eating and body image problems delivers real talk about eating
disorders and body image, tools and information for recovery, and
suggestions for dealing with the media messages that contribute so
much to disordered eating. You Are Enough answers questions like: *
What are eating disorders? * What types of treatment are available
for eating disorders? * What is anxiety? * How can you relax? *
What is cognitive reframing? * Why are measurements like BMI flawed
and arbitrary? * What is impostor syndrome? * How do our role
models affect us? . . . just to name a few. Many eating disorder
books are written in a way that leaves many people out of the
eating disorder conversation, and this book is written with a
special eye on inclusivity.

"Packed full of emotion. . . . An influential read with a powerful
message."-Booklist Whether goose or swan, I have wings. And I'll
fly. Gus's life is about one thing-swimming. And he knows that the
only coach in town who can get him to the Olympics is Coach Marks.
So it seems like a simple plan: convince Coach Marks to train him,
and everything from there on in is just hard work. Gus has never
been afraid of hard work. But there are a few complications. For
one thing, Coach Marks was Danny's coach. Danny, Gus's brother,
committed suicide after failing to make the national swimming
team-a big step on the way to the Olympics. And for another, Gus
and Danny didn't exactly get along; Gus never liked living in
Danny's shadow. A shadow that has grown even bigger since his
death. In this powerful novel about the punishing and the healing
nature of sports, Gus's rage threatens to swallow him at every
turn. He's angry at his brother, his mother, his coach . . . even
himself. But as he works toward his goal and through his feelings,
Gus does everything he can to channel this burning intensity into
excelling at the sport that he and Danny both loved, and finds
solace in the same place he must face his demons: in the water. In
addition to Gus's incredible narrative, there are four pieces of
original art featured in Geese Are Never Swans. The art was curated
by TaskForce, a creative agency that collaborates with the most
influential nonprofits, brands, and people taking on the most
pressing challenges facing our nation and our world. TaskForce
builds capacity and community for those shaping a more empathetic
society through public opinion and policy. The artists'
interpretations of their work are included in the book.

A farmhouse is being reproduced a dozen times, with slight
variations, throughout a valley. Three small graves have been dug
in the front garden, the middle one lying empty. A woman in a
wheelchair sorts through boxes while her husband clambers around
the old demolished buildings, wondering where the animals have
gone. A young woman – called ‘the barren one’ behind her back –
dreams of love, while an ageing headmaster contemplates the end of
his life. At the entrance to the long dirt driveway, a car appears
and pauses – pointed towards the house like a silver bullet,
ticking with heat.
So begins The Dream House, Craig Higginson’s
riveting and unforgettable novel set in the Midlands of
KwaZulu-Natal. Written with dark wit, a stark poetic style and
extraordinary tenderness, this is a story about the state of a
nation and a deep meditation on memory, ageing, meaning, family,
love and loss.
This updated 2016 edition contains new content, with
Craig Higginson exploring the background to The Dream House, his
varied experiences in a farmhouse in KwaZulu-Natal and the
subsequent and poignant motivations for this moving novel.
A heartfelt picture book that explains empathy, told in simple words.
Some friends need a great big hug to make them feel well.
Some prefer to be alone. Some listen, others tell
the most adventurous stories of the times that went before!
Some friends may not want to talk about them anymore.
How to Mend a Friend is a heartfelt picture book which touches on
empathy, loss and friendship.
At times, we all feel a little bit broken. Karl's simple text is a
guide on How to Mend a Friend, whether it's a friend with a broken toy,
a broken heart, a loss they can't explain or the sadness that comes
when someone else eats the last cookie.
Featuring a child and an imaginary animal friend, children will find it
easy to relate to the story throughout, whilst learning how they might
support a friend who feels sad.

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
