One - Picture Book

BY KATHRYN OTOSHI
Blue is a quiet color. Red's a hothead who likes to pick on Blue. Yellow, Orange, Green, and Purple don't like what they see, but what can they do? When no one speaks up, things get out of hand - until One comes along and shows all the colors how to stand up, stand together, and count. As budding young readers learn about numbers, counting, and primary and secondary colors, they also learn about accepting each other's differences and how it sometimes just takes one voice to make everyone count.

One Heart And A Wrong Spirit

The Religioius Society Of Friends And Colonial Racism - The 2006 James Backhouse Lecture

BY POLLY DAKSI WALKER
"Although the original Quaker settlers held good intentions [in the United States], they were part of a larger system of colonial racism that legitimized the appropriation of Indigenous peoples and lands. Not only in the Americas, but also in colonized lands across the globe, a wrong spirit wrought devastation on all Indigenous peoples through a system of colonial racism." - the author, from the introduction In this lecture, Polly Walker draws on her Cherokee forebears and on interviews she conducted with Indigenous Australians to illustrate the damage and distress to Indigenous peoples caused by the continuing legacy of colonial racism in the United States and in Australia.

One Hen

How One Small Loan Made A Big Difference

BY KATIE SMITH MILWAY
One Hen tells the story of Kojo, who lives in an Ashanti village in Ghana and turns a small loan into a thriving farm. After his father died, Kojo had to quit school to help his mother collect firewood to sell. When his mother receives a loan from some village families, she gives a little money to her son. With this tiny loan, Kojo buys a hen. A year later, Kojo has built up a flock of 25 hens. With his earnings Kojo is able to return to school. Kojo's story is inspired by the life of Kwabena Darko, who as a boy started a tiny poultry farm just like Kojo's, which later grew to be the largest in Ghana. The final pages of One Hen explain the microloan system.

One Of Us

BY PEGGY MOSS, ILLUSTRATED BY PENNY WEBER
The familiar story of a new kid's struggle to fit in at school gets a wry twist in this lively picture book. Roberta receives a warm welcome from Carmen and her friends, who do their hair like Roberta does. But they turn away when she runs toward the monkey bars: they don't play on the playground. The monkey-bar kids invite her to their lunch table, but then they see her daisy lunchbox. Other kids with flowered lunchboxes wave her over, but then they make fun of her pita roll-up. The story's message of diversity comes when Anna, who likes baseball, the trumpet, car racing, and ballet, tells Roberta, "You are one of us," precisely because each one of Anna's group is different.

One Small Plot Of Heaven

Reflections On Family Life By A Quaker Sociologist

BY ELISE BOULDING
More than any other single book, this is an intelligent and sensitive manual for Quaker parenting and family life. Elise Boulding, noted sociologist and peace activist, talks about practicing peace making in family life and creating a colony of heaven, "a home of peace from which to help build a more peaceful world." Boulding speaks of children and solitude, the personhood of children, Friends testimonies in the home, families as centers of peace and love, Quaker foremothers as ministers and householders, reweaving the web of family life for lesbians and gays, the re-creation of relationship and the family as a small society. Boulding offers an inspiring vision for the family.

One Thousand Tracings

Healing The Wounds Of World War Ii

WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY LITA JUDGE
When Lita Judge found hundreds of tracings of feet in her grandmother's attic, she was moved to discover the story behind them. One Thousand Tracings tells that story. In the aftermath of World War II, a family in America established contact with a family in Germany, and sent them a package of much-needed supplies, including shoes. The German family was extremely grateful and asked if their friends would help others in Europe. Soon foot tracings from all over the continent started pouring in to the modest Midwest farm. As the network of American families grew, hundreds of people were touched by this remarkable process. "A lovely book about generosity and compassion." - Karen Hesse

The One-straw Revolution

An Introduction To Natural Farming

BY MASANOBU FUKUOKA
Long out of print in the West - there was a limited availability edition from Friends Center in Rasulia India (whose ideas where much influenced by this book). This manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. Wendell Berry in his preface: "the book is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical. It is an inspiring, necessary book about agriculture because it is not just about agriculture."

Open Moral Communities

SEMOUR MANDLEBRAM
The book is divided into three parts. The first part sets out the role of communities in the creation of moral orders and discusses the implications of three prevalent myths about community. The second part discusses six terms--theory, story, time, city, tool, and plan--that figure prominently in both professional and lay constructions of public orders. The third part presents two cases in which ambiguous moral claims for redemption and justice challenge the pluralism of the open myth. One concerns exclusionary zoning in New Jersey, the other the 1985 attack on the MOVE compound in West Philadelphia.

Open To New Light

Quaker Spirituality In Historical And Philosophical Context

BY LESLIE STEVENSON
This book is about "the meaning of life" or "the spiritual quest". It offers a selective and critical evaluation of some central strands of Western religious and philosophical thought over two and a half thousand years. It starts with Socrates' philosophy of life, and the Greek tradition of philosophy that he initiated. It gives its own "take" on the teaching of Jesus, and on the long and controversial history of Christianity. There is a chapter devoted to George Fox and the beginning of the Quaker movement. It recommends a non-literal interpretation of language about God, with some reference to Austin Farrer on "poetic truth". Sadly a tad expensive!

Oppose And Propose

Lessons From Movement For A New Society

BY ANDREW CORNELL
Where do the tactics, strategies, and lifestyles of today's activists come from? Many ways of doing radical politics pioneered by Movement for a New Society in the 1970s and 1980s have become central to anti-authoritarian social movements: consensus decision making, spokescouncils, communal living, unlearning oppressive behavior, and co-operatively owned businesses. Andrew Cornell's important contribution to US political history uses this story to raise crucial questions for activists today. "Oppose and Propose" is an engaging and accessible study, every page offers new insights.

Orville

A Dog Story

BY HAVEN KIMMEL
A big, ugly dog is happy to meet a farmer and his wife who decide to give him a name and a home, but not so happy when they chain him to the barn. All Orville can do is bark to tell the world how unhappy he is, and the more he barks, the more he is left alone. But everything changes when Sally MacIntosh moves into the little house across the road and Orville falls in love.

The Other Side

BY JACQUELINE WOODSON, ILLUSTRATED BY EARL LEWIS
Clover has always wondered why a fence separates the black side of town from the white side. But this summer when Annie, a white girl from the other side, begins to sit on the fence, Clover grows more curious about the reason why the fence is there and about the daring girl who sits on it, rain or shine. And one day, feeling very brave, Clover approaches Annie. After all, why should a fence stand in the way of friendship? Beautifully rendered in Earl B. Lewis's striking illustrations, Jacqueline Woodson gives us a moving, lyrical narrative told in the hopeful voice of a child confused about the fence someone else has built in her yard and the racial tension that divides her world.
