Gert loves dirt. She rolls in it, digs in it, even tastes it. But one day, while she's making mud pies, all that dirt changes her. Gert sprouts leaves, grows roots, and begins to photosynthesize in the sunlight! Gert is delighted, but the neighborhood can’t believe it. . . and soon the notoriety becomes too much for the grungy, green girl. Luckily, Mom and Dad know just what to do! Told in rhythm and rhyme and full of fun, tongue-twisting vocabulary, Dirty Gert is a celebration of individuality and unconditional love. . . and, of course, of the fun of playing in the dirt. Tedd Arnold’s cartoonish illustrations—complete with a cast of whispering worm commentators—express the joy of making mudpies, playing with worms, and most importantly, spending time with your loving family.

Dirt is a story about the places where we start. From a single-wide trailer in the mountains of rural West Virginia to the halls of Yale Law School, Mary Marantz's story is one of remembering our roots while turning our faces to the sky. From growing up in that trailer, where it rained just as hard inside as out and the smell of mildew hung thick in the air, Mary has known what it is to feel broken and disqualified because of the muddy scars leaving smudged fingerprints across our lives. Generations of her family lived and logged in those hauntingly treacherous woods, risking life and limb just to barely scrape by. And yet that very struggle became the redemption song God used to write a life she never dreamed of. Mixed with warmth, wit, and the bittersweet, sometimes achingly heartbreaking places we go when we dig in instead of give up, Dirt is a story of healing. With gut-wrenching honesty and hard-won wisdom, Mary shares her story for anyone who has ever walked into the world and felt like their scars were still on display, showing that you are braver, better, and more empathetic for what you have survived. Because God does his best work in the muddy, messy, and broken--if we'll only learn to dig in.

At a very young age, Lucy Smith's mood dropped so low it went underground and died. Clinical major depression had taken its toll. Throughout her adolescence, Lucy struggled with painful social interactions and suicidal thoughts, learning to fantasize about living in a different world. When no one else was around, her inner world came alive, and she could dance, dream, act, sing, draw, and write her way into relief from reality. In the illustrated journal "The Dirt: An Illustrated, 100% Uncensored Memoir of a Girl with Mental Illness," Lucy acknowledges her struggles with mental illness and channels her internal dialogue into an outer dialogue that simultaneously informs and helps others. "The Dirt" offers snapshots of Lucy's thoughts about her depression, anxiety, and bipolar mania as she navigates through difficult circumstances such as unrequited love and familial abuse. The journal entries are sorted into themed sections: "Anxiety," for situations where she second-guesses everyone in her social life and their motives towards her; "Body," for struggles relating to her body dysmorphia and eating disorder; "Depression," the biggest section, detailing her suicidal thoughts and how they affect her life; "Family," where she discusses the abuse from her family, especially her parents; "Love," where she ruminates on such topics as living and dying alone; "Metaphysics," where she discusses her metaphysical beliefs and how they help her deal with some of her issues; and "Coping," the final chapter, in which she encourages readers to fight for their own wellbeing with positive ideas. With "The Dirt," Lucy creates a new public dialogue, inspiring other girls and feminine-presenting individuals to come forward with their stories. Community is built through dialogue, and it takes courageous people to start a dialogue about challenging and controversial issues. Let's nurture a community with no stigma about mental illness, where no related subject is taboo, and where everyone can get the help they need-- and not be afraid to ask for it."The Dirt: An Illustrated, 100% Uncensored Memoir of a Girl with Mental Illness" is solid proof that despite the suffering, we are capable of thriving.
