature vs. nature twist.
  “Back then, I thought being serious meant being sad or miserable,” she writes. “So, my very sullen author photo was my attempt to look serious.”
  Today, Lin prefers her work to inspire. Her novel “Where the Mountain Meets the Moon” was a Newbery Honor Book; “When the Sea Turned to Silver” was a finalist for the National Book Award.
  Sono trascorsi quasi tre anni dalla elezione della prima Camera repubblicana e questa è chiamata ad approvare una legge di attuazione del referendum previsto dalla Costituzione; è il primo atto di attuazione di un istituto di democrazia diretta al quale il MSI, convinto critico del sistema di democrazia parlamentare introdotto con la Costituzione, guarda con qualche favore. Almirante, pur con riserve sul contenuto della legge, lo dichiara in un discorso succinto che contiene, in nuce, tutti gli argomenti di critica al sistema ed alla crisi delle istituzioni. La proposta in discussione, però, non verrà approvata definitivamente per le forti resistenze dei partiti minori della maggioranza.
