Making Memories

In a world where children are increasingly attached to their screens, and their memories often are only held digitally, this ebook offers a creative analogue solution. It is a fun how-to e-guide to engaging with the world around us through mindfulness activities and journaling tips. Little ones are taken through activities, from physical and mental exercises to crafting and writing tasks, which teach them to value the little things in their lives. They learn crafts to calm a busy mind, discover Buddhist meditation, and explore the outdoors mindfully. Some activities encourage kids to create something physical to remember special events, friends, or holidays, so memories aren't restricted to pictures on a screen. Each activity and thought encourages a sense of calm or wellbeing, which helps children to live in the moment and make memories in the real world. The ebook features an environmental awareness, too, with activities encouraging sustainability and recycling. Beautiful, soothing colours and a fun scrapbook aesthetic combine to make a how-to e-guide to cherish.

The Kitchen God's Wife

A stunning reissue of the international bestseller, from the much-loved author of The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter's Daughter. Pearl Louie Brandt has a terrible secret which she tries desperately to keep from her mother, Winne Louie. And Winnie has long kept her own secrets -- about her past and the confusing circumstances of Pearl's birth. Fate intervenes in the form of Helen Kwong, Winnie's so-called sister-in-law, who believes she is dying and must unburden herself of all falsehoods before she flies off to heaven. But, unfortunately, the truth comes in many guises, depending on who is telling the tale. . . Thus begins a story that takes us back to Shanghai in the 1920s, through World War II, and the harrowing events that led to Winnie's arrival in America in 1949. The story is one of innocence and its loss, tragedy and survival and, most of all, the enduring qualities of hope, love and friendship.
