Looking for divorce books for kids, divorce books for women, divorce books for men? This book is all in one.
♥This beautiful picture book is a perfect tool for divorced parents and their children for coping with divorce and separation anxiety.♥
A picture book for all ages that explains divorce and separation to children and can be used as a guiding tool for all members of the family. The front part gives practical steps for how to discuss mommy and daddy living apart forever by renowned UK child psychologist Dr Amanda Gummer PhD.

♥ If you want to raise happy children after divorce this divorce book is a must-have and suitable for all children aged 5 upwards (reading it together with their parents). ♥

The fairy tale about two beings and their little Star is accompanied with engaging illustrations and a storyline which explains that divorce is easier when two people can no longer live happily together and acknowledge that it isn't and never was the child's fault. The book explains that a child should never feel guilty and know that he or she is truly loved.

Shine: "Why don't Moon Fairy and Sun Prince live together?" is a beautiful divorce book for kids, mums and dads that will help your children easily understand:

1. Divorce and separation.

2. Why parents divorce.

3. Living with one parent, single parenting.

4. Living in two homes or having two homes.

5. That kids are unique and loved by both parents despite the divorce.

6. That is not the end of the world after the divorce.

7. That kids from divorced families are also unique and loved.

♥ Why is this book different from other divorce books for kids? ♥

✔This divorce book is different from other divorce books for kids in that its storyline captures the happy times and gently explains that sometimes love wanes and people need to divorce in order to be happy but that it is never the fault of the child for divorce or separation.

✔The text and storyline answer the very tough question of "why don't mummy and daddy live together?" and provide a tool to engage discussion between parent and child, but can also be read by relatives, caters and friends of all ages.

✔The divorce book is written in multiple layers so that it can be understood by children of all ages reading it together with their parents. After reading the story it could lead to more questions from a child and thus start a needed conversation about divorce.

✔It can have a cathartic effect on adults due to its message value and colour spectrum. Divorced mothers will find comfort and reassurance in it through and after a divorce. Separated fathers will find it easier to re-build connection with the child by reading the book and explain to them why they are no longer with their mother.

✔This one of a kind divorce book for kids has been applauded by divorced mums, divorced dads, single parents, literary experts and child therapists from Europe and the United Kingdom. But most importantly, it provides a beautiful bedtime story for kids and adults.

♥ Why you should read this divorce book with your child? ♥

Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Gr 4-6-Once a year in the Protectorate there is a Day of Sacrifice. The youngest baby is taken by the Elders and left in the forest to die, thus appeasing the witch who threatens to destroy the village if not obeyed. Unbeknownst to the people, Xan, the witch of the forest, is kind and compassionate. When she discovers the first baby left as a sacrifice, she has no idea why it has been abandoned. She rescues the infants, feeds each one starlight, and delivers the shining infants to parents in the Outside Cities who love and care for them. On one occasion, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight along with starlight, filling her with glowing magic. Xan is smitten with the beautiful baby girl, who has a crescent moon birthmark on her forehead, and chooses to raise her as her own child. Twists and turns emerge as the identity of the true evil witch becomes apparent. The swiftly paced, highly imaginative plot draws a myriad of threads together to form a web of characters, magic, and integrated lives. Spiritual overtones encompass much of the storytelling with love as the glue that holds it all together. VERDICT An expertly woven and enchanting offering for readers who love classic fairy tales.-D.

Luisa is repeatedly teased and called "weird" by her classmate Sam, even though she is simply being herself-laughing with her friends, answering questions in class, greeting her father in Spanish, and wearing her favorite polka-dot boots. Luisa initially reacts to the bullying by withdrawing and hiding her colorful nature. But with the support of her teachers, parents, classmates, and one special friend named Jayla, she is able to reclaim her color and resist Sam's put-downs.
These three books tell the story of an ongoing case of bullying from three third graders' perspectives. Luisa describes being targeted by bullying in Weird! Jayla shares her experience as a bystander to bullying in Dare! And in Tough!, Sam speaks from the point of view of someone initiating bullying. Kids will easily relate to Luisa, Jayla, and Sam, as each girl has her own unique experience, eventually learning how to face her challenges with the help of friends, peers, and caring adults.

Editorial Reviews

Three stories told from the perspectives of three different children: one who is bullied ( Weird!), a bystander ( Dare!), and the bully herself ( Tough!). Each title shows readers, through the texts and the expressive ink illustrations, what each child feels. In Weird! Luisa is portrayed as a bubbly and vibrant character wearing her beloved polka-dot boots everywhere she goes. Then she is tormented by Sam, and her uniqueness and confidence become liabilities instead of strengths, and she throws away her boots. It isn't until a bystander, Jayla, stands up to the bully and returns Luisa's footwear that the book ends on a positive note with the victim confidence restored. Following the stories, nonfiction sections offer tips from each character's perspective or suggest simple group activities that model positive behaviors. Each title also has talking points and discussion questions, so readers can go back into the story and discuss what is occurring and how they might be able to change the outcome in a real-world scenario. The books stand alone as separate titles, but they're much more effective when utilized together to give a complete view of how the main characters are feeling and the outside events that help shape their roles. For example, Sam, the bully, is being taunted at home by an older brother-setting her up to then find someone that she can pick on at school. These will be useful titles particularly for schools, but also for public libraries that see a fair number of requests for character-education titles.- School Library Journal

One of a trio of books that present the topic of bullying from three perspectives: the bullied, the bystander and the bully.

No matter what Luisa does, from wearing her favorite polka-dot boots to telling jokes at lunch, Sam declares that she is Weird!Luisa gradually stops being herself, until her mother and friends help her realize that she is wonderful the way she is. Jayla's fear of becoming the target governs her actions as she alternately stands by and does nothing and takes Sam's Dare! to participate. She eventually realizes that she has lost too much to feeling scared and befriends Luisa. From glimpses of her home life, it is not hard to see why Sam acts as Tough! as she does. But her attempts at keeping things cool are not winning her any friends, and the fact that no one is playing by her rules anymore gets her to start thinking about her behavior. While the series is slightly didactic, the well-drawn characters have real problems with (mostly) credible resolutions. Extensive backmatter, with separate sections for children and adults, in each book summarizes the lessons learned and provides activities to help change ingrained behaviors. Heaphy's pen-and-ink illustrations are dotted with highlights of color that spotlight the main characters. She is a master of facial expression and body language; Sam's hoodie sweatshirt speaks volumes all on its own.

While the series would benefit from a boy's version, the message is still loud and clear; this should find a home in every school library. (Picture book/bibliotherapy. 6-12)-Kirkus

Luisa tells her story: "I have a problem. There's a girl in my class who thinks that everything I do is WEIRD!" When she speaks in class, when she tells a joke, when she wears her polka-dot boots-Sam's always around muttering "weird." Luisa keeps changing her behavior to appease Sam, but that doesn't seem to be possible. After talking it over with her mom, Luisa puts on her boots, tells her jokes, and raises her hand. She realizes, "The more I act like I don't care what she says, the more I really don't care." This book, with its scrawling ink art highlighted with pops of color, does some things very well, especially dealing with the feelings of someone who is not so much bullied in the classical sense, but is bewildered and losing confidence because she thinks she needs to please others. (The book does call this bullying). There's plenty of backmatter: Luisa's notes offer advice; Sam's notes gets into the bully's head; and there are tips, some more useful than others, on how to join the "Confidence Club." A good discussion starter. - Booklist

"The Weird series is a delightful three-part story that explores the roles of the bully, the bullied, and the bystander and how children can break out of those roles and be their unique, caring selves. Not only for kids, this series is a must for parents, educators, and caregivers who want to help children end the cycle of cruelty." -Barbara Coloroso, author of The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander

"The wonderful books in the Weird series are great resources to help build young children's social skills to address and prevent bullying." -Trudy Ludwig, children's advocate and best-selling author of Confessions of a Former Bully

"The Weird series encourages children that are being bullied to stand up for themselves . . . bystanders to act when they see something bad happening . . . [and] children who are bullying others to reassess their actions and motivations." - The Children's Book Review

A real rarity in the character education genre."- Green Bay Press Gazette

"An excellent tool for teaching school-age children good mental health techniques to survive and grow beyond bullying."- Midwest Book Review: Children's Bookwatch, Reviewer's Choice

From funny to sweet, silly to sincere, the lyrics of Mister Rogers explore such universal topics as feelings, new siblings, everyday life, imagination, and more. Through these songs—as well as endearing puppets and honest conversations—Mister Rogers instilled in his young viewers the values of kindness, self-awareness, and self-esteem. But most of all, he taught children that they are loved, just as they are. Perfect for bedtime, sing-along, or quiet time alone, this beautiful book of meaningful poetry is for every child—including the child inside of every one of us.
For ages 6-8 yrs old

"This spectacular book is going to inspire future generations of problem solvers and dreamers, whether it is to venture back into space or to look more closely at the seemingly overwhelming challenges we confront right here on earth. Nothing short of stunning!"
DAVID MACAULAY ,
Caldecott Medal winner and co-creator of the New York Times bestseller The Way Things Work.

"As an astronaut during the Space Shuttle and International Space Station eras, I stood on the shoulders of these innovating pioneers. This "The extraordinary passion, ingenuity, and persistence of the 400,000 people who turned an 'impossible' dream into reality leaps off every page of John Rocco's fascinating book illuminates the hard work and risks taken in service of one of the crowning achievements of our history in space."
SCOTT KELLY ,
Former NASA astronaut and commander of the International Space Station

beautifully illustrated, thoroughly researched, and lucidly written book." ANDREW CHAIKIN ,
Author of A Man on the Moon: The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts

"" Rocco tells the story of the Apollo missions with the eye of an artist, the logic of an engineer, and the enthusiasm of a kid taking apart household appliances to see how they work."
BRIAN FLOCA
Author of Moonshot: The Flight of Apollo 11

​Rocco has created an astonishing masterpiece in his illustrated guide to how America made it to the Moon in the 1960s. I'm not aware of another book with such an in-depth look at the technological and human marvels of the Apollo program. It's a remarkable book."
JONATHAN H. WARD
Author of Rocket Ranch, Countdown to a Moon Launch, and co-author of Bringing Columbia Home

" Extraordinary! Both young and old and future generations alike, will be able to visualize and grasp the complex and amazing venture to land a man on the Moon. How We Got To The Moon should be in every library and school curriculum."
JOHN WOLFRAM
Navy Frogman-Apollo 11 Rescue Team

" How We Got To The Moon is for everyone, the thousands on the firing line, those who developed the tools and the dreamers who wrote the books on how it could be done. Rocco's art is better than the thousands of pictures of the events because it is personal. It captures the time and the people not just for my generation but for all generations to come. "

Former Flight Director, NASA

"Documentary Film Director, " A stunningly beautiful work! John Rocco's extraordinary book How We Got to the Moon is one of the most well-researched, informative, and creative endeavors that I've come across on the Apollo project. His contribution will stand the test of time. It should be at the top of everyone's list - young and old alike."
TODD DOUGLAS MILLER
Apollo 11
This is a marvelous, illustrated telling of the Apollo story - a perfect introduction to the fun and excitement of tackling an engineering challenge that may at first seem impossible."

Apollo Software Engineer and author of Sunburst and Luminary: An Apollo Memoir

" How We Got to the Moon is a masterpiece that everyone with an interest in Space, science or engineering will want in their collection."
STEPHEN COESTER
Saturn V Propellants Test and Launch Engineer

"Rocco has created an extraordinary and carefully researched real story of what it was like for us working stiffs during the Apollo Program."
J. HARVEY LeBLANC
Saturn V S-II Design Engineer

"With his striking illustrations and engaging storytelling, John Rocco truly captures the excitement, experimentation and ingenuity it took for us to put a man on the moon. I am sure this book will inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists to explore the unknown and chase the 'impossible', just like we did."
ANN D. MONTGOMERY
Apollo Flight Crew Equipment Engineer

"John Rocco has presented the Apollo program in a most delightful way-it is perfect for anyone who not only wants insights into the technical story, but also the people and the larger meaning of the program. Even after working the Apollo program for 13 years, I learned a lot from this wonderful book. I have read many, many books on Apollo-but this is my favorite."
CHARLES H. LOWRY
Engineering Manager, Rockwell International

Alice always thought fairy tales had happy endings. That—along with everything else—changed the day she met her first fairy.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Alice always thought fairy tales had happy endings. That-along with everything else-changed the day she met her first fairy...

When Alice's father goes down in a shipwreck, she is sent to live with her uncle Geryon-an uncle she's never heard of and knows nothing about. He lives in an enormous manor with a massive library that is off-limits to Alice. But then she meets a talking cat. And even for a rule-follower, when a talking cat sneaks you into a forbidden library and introduces you to an arrogant boy who dares you to open a book, it's hard to resist. Especially if you're a reader to begin with. Soon Alice finds herself INSIDE the book, and the only way out is to defeat the creature imprisoned within.

It seems her uncle is more than he says he is. But then so is Alice.
(Middle-Grade Fantasy)

"I was attracted by the cover, which is a work of art, and as I started to read, I was enthralled... very quickly. My initial reaction was that this owes a little to A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS and the SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES, but as I got further into the story, I realised that it owes nothing to either of those series, but possibly finds its origins in the children's adventure stories of a previous century - not Narnia, and not Alice, but something at the back of my mind that I simply can't place, and I have to say, therefore, that it is entirely original. And brilliantly done - this is a package, which means that it is not only a rattlingly brilliant story, it is also a story that's given special treatment in terms of its printing and binding, and to cap it all, it contains superb illustrations by the outstanding David Wyatt, whose talents I am familiar with from his illustrations for Lord of the Rings. This is a brilliant story, and Django Wexler is a name to remember - as if you could forget it!"

-Books Monthly (Children's Book of the Month, 4/14)

"The plot also had enough mystery to keep me constantly guessing; I could never be sure what everybody's motives were. I felt for Alice and her predicament of being suddenly thrust into a strange environment where she couldn't trust anyone, though she was far from helpless and I'm sure she had no need for anyone's sympathy. Courageous and headstrong, Alice is a good role model for young readers, being a take-charge kind of girl who doesn't take obstacles or setbacks lying down."

Camellia's adopted mother wants Cam to grow up to be just like her. Problem is, Mom's a seriously wicked witch

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The hilarious new YA from acclaimed author Tina Connolly.

Camellia's adopted mother wants Cam to grow up to be just like her. Problem is, Mom's a seriously wicked witch.

Savvy Cam has tons of practice thwarting the witch's crazy schemes. But when the witch summons a demon to control the city, he gets loose—and into the cute new boy in Tenth Grade. Now Cam's determined to stop the demon before he destroys the new boy's soul. Which means she might have to try a spell of her own. But if she's willing to work spells like the witch. . .will it mean she's wicked too? With the demon squashing pixies, girls becoming zombies, and the school one spell away from exploding in phoenix flame, Cam has to realize that wicked doesn't lie in your abilities, but in your choices.

About the Author

TINA CONNOLLY lives with her family in Portland, Oregon, in a house that came with a dragon in the basement and blackberry vines in the attic. Her stories have appeared all over, including in Strange Horizons, Lightspeed, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies. She is a frequent reader for Podcastle, and narrates the Parsec-winning flash fiction podcast Toasted Cake. In the summer she works as a face painter, which means a glitter-filled house is an occupational hazard.

Editorial Reviews

This is an astonishing book: an evocative re-imagination of Jane Eyre that concerns itself with beauty, love, and social upheaval. This lyrical and utterly marvelous debut is one of the standout books of the year." — RT Book Reviews, 4 ½ Stars, Top Pick! on Ironskin

"Connolly has created a complex and well-drawn world here, and the story is indeed an original and imaginative take on the gothic-fiction tradition. An intriguing and ambitious fantasy tale." — Kirkus Reviews on Ironskin

"All the romance, mystery, and horror that a good gothic story needs." — Portland Monthly on Ironskin

"Jane is ferocious and splendid; the hero is tormented and tragic. Tina Connolly has crafted a steampunk Beauty and the Beast tale, beautifully and cleverly reversed. Don't miss this debut." — Ann Aguirre, national bestselling author of Enclave, on Ironskin

"A lyrical, beautifully crafted debut. A haunting exploration of the true price one must pay for magic, beauty, and love, Ironskin will stay with me for a long time to come." — M.K. Hobson, author of The Native Star, on Ironskin

"Clever and romantic at the same time—no mean feat. A magical and entertaining waltz across the fairy forests and dark moors just a sideways step or two from Haworth Parsonage." — Ian R. MacLeod, author of Wake Up and Dream, on Ironskin

Poetry can have both a rhyme and a rhythm. Sometimes it is obvious; sometimes it is hidden. But either way, make no mistake, poetry is as vibrant and exciting as it gets. And when you find yourself clapping your hands or tapping your feet, you know you've found poetry with a beat!

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND INCLUDED IN THE BOOKLIST TOP 10 ART BOOKS FOR YOUTH! Perfect for fans of A B to Jay-Z and Nikki Giovanni who are seeking modern hip hop poetry books for kids.
Our consensus is Hip Hop Speaks to Children is the most essential poetry purchase to make this year.
The poetry is enough.
The illustrations are enough.
The CD is enough.
Together, this book is a treasure of which you cannot get enough.
We shall accomplish much this year. Children will be encouraged to put their words to poetry and beats. Teachers will be encouraged to allow the artists to speak to children.
―Diane Chen, School Library Journal blog "Practically Paradise"

MORE PRAISE FOR HIP HOP SPEAKS TO CHILDREN
"With its archival recordings of poems read by the poets themselves, [ Hip Hop] reminds everyone that poetry springs from an oral tradition."― Publishers Weekly

"This is the way to get children interested in reading and loving poetry. ... A great book for both teachers and parents." ― Valerie Lewis, owner of Hicklebee's children's bookstore

"The poems, the artwork, the CD...all complement each other to create a wonderful experience." ―Becky Laney, Becky Laney's Books blog

"Love this book. I think it is a K-8 must-have for classrooms and libraries. Like I said it is packed and it may be (at first) intimidating to young readers. But, once they hear some of the audio, spend time with the illustrations, and experience some of the poetry, I think it will become a favorite." ―Franki Sibberson, A Year of Reading blog

"Hip Hop Speaks to Children is a wonderfully composed collection of poems from writers like Eloise Greenfield to late rapper and poet, Tupac Shakur. ... Whether you read poetry or you hear it in a rap song, Giovanni's genius endeavor will inspire children of all ages to have fun while listening to poetry. Rap is poetry, right?" ―Amy Bowllan, Amy Bowllan's Blog (a School Library Journal Blog)

" I highly recommend this one for all collections. If the title didn't include the word "children" it'd be an excellent book all the way to high school. My coworkers and I are already talking about doing a Hip Hop poetry story time for our elementary school kids." ―Jennifer Rothschild, Biblio File blog

"Family isn't always your relatives. It's the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what." -Unknown
