The desired outcome of taking medicine is to run disease from the
body in order for healing to take place. Unfortunately, not all
diseases affect the body. Toxic relationships "dis-ease" the mind.
Some people stumble onto "dis-eases" camouflaged in life
experiences. Though their minds scream for relief, relief is often
not an option because most anecdotes are risk to benefit. There
have been times, however, when the "dis-ease" itself brings on a
queasiness that ultimately brings about healing. Poetry can bring
solace to "dis-ease." If by chance, Doses of Dis-Ease offers you a
sense of sharing that causes your "dis-ease" to reflux, then my
mission has been accomplished.
Strong queens, wise kings, secret plots and fierce battles --
discover the historic legends of Scotland's most famous monarchs.
In this stunning collection, Carnegie-award-winning children's
author Theresa Breslin tells captivating tales of ten significant
Scottish kings and queens alongside informative historical
introductions, all sumptuously illustrated by Liza Tretyakova.
Children will experience history up close -- rescuing the Stone of
Destiny with Scotland's first king, Kenneth MacAlpin, battling at
Bannockburn with Robert the Bruce, making friends with young Mary,
Queen of Scots, and braving a would-be assassin with Queen
Victoria. Inspired by historical sources and ancient legends,
Breslin's stories are by turns thrilling, surprising and
heart-warming. This unique anthology brings to life fascinating,
influential characters from the past and offers vivid glimpses of
Scotland emerging as a nation. Illustrated Legends of Scotland's
Kings and Queens is a beautiful celebration of Scottish heritage
that will be treasured for a lifetime.
In this collection - Steve's fifth children's poetry book - he
returns to much of the word play and wit of the best-selling The
Day I Fell Down the Toilet. Using the alphabet as a framework he
has written three poems for each letter (including X and Z!). This
highly entertaining book will delight all Turner fans and teachers
will appreciate the varied poetry forms (shape, limerick, nonsense,
free, rhyming etc). The fun, witty poems - often written from a
thought-provoking point of view - cover such diverse subjects as
aardvarks, cars, sausages, love and yo-yos, so there's sure to be
something to interest both boys and girls.
