Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) to understand their diagnosis,
develop self-awareness and implement their own personalised

An exceptionally moving story of triumph against all odds set
during World War 2, from the acclaimed author of "Jefferson's Sons"
and for fans of "Number the Stars."
Nine-year-old Ada has never left her one-room apartment. Her
mother is too humiliated by Ada's twisted foot to let her outside.
So when her little brother Jamie is shipped out of London to escape
the war, Ada doesn't waste a minute--she sneaks out to join him.
So begins a new adventure of Ada, and for Susan Smith, the woman
who is forced to take the two kids in. As Ada teaches herself to
ride a pony, learns to read, and watches for German spies, she
begins to trust Susan--and Susan begins to love Ada and Jamie. But
in the end, will their bond be enough to hold them together through
wartime? Or will Ada and her brother fall back into the cruel hands
of their mother?
This masterful work of historical fiction is equal parts adventure
and a moving tale of family and identity--a classic in the making.
Run away from what they see. Discover who you are. Maudie and
Jake's family is falling to pieces - their mum's been struggling
with her grief since they lost Dad and one night she vanishes. When
Jake is put into care, Maudie can't take it any more. She comes up
with a wild plan to pull their family back together - by kidnapping
Jake. On the run in Cornwall, Jake and Maudie each find something
they hadn't expected - freedom and love. But can they find Mum and
a way to heal together? A powerful and insightful novel about
grief, disability and first love; a story about getting lost and
finding yourself.
This special education children's book has been designed to help
kids with limited mobility to see the positive aspects that using a
wheelchair can bring to their lives. Children with limited mobility
can often feel somewhat isolated from their peers as a result of
times in the past when they were excluded from certain activities.
Through the experience of the main character, this book encourages
children to look at their wheelchair as playing a positive rather
than a negative role in their life. By reading this story with a
young child, it also gives parents an opportunity to discuss any
feelings of anxiety that their child may be feeling.
From zippy little pebbles to big strong boulders, the rock friends
get together to play and roll around their favorite hill, only to
find that one of their friends, Ricky, can't roll with them. Unlike
all of the other rocks, who are all round, Ricky can't roll because
he's flat on one side. Determined not to leave their friend behind,
the rocks set out to help Ricky roll - one way or another: When the
last knotwas tied, and the work was all done, the only step left
was for Rick to have fun.They stood back and watched, feeling
nervous and tense,as Rick breathed in deep, with increasing
suspense. He moved slowly at first, testing out his new mold, and
then, for the first time...Ricky the rock rolled! This sweet,
imaginative picture book, written in verse, brings a fresh set of
characters to life in a story that highlights perseverance and
triumph in the face of adversity, and the power of true friendship,
combining the spirit ofThe Giving Treewith the rhyme and rhythm of
Dr. Seuss. Targeted for children ages 3-11, this is the first of a
series of books featuring the "You Rock Group" that kids are sure
to cherish as they grow, and learn from through empowering,
motivating and fun-to-read stories.
