Meet Anna Wood, an eight-year-old girl living on a farm in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon. She loves all the animals on the farm, but she has a special fascination for the hens and their chicks. There is one hen in particular, Old Fussy Hen, that Anna is afraid of. She wants to hold a chick badly enough to make a decision that alters her life and the life of a chick. She finds herself lying when she knows she should tell the truth. This early chapter book, Anna's Decision, shows how making unwise, spur-of-the-moment decisions can change someones life. It portrays a family working together to encourage Anna through problem-solving, love, and understanding. Anna learns that telling the truth is the only way to go. She finds out that God performs miracles and works all things together for good to those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
For all of my days, I have dreamed of becoming an author; of writing remarkable stories about love, passion and adventure. I imagined frigid, winter evenings nestled in my favorite leather chair, snuggled inside of my mother's frayed but cozy, flannel blanket. Watching the snowflakes dance outside my window, with the moon shining just bright enough to make them sparkle and shine, I would write my stories and be at peace. With the publication of this book, my dream has become a reality. My heart beats wildly at the thought of each book venturing out into the unknown to find its way into your hands, someone who will give it life as the first page is turned. I can only hope you will delight in ...

This book is a must-have resource for all special educators and general educators who work with students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The strategies and teaching techniques discussed here are those that have shown great promise in helping students with ASD to succeed. The underlying premise is that students with ASD should be explicitly taught a full range of social, self-help, language, reading, writing and math skills, as are their typically developing classmates. Each chapter provides teachers with practical information about how to approach the tasks of determining what to teach and how to teach, with clearly defined steps for implementation. The approaches described here are based on the view that the classroom must be structured as an environment that reflects high expectations and provides sufficient support from teaching staff and peers. This invaluable volume offers teachers state-of-the-art knowledge on how to help students with ASD succeed.
