Engrossing true stories of the pioneers of epidemiology who risked
their lives to find the source of deadly diseases-now revised to
include updated information and a new chapter on Covid-19. More
people have died in disease epidemics than in wars or other
disasters, but the process of identifying these diseases and
determining how they spread is often a terrifying gamble.
Epidemiologists have been ignored, mocked, or silenced all while
trying to protect the population and identify "patient zero"-the
first person to have contracted the disease, and a key piece in
solving the epidemic puzzle. Patient Zero tracks the gripping tales
of eight epidemics and pandemics-how they started, how they spread,
and the fight to stop them. This revised edition combines a
brand-new design with updated information and features diseases
such as Spanish Influenza, Ebola, and AIDS, as well as a new
chapter on Covid-19.

Margaret shares her secrets and her spirituality in this iconic
Judy Blume novel, beloved by millions, that now has a fresh new
look.
Margaret Simon, almost twelve, likes long hair, tuna fish, the
smell of rain, and things that are pink. She's just moved from New
York City to Farbook, New Jersey, and is anxious to fit in with her
new friends--Nancy, Gretchen, and Janie. When they form a secret
club to talk about private subjects like boys, bras, and getting
their first periods, Margaret is happy to belong.
But none of them can believe Margaret doesn't have religion, and
that she isn't going to the Y or the Jewish Community Center. What
they don't know is Margaret has her own very special relationship
with God. She can talk to God about everything--family, friends,
even Moose Freed, her secret crush.
Margaret is funny and real, and her thoughts and feelings are
oh-so-relatable--you'll feel like she's talking right to you,
sharing her secrets with a friend.
- Inspires conversation & confidence
- Entertains with rhyming & humor

Does your little one have an appointment for a checkup, a dental
cleaning, or an eye exam? Knowing what to expect is the key to
confidence! This encouraging, reassuring book will help start the
conversation.
Culinary delights abound, romance lingers in the air, and plans go
terribly, wonderfully astray in this gender-bent take on My Fair
Lady from Jennieke Cohen, author of Dangerous Alliance-perfect for
fans of Bridgerton or A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue. It's
1830s England, and Culinarians-doyens who consult with society's
elite to create gorgeous food and confections-are the creme de la
creme of high society. Helena Higgins, top of her class at the
Royal Academy, has a sharp demeanor and an even sharper palate-and
knows stardom awaits her if she can produce greatness in her final
year. Penelope Pickering is going to prove the value of
non-European cuisine to all of England. Her contemporaries may
scorn her Filipina heritage and her dishes, but with her flawless
social graces and culinary talents, Penelope is set to prove them
wrong. Elijah Little has nothing to his name but a truly excellent
instinct for flavors. London merchants won't allow a Jewish boy to
own a shop, so he hawks his pasties for a shilling a piece to
passersby-but he knows with training he can break into the highest
echelon of society. When Penelope and Helena meet Elijah, a golden
opportunity arises: to pull off a project never seen before, and
turn Elijah from a street vendor to a gentleman chef. But Elijah's
transformation will have a greater impact on this trio than they
originally realize-and mayhem, unseemly faux pas, and a little
romance will all be a part of the delicious recipe.
Harriet Ziefert's books on being a grandparent have been strong
sellers for years ("That's What Grandmas/Grandpas Are For," "41
Uses for a Grandma," "40 Uses for a Grandpa," to name a few). This
fresh take on the subject will appeal both to grandmothers and
their grandchildren.
This book supports those training to work with young children to
explore the many factors that impact on child health and wellbeing.
Health is a concept that is often taken for granted in young
children. If a child is physically active, appears well and is
succeeding in learning, it is assumed that all is well. The growing
statistics of child mental health issues tell a different story, as
do the statistics for childhood obesity and the increasing number
of physical health issues in childhood. This book explores and
evaluates the strategies currently used in Britain to tackle this
escalating situation and asks - what more is needed? The global
pandemic has created a large increase in all childhood issues - the
scale of which is yet to be ascertained. Supporting healthy
childhoods has always been, and always will be, a constantly
evolving agenda. What supported children 10 years ago may no longer
be relevant in today's society.
Inside Out and Back Again is a New York Times bestseller, a Newbery
Honor Book, and a winner of the National Book Award Inspired by the
author's childhood experience of fleeing Vietnam after the Fall of
Saigon and immigrating to Alabama, this coming-of-age debut novel
told in verse has been celebrated for its touching child's-eye view
of family and immigration.Ha has only ever known Saigon: the
thrills of its markets, the joy of its traditions, and the warmth
of her friends close by. But now the Vietnam War has reached her
home. Ha and her family are forced to flee as Saigon falls, and
they board a ship headed toward hope--toward America. This moving
story of one girl's year of change, dreams, grief, and healing
received four starred reviews, including one from Kirkus which
proclaimed it enlightening, poignant, and unexpectedly funny. An
author's note explains how and why Thanhha Lai translated her
personal experiences into Ha's story. This paperback edition also
includes an interview with the author, an activity you can do with
your family, tips on writing poetry, and discussion
questions.Supports the Common Core State Standards

Take a look at a burger, peer at a pizza and sniff at your
sandwich. Do you what know what's inside? Do you know what your
food is made of and where it comes from? Let's deconstruct dishes,
break them down and slice them up to find out what they're made of
and if they're good for us!
Boys need to know that prince charmings and brave hunters are not the only role-models
In fact, a whole lot of them out there don't identify with the idea of being a strong, independent, competitive saviour who never cries. As a boy, there is an assumption that you will conform to this stereotypical idea of masculinity, but what if you're the introvert kind, what if you prefer to pick up a book rather than a sword, what if you're very sensitive, what if you like the idea of wearing a dress?
As statistics keep showing that there is an ongoing crisis with regards to young men and mental health, with unhelpful gender stereotypes contributing to this malaise, Stories for Boys Who Dare To Be Different offers a welcome alternative narrative. It is an extraordinary compilation of 100 stories of famous and not-so-famous men from the past to the present day, every single one of them a rule-breaker and innovator in his own way, and all going on to achieve amazing things. Entries include Frank Ocean, Salvador Dali, Rimbaud, Beethoven, Barack Obama, Ai Weiwei and Jesse Owens - different sorts of heroes from all walks of life and from all over the world.
A beautiful and transporting book packed with stories of adventure and wonderment, it will appeal to those who need the courage to reject peer pressure and go against the grain. It will educate and entertain, while also encourage and inspire.

A beautifully illustrated novel in verse about a young Indian girl
who tackles the taboos around sanitation in her village. In
Latika's village in rural India, there are no toilets. No toilets
mean that the women have to wait until night to do their business
in a field. There are scorpions and snakes in the field, and germs
that make people sick. For the girls in the village, no toilets
mean leaving school when they reach puberty. No one in the village
wants to talk about this shameful problem. But Latika has had
enough. When a government representative visits their village, she
sees her chance to make one of her dreams come true: the
construction of public toilets, which would be safer for everybody
in her village. Burying the Moon shines a light on how a lack of
access to sanitation facilities affects girls and women in many
parts of the world. Key Text Features author's note illustrations
