How to Have Happy Children
We're constantly bombarded with advice - and criticism - on how to be good parents. From the press, social media and online influencers right through to our friends and family, it seems everyone has an opinion on what is the right - and wrong - way to raise a child. Bottom line is, it's not easy. But whilst our little ones aren't born with a manual, this pocket book is just the one you need. How to Have Happy Children combines up-to-date academic research and straight-forward, sensible advice into ten bite-sized chapters - the Ten Commandments of Parenting. The vision is simple: to raise children who are comfortable with who they are, and pleased with how they're bought up. The goal is simple: use these golden nuggets to empower your decision-making, and trust your own judgement.
Secular Days, Sacred Moments
No writer or public intellectual of our era has been as sensitive to the role of faith in the lives of ordinary Americans as Robert Coles. Though not religious in the conventional sense, Coles is unparalleled in his astute understanding and respect for the relationship between secular life and sacredness, which cuts across his large body of work. Drawing inspiration from figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Dorothy Day, and Simone Weil, Coles’s extensive writings explore the tug of war between faith and doubt. As Coles himself admits, the “back-and-forthness between faith and doubt is the story of my life.” These thirty-one thought-provoking essays are drawn from Coles’s weekly column i...
The Reading for Real Handbook
The Reading for Real Handbook was very well received by both teachers and literacy specialists when it was published in 1992. Since its first publication there have been significant changes in the field of 'reading', not least of which has been governmental demands for higher standards in reading and the resultant National Literacy Strategy (NLS). As well as providing invaluable help for teachers struggling with the National Literacy Strategy and the Literacy Hour, several other new topics of interest are also addressed, including teaching fiction/non-fiction inside and outside the Literacy Hour, integrating reading, writing and spelling work, involving parents, assessment and working with slower readers.
Billy Winter - Into the Snow and Ice
Not many boys have to go in search of their missing father, but Billy Winter does. Billy steals aboard a cargo ship heading north to Alaska where his father was last seen. On the ship he is befriended by Sergeant Le Bulle, an off-duty Alaskan state trooper. In Alaska they set off on sleds pulled by huskies and meet Amka, an Inuit woman who is searching for her son who has also gone missing. The three decide to work together to solve the mystery of the missing men. But why is someone trying to kill them all? And why do Sergeant Le Bulle and Amka abandon Billy? Very few could survive alone in Alaska but Billy Winter must. This is his story.

The Madness of Grief
The #2 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER from the author of MURDER BEFORE EVENSONG 'Immensely moving and disarmingly witty' Nigella Lawson 'Such a moving, tough, funny, raw, honest read' Matt Haig 'Beautifully written, moving and gut-wrenching, but also at times very funny' Ian Rankin 'Captures brilliantly, beautifully, bravely the comedy as well as the tragedy of bereavement' The Times 'Will strike a chord with anyone who has grieved' Independent When the Reverend Richard Coles's partner died suddenly, shortly before Christmas in 2019, what came next took Richard by surprise. Despite his years of experience assisting his parishioners in examining life's moral questions, Richard now found he needed guidance himself. Much about grief was unexpected: the volume of 'sadmin' that must be undertaken, how much harder it is travelling solo for work, the pain of typing a text message to your partner - then remembering they are gone. This deeply personal account of life after grief will resonate, unforgettably, long after the final page has been turned.
