Despite her best efforts, Livi Starling will probably never make the history books. Her life is far too ordinary. Unless you count her talent for animal noises, her inability to tell the truth, her insatiable desire for a mother, or the fact that her only friend is a painfully shy Jesus-Freak who collects banana stickers. Having been brought up in the sleepy countryside by her older sister, Livi is endlessly curious about the great life she could have had and takes no time in reinventing herself upon their arrival in a new city. However, her quest for greatness is about to be disrupted by two small things: Her father is just around the corner. She is not who she thinks she is.

What if all you had to do was give your worries to The Worry Jar ™ and you could work through anything?  In this book, Michelle teaches our youngest children a strategy to handle their fear, insecurity, and anxiety.  The fun loving character, The Worry Jar, will encourage them while using fun, repetitive words as a reminder the worry is in the jar. When you write down your worry and put it in The Worry Jar ™, you don’t have to think about it.  However, when the worry pops back into your head, say the words “Worries, worries in the jar, I can!”       The Worry Jar is quickly becoming a popular read with parents and teachers. Michelle has a PhD in Education and has taught for 20 years at both the elementary and college levels. She has successfully used worry jars with children and adults. The first worry jar was given to a boy named Aaron in Dr. White's class in 2000. He successfully implemented it into his routine. In 2001, Dr. White was in an accident leaving her paralyzed from the chest down. Aaron knew he could help his teacher by sending her a special worry jar to use while she started her long road to recovery.     Other books by Michelle include New Opportunities, Scubability, and award winning, Go Away Worries! Put Then in The Worry Jar.

WAIT FOR ME! WOULD YOU MIND? is the second installment of a series on body, mind, and soul, called Kids’ Questions about Life. It is an educational book written in simple language for parents, teachers, and kids who are pondering the deeper, more complex but yet so essential issues of life: an early introduction to who we are and how the mind works.Explaining the complexity of the human mind to children can be quite challenging. Abstract concepts, thoughts, ideas, imagination, focus, and attention are made more tangible and easily understandable through a family of bears. As the bear cubs ask questions, Mommy Bear and Daddy Bear seek to answer their little ones with simplicity and honesty.The awareness that we perceive the world through our limited senses and that there is more out there than what we initially think helps broaden our horizons and open us up to a greater reality. Knowing about the mind’s way of thinking and becoming aware of the presence of more than we perceive is essential. The mind becomes our tool rather than our identity. We become more capable of distancing ourselves, of choosing what we want to believe and what kind of information to feed our minds. 

Even though it is a beautiful sunny day, the children sit listless in front of the television with no energy.

Chomp the Chimpanzee is set in beautiful watercolor scenes using anapestic tetrameter rhyme making the concept of nutrition a fun melody to read aloud while teaching health and science. Written in response to the health care crisis and as a children’s companion to the adult book, “Evolve,” this book will help children change the way they eat and support families in their evolution of nutrition.

A Salem les coses han canviat. I molt. El reportatge sobre els MAC ha obert la caixa dels trons, i sembla que als normis no els fa cap gràcia saber que els tenen de veïns. Així que, si no volen problemes, hauran de tocar el dos. Però no tothom hi està d'acord: alguns pensen que ha arribat el moment de reivindicar els seus drets.Els ànims encara compliquen més les coses: la Clawdeen no es resigna a que la família la consideri una nena, la Melody no pot suportar la desaparició del Jackson ni pensar que els seus pares li han estat amagant un gran secret i la Frankie està convençuda que en Brett l'ha traït...

Amanece en la granja de Federico Feliciano de la Feria, un hombre feliz, que se levantaba cada mañana a dar de comer a sus animales. Sin embargo, Federico no sospecha lo que ocurre cada noche, lo revolucionados que están sus animales y los deseos que piden a la luna. ¡Si él supiera?! Divertida narración, en la que la aceptación y superación personal son el principal mensaje. La autora ha articulado un texto de aparente sencillez, pero muy elaborado, de manera que el niño podrá utilizarlo no sólo para dar un repaso y aprender las características de un nutrido grupo de animales que puede encontrar en una granja, sino que, además, podrá hacerlo jugando a las adivinanzas y aprendiendo divertidas y musicales rimas. Por otro lado, la ilustración, muy colorista e infantil, redondea un resultado, desde su concepción, inteligente y original.
