Reds love being red. Yellows love being yellow. And Blues love being blue. The problem is that they just don't like each other.
But one day, along comes a different colour who likes Reds, Yellows and Blues, and suddenly everything starts to change.
Maybe being different doesn't mean you can't be friends ...
A very special picture book that supports the adage that there is more that unites us than divides us. Along Came a Different just goes to show how much better we can all be when we come together to find common ground as friends. Every bookshelf should have a copy.
Lucy and Alpha used to be the Wonder Twins, two hearts beating as
one. When Mum's new job rewilding wolves means they have to move to
the forest, that changes. Lucy loves being close to nature, but
Alpha wants to follow her dream of basketball glory. They've become
like distant universes, drifting further apart. Then a new wolf cub
arrives at the centre. Lucy names him Claw and they form a special
bond. But Alpha thinks he should roam free, and she plots to
release him. When news of Claw's disappearance breaks, the future
of the rewilding centre is at stake. Can the Wonder Twins pull
together again to find Claw and heal their differences?
An informative and inclusive children's guide to neurodiversity for
those not in the know and to inspire children who are
neurodivergent. Our brains are unique in the way they function,
work, and think. Neurodiversity is still a relatively 'new' concept
that can be tricky to understand, but this book is here to help!
This inspirational book written by neurodiverse author Louise
Gooding challenges misconceptions and shows how neurodivergent
brains work a little differently. It is common for neurodiverse
people and those with neurological differences to feel as though
they don't fit in, but their extraordinary differences should be
embraced. Wonderfully Wired Brains teaches children aged 7-9 all
about the awesome abilities that neurodiverse individuals have,
introduces them to advocates who are challenging neurodiversity
stereotypes, and most importantly gives them a safe space to feel
accepted. This informative and educational book for children
features: - Accurate, understandable explanations of diagnoses that
impact the brain, including each area of neurodiversity and what it
can or does mean for anyone with that particular neurological
difference. - A positive, friendly look at neurodiverse brains that
debunks myths and stereotypes. - Informative, inclusive text is
accompanied by colourful, modern illustrations. The font and
colours used have been selected to accommodate a range of
neurodiverse readers. Combining neurodiverse experiences with
science, history, and brain-bursting facts, Wonderfully Wired
Brains has something for everyone! Whether your child is
neurodiverse or not, this book will inspire inquisitive young
readers and show them that no two brains function in the same way
and that everyone's differences should be celebrated. There really
is no other book like it.

But when Len catches Sage endangering her health by practising
volleyball for the upcoming YMCA championship, a fight erupts and

Every aspect of our everyday life has been infiltrated by
technology. In many cases, technology has the potential to increase
productivity in our subjects of study while simultaneously
enhancing social participation. Despite these advantages,
technology and digital services have the potential to have a
detrimental impact on people's emotional, physical, and social
wellbeing. Our interactions with the media have changed as our
lives and expectations have changed. To attain digital wellbeing
and mindfulness, it is not essential to use technology less
frequently. Rather, it is about critically questioning how we use
technology and considering why we use it - do we make a
constructive decision or do we simply let ourselves be lured by the
tempting digital platforms?

stumbles upon the fact that Necros was in the area on the very same
day he became an orphan, he can’t help but wonder—is MASC
hiding the truth about who his parents really are? When superheroes
mysteriously start going missing, all signs point to the same
supervillain who also may hold the clues to Logan’s past. Only
Logan—along with his super-strong best friend, Elena, and their
new bestie, Connie—can uncover the truth, find the missing
superheroes, and stop Necros. Will Logan be able to save the day
and uncover the truth about his birth parents before it’s too
late? It’s another action-packed Logan Foster adventure from
