Bo Burnham Livres

Ben had always harboured hopes of becoming more than he was, but nothing could have prepared him for this sudden leap forward. Up until recently, it was him watching others helping the sick where he worked, but now he had the power to do far more than all of them. He could actually take away people’s cancer or diabetes in an instant. The only problem was, he had never healed anyone before, and the person who had given him this power was a complete mystery.There was only one thing he could do: he was going to have to take a leap of faith. This would mean putting his trust in a person he didn’t fully know. It would mean running the risk of losing all his friends. On top of all that, it would mean facing enemies who were determined to stop him at all costs.No-one ever told him that believing would be easy, but he would never have imagined it would lead to this much adventure or such a stunning conclusion.

HUMOUR. Bo Burnham was a teenager living in his parents' attic in Massachusetts when he started posting funny songs to YouTube that immediately turned heads with their wise satire that belied his very young age. He quickly struck a chord. Over 16 million people watched his videos and he soon amassed a gigantic (and young) online following that excitedly awaited each new video. Soon after that, Bo became revered in all comedy circles for being a wholly original, highly intelligent young voice. Judd Apatow started championing the young comedian, and Bo taped his first Comedy Central special at age 18, the youngest in history. His comedy/song albums were huge critical and commercial successes. His MTV show ZACH STONE IS GONNA BE FAMOUS, of which he is the star, writer, director, and producer, and which largely comments on his own rise to fame, will premiere in 2013.

Have you ever had to help clean up your yard after a windstorm? Things can get blown everywhere. Sometimes even the trash cans get knocked around, and all the contents get blown all over the place. What a mess! That is what the zoo animals face after a heavy wind blows things all over their homes. In her book, Trash Is Art: Imagine That, author Elizabeth Burnham shares what happens when the animals are faced with the aftermath of a windstorm. Human volunteers are coming the next day to clean up, but the animals want to help too. With the help of Freddie the Fabulous, an art expert who is also a flamingo, the animals make creative works of art with what was considered trash. They even inspire the humans! With illustrations by Sara Studer, Trash Is Art: Imagine That is an entertaining story that might have you taking a second look at things before throwing them away.
