An award-winning picture book about resilience, self-esteem, and
the power of talking about emotions Lili Macaroni loves drawing
butterflies, counting the stars, and being exactly who she is-Lili
Macaroni. That is, until she starts kindergarten. There her
classmates tell her that her hair is like a pumpkin, her eyes are
squinty blueberries, and her laugh is like a parrot's squawk. She
has never felt such unhappiness before. It makes her want to erase
herself and draw a brand-new Lili. Then she reconsiders. Does she
really want to erase her hair that's just like Mom's? Her eyes just
like Grandma's? Her Grandpa's infectious laugh? With her parents'
help, she creates a polka-dotted butterfly to wear at her collar,
publicly announcing her own resilience and symbolically letting her
sorrows be flown away. And when she explains the butterfly to her
classmates, Lili discovers she has begun a powerful conversation,
and that everyone has some trouble to be carried away on butterfly
wings. In this accessible exploration of emotions and self-esteem,
Nicole Testa and Annie Boulanger create a relatable heroine with
inborn ingenuity and warm family support.

kindness You can choose to make the world a better place. The power

hopes and dreams - but there's one thing that can unite us and make
the world a better place, and that's KINDNESS! Kindness is cool!
No, really! Kindness can create positive change in all our lives.

we can be our best selves. Be the Change: Be Kind is your handbook
on how to use your own voice to empower yourself and others to
spread kindness. Award-winning children's author Marcus Sedgwick
tells the story of kindness - where it comes from, what it feels
like and perhaps most importantly why it matters - and asks YOU
what you would do in different everyday scenarios. ARE YOU READY TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
This book was written in Sanscrit and provides a fascinating
insight into a culture far removed from our own. Revealed is an
ancient philosophy on love and how to treat women, both out of and
in the bedroom. The book is of course most well known as a manual
on how to reach a higher level of pleasure in one's sexual
experience. The text was written by Vatsyana, who was and is
renowned as the chief authority on Hindu erotic literature - Kama
Sutra is literally translated as "Aphorisms on Love." Note - this
version of the book is without illustrations.

About one in three American children is either overweight or obese.
Childhood obesity is a crisis robbing youth of health and energy,
and even causing children to die prematurely. Obesity among
children, which is likely to carry over to adulthood, is also
linked to a greater risk of high cholesterol, diabetes, early heart
disease, and high blood pressure.
"New Prescription for Childhood Obesity" provides an innovative
approach to fighting childhood obesity. The traditional method for
weight loss and fat reduction has been to eat less and exercise
more, but this does not work over the long haul. To lose weight and
keep it off requires addressing the root cause of the problem:
insulin resistance and the low-grade silent inflammation that is
triggered by many factors, including foods and environmental causes
such as pesticides, industrial pollutants, and toxins.
Now parents have an opportunity to change their child's eating
and physical activity habits even before a weight problem develops.
Complete with recipes to get you on the right track, this essential
guide provides specific and simple strategies, techniques, and
skills that will enable children to eat the right amount of food
appropriate for their level of physical activity without
dieting.
