Courage, Every Day
One girl's tummy flutters with butterflies. "Have courage," says Papa. But, she wonders, what exactly is courage? Papa lets her know that courage is the big, heroic feats--as well as the smaller everyday choices we make. With comforting, lyrical text, this story shows young readers that they too can be courageous every single day. Backmatter includes a note for parents on helping children develop their own sense of courage.
I Love Myself
"I'm still learning to love myself, but it's okay. I know I can always keep trying." Even an ordinary day is full of little challenges, especially when you're a kid. Like when you're learning to ride a bike and you still need training wheels...so the other kids ride past you. Or when you jump in a mud puddle...but you fall in and get your pants wet. Luckily you can learn to be kind to yourself with a bit of practice. In this sweet picture book we accompany a child through their day, from morning to bedtime, as their inner self—portrayed as a cuddly imaginary creature—supports them in their endeavors. Some are harder than others, but the positive message of the text highlights how you can love yourself through big feelings, try something different, say no, and so much more.

The Life and Work of Teachers
Contributors from around the world tackle the factors that have the greatest impact on creating quality learning opportunities for students: namely policy, school leadership and teaching/teachers' lives. Drawing on a range of critical conceptual and empirical perspectives, the contributions illustrate the extent to which experience can be similar around the world. The book sheds much-needed light on the effects of mandated change upon school leaders and teachers, both nationally and internationally. It also demonstrates how teachers have coped or flourished, both because and in spite of the changing circumstances they work under.
Mama's Special Wonton Soup
One day in a village in Southern China, a young girl leaves her mama's house to buy ingredients for wonton soup. On the way to the market, she meets a wonderful array of characters going about their daily lives.

As the girl greets each of them with "Zǎo ān," and thanks them with "Xiè xiè," they gift her with something special for her mama's cooking pot, so by the time the little girl reaches home, she has more food than they could possibly eat. What should the two of them do now? A charming story of cooking, sharing, and peaceful rural life that soothes the soul in today's fast-paced, high-tech world.

Spinegrinder
First came video and more recently high definition home entertainment, through to the internet with its streaming videos and not strictly legal peer-to-peer capabilities. With so many sources available, today’s fan of horror and exploitation movies isn’t necessarily educated on paths well-trodden — Universal classics, 1950s monster movies, Hammer — as once they were. They may not even be born and bred on DAWN OF THE DEAD. In fact, anyone with a bit of technical savvy (quickly becoming second nature for the born-clicking generation) may be viewing MYSTICS IN BALI and S.S. EXPERIMENT CAMP long before ever hearing of Bela Lugosi or watching a movie directed by Dario Argento. In this world, H.G. Lewis, so-called “godfather of gore,” carries the same stripes as Alfred Hitchcock, “master of suspense.” SPINEGRINDER is one man’s ambitious, exhaustive and utterly obsessive attempt to make sense of over a century of exploitation and cult cinema, of a sort that most critics won’t care to write about. One opinion; 8,000 reviews (or thereabouts.
