ABOUT THE BOOK: A life-changing story for hearing-impaired children
and their families, Rivers' Walk tells the story of a vibrant,
strong-willed, hearing-impaired bunny who discovers just how much
fun wearing hearing aids can be. Wonderfully illustrated and
written, Rivers' Walk captures the imagination and encourages
hearing-impaired children to embrace and wear their hearing aids.
This story was inspired by a very real and very special little girl
named Rivers, a student at The Memphis Oral School for the Deaf
(MOSD). Located in the Memphis community for more than fifty years
and serving families from all over the Mid-South, The Memphis Oral
School for the Deaf works to empower deaf children to listen,
learn, and talk. At MOSD, no sign language is used. Instead, it
employs speech and language therapies and audiological services, in
conjunction with preschool classes, to help profoundly deaf and
hard-of-hearing children ages birth to six years old. These
specialized techniques help the children develop the necessary
listening and spoken language skills to become a part of, rather
than apart from, a world of sound. Find out more at
www.MOSDkids.org. ---- ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Nathalie Johnson
received her undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences
from Indiana University, her masters degree in Audiology from the
University of Memphis, and recently her doctorate in Audiology from
the Arizona School of Health Sciences. She has dedicated the last
15 years of her professional career to the children and families at
The Memphis Oral School for the Deaf, where she is head of the
family training program entitled Sound Beginnings. Dr. Johnson
shares the vision of The Memphis Oral School for the Deaf where
every day is an opportunity to give the gift of sound and to
empower deaf children to listen, learn, and talk.

What if every young girl loved her body? Love Your Body encourages
you to admire and celebrate your body for all the amazing things it
can do (like laugh, cry, hug and feel) and to help you see that you
are so much more than your body. Bodies come in all different forms
and abilities. All these bodies are different and all these bodies
are good bodies. There is no size, ability or colour that is
perfect. What makes you different makes you, you - and you are
amazing! Love Your Body introduces the language of self-love and
self-care to help build resilience, while representing and
celebrating diverse bodies, encouraging you to appreciate your
uniqueness. This book was written for every girl, regardless of how
you view your body. All girls deserve to be equipped with the tools
to navigate an image-obsessed world. Featuring a special surprise
poster on the jacket, this book will show you that freedom is
loving your body with all its "imperfections" and being the
perfectly imperfect you!
