A fresh and fun teen romance starring a girl with cerebral palsy,
and a boy with severe anxiety. Noah, a cello prodigy from a long
line of musicians, wants to stick to tradition. Daisy, a fiercely
independent disabled violinist, is used to fighting for what she
wants and likes to take risks. But the two surprise each other when
they play. They fall perfectly in tune. After their performance
goes viral, the rest of the country falls for them just as surely
as they're falling for each other. But viral fame isn't all it's
cracked up to be. No one seems to care about their talent or their
music at all. People have rewritten their love story into one where
Daisy is an inspiration for overcoming her cerebral palsy and Noah
is a saint for seeing past it. Daisy is tired of her disability
being the only thing people see about her, and all of the attention
sends Noah's anxiety disorder into high speed. They can see their
dream of going to Julliard coming closer than it's ever been
before. But is the cost suddenly too high?An #own-voices romance

your days squabbling, eating and planning adventures. Oh, and
Wrecklings also carry out wreckings, which is how we got our name .
. . Washed up as a baby beside a remote lighthouse and raised by a
mermaid, Alpha Lux was the first foundling at Haven Point. Now the
lighthouse is a ramshackle home for any disabled person who needs
somewhere to belong. Looting from passing ships to make a living,
they call themselves the Wrecklings, and for the children of Haven
Point life is spent adventuring on the wild shore (and getting into
trouble with the grown-ups). But when Alpha spots a strange light
up on the headland, she realizes that her beloved family are in
danger of being discovered by Outsiders. With their home under
threat, the Wrecklings must decide what kind of future they want .
. . and what they're willing to do to get it.

ADVENTURE. "A fairytale that goes beyond the happily-ever-after"
Kirkus starred review "Full of action, magic and intrigue" Foreword
starred review I've been cursed, betrayed, and sold into slavery -
but the truth I carry can't be allowed to die. Only Rae knows the
extent of the corruption at the heart of the kingdom of Menaiya,
from the noble lord who betrayed her, to the Circle of Mages whose
wards protect the slavers from discovery. Injured and imprisoned on
a slave ship, Rae's options are quickly running out. When a
desperate escape attempt goes terribly wrong, she finds herself
indebted to a terrifying Fae sorceress. Now Rae will not rest until
she has rescued her fellow prisoners and freed her land from the
darkness that has taken hold. To succeed, she'll need every ally
she can find-including Bren, the thief who may have stolen her
heart. But Bren is hiding his own bloody secrets, and the curses
that encircle Rae have sunk their claws into her mind. With her
debts coming due and time running short, all the truths in the
world may not be enough to save her kingdom, or herself. Follow the

from getting cluttered with unnecessary thoughts? Sometimes these
brain sorters get mixed up, though, and brains get clogged with
thoughts that really bother kids. If that has happened to you, if
it's hard for you to feel safe or sure of yourself because certain
thoughts have gotten stuck, this book is for you. This story guides
children and their parents through the cognitive-behavioral
techniques used to treat Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Revealing
OCD in a whole new light, this interactive self-help book turns
kids into super-sleuths who can recognize OCD's tricks. Engaging
examples, activities, and step-by-step instructions help children
master the skills needed to break free from the sticky thoughts and
urges of OCD, and live happier lives. This is the complete resource
for educating, motivating, and empowering children to work toward
change.

A 2020 Bank Street Best Book and the second title in the acclaimed
Slug Days Stories, now in paperback Lauren and her family drive to
a farm in North Dakota to visit relatives and celebrate her Auntie
Joss' wedding. But Lauren finds to her dismay that she is expected
to do more than meet adults who hug her and invade her personal
space. Lauren is going to be-horror of all horrors-a flower girl.
Lauren has Autism Spectrum Disorder, and she sees the world a
little differently from other kids. What makes her comfortable are
her routines and her strategies to manage her anxiety, which can
get out of control in no time. So it is a challenge to deal with
her rambunctious cousins, try on scratchy dresses, and follow
impossible directions about going down aisles
slowly-but-not-like-a-sloth and tossing pretend flowers around. Is
it any surprise that Lauren flips her lid more than once? But while
having an extended family seems like a lot of trouble at first,
she's about to learn just how much they can care for one another.
In Penguin Days, two award winners revisit second-grader Lauren
from the acclaimed Slug Days with equal humor and empathy. Drawing
on her experience teaching children with ASD, Sara Leach creates an
energetic character who stomps eloquently off the page. And Rebecca
Bender's delightful black-and-white illustrations show, in Lauren's
fraught situations and facial expressions, all the love and
assertiveness that could possibly dwell together in one unique,
little person.

In this empowering guide, Sinéad Burke draws on her own experiences and encourages young readers to believe in themselves, have pride in who they are and use their voice to make the world a fairer, more inclusive place.
From the power of being different, to celebrating the things you love about yourself and helping others do the same, this is a brilliantly inspirational handbook for breaking the mould and finding your place in the world.
'A very important book encouraging us all to celebrate the uniqueness and gift of our own and others' differences, while recognising all of that which we share in common.' - Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland
