Tongue Twisters and Beyond: Words At Play Book
This word play book, comprised of many different and unusual types of word games including tongue (brain) twisters and spoonerisms, has several key goals. First, this book is intended to provide fun for all who use it, children and adults alike. Operating off the principle, Laugh2Learn, this book enables users to see the many ways in which words can be animated while at home, in school, on car trips, or in doctor's offices. Second, this book can be used by parents and teachers to help children navigate difficult times including school closures and other debilitating events. When other learning is stalled or children can't concentrate well if at all, they can try a tongue twister; it will provide laughter and levity and learning all at once. This right priced book will also animate the trauma responsive strategies of the best selling new adult release, Trauma Doesn't Stop at the School Door (Teachers College Press, 2020). Try it; you and your children/students will like it.
Teach Our Children Well
The post-Inaugural Women's March on January 21, 2017 was, in a word, remarkable. Across the globe, millions of people gathered to share their concerns about how our world was changing and how the values we hold dear were being threatened. One of the striking features of the marches, in addition to the absence of violence and the presence of men and women and children of all ages and stages, of all races and ethnicities, were the signs. These signs -- as varied as the marchers themselves -- messaged loudly and clearly. The signs spoke to the concerns we confront and the pressing need to speak up and out. But, the signs also were a message to and for our children and our children's children -- we need to insure that they inherit a world of which we can be proud and in which they can exist with decency and respect and grace. The people at the marches -- many with children or grandchildren in tow -- were signaling to the world: let's teach our children well. That is our responsibility. That is our charge. That is our obligation.

Breakaway Learners
Explores how institutions of higher education can successfully serve ""breakaway"" students - first-generation, low-income students who are trying to break away from the past in order to create a more secure future. In this provocative book, Gross offers a new approach to addressing inequities by focusing on students who have succeeded despite struggling with the impacts of poverty and trauma.
Trauma Doesn't Stop at the School Door
This book explores how educational institutions have failed to recognize and effectively address the symptoms of trauma in students of all ages. Given the prevalence of traumatic events in our world, including the COVID-19 pandemic, Gross argues that it is time for educational institutions and those who work within them to change their approaches and responses to traumatic symptoms that manifest in students in schools and colleges. These changes can alter how and what we teach, how we train teachers, how we structure our calendars and create our schedules, how we address student behavior and disciplinary issues, and how we design our physical space. Drawing on real-life examples and scenario...
Flying Umbrellas & Red Boats: Children's Poetry and Activities
This book was written to encourage a love of poetry in children (and their adult reading partners). The book promotes the realization that poems can be filled with humor, multiple meanings and reflect real life experiences through the lens of words and word play. The activities accompanying the poetry are designed to encourage imagination and creativity and add fun to the reading of poems. The examples provided are of activities that can be done at home or school. New activities can be invented too. These poems are meant to be read out loud. Their cadence is catchy and children can remember key words and phrases after one or two readings -- read to them of course with a sense of drama and animated expression. Families can read aloud together -- laughing and explaining as they go.
Are You a Giraffe
A prequel to the Lady Lucy series, youngsters are introduced to Lucy and some of her animal friends. In this book, she goes in search of a giraffe, one animal she has never seen. Through simple word use, repetition, and hide-and-seek, this book will become a favorite. Importantly, too, the story messages the importance of respecting diversity at all levels.
