It's MY Body has been written in order to help adults and preschool
children talk about sexual abuse together in a way which minimizes
embarrassment and fear, but emphasizes self-reliance and open
communication. You will not find specific references and stories
about sexual abuse in this book. Preschool children are not ready
for detailed discussions of this issue. They are ready, however, to
learn how their feelings can help them make decisions about sharing
their bodies, and how to communicate those decisions to others.
This kind of learning serves as a vital first step in the
protection of children from sexual abuse. It's MY Body introduces
two touching codes which children can use to protect themselves
when they're uncomfortable. Popular with preschool teachers and
pediatricians, who report children sometimes practice the
protective phrases on siblings and dolls.

Orange Is the New Black meets Walter Dean Myer’s Monster in this gritty, twisty, and haunting debut by Tiffany D. Jackson about a girl convicted of murder seeking the truth while surviving life in a group home.
Mary B. Addison killed a baby.
Allegedly. She didn’t say much in that first interview with detectives, and the media filled in the only blanks that mattered: a white baby had died while under the care of a churchgoing black woman and her nine-year-old daughter. The public convicted Mary and the jury made it official. But did she do it?
There wasn’t a point to setting the record straight before, but now she’s got Ted—and their unborn child—to think about. When the state threatens to take her baby, Mary’s fate now lies in the hands of the one person she distrusts the most: her Momma. No one knows the real Momma. But does anyone know the real Mary?
Llama Stops Teasing offers a gentle introduction to the concept of
teasing for young children. This funny, charming story is the
perfect way to introduce young children to teasing, and help them
find ways to build empathy. Also included are suggestions for
activities and ideas to talk through together to help children
understand their behaviour. Llama thinks it is funny to tease
others. He whispers about them and makes fun of them. But when his
friends say they don't want to play with him any more, Llama is
upset. Can he start treating others more kindly? The Behaviour
Matters series of picture books provide a gentle means of
discussing emotions, boosting self-esteem and reinforcing good
behaviour. Supports the Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Area of Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, and is also
suitable for use with children in KS1 and can be used to discuss
values. Suitable for children under 5.
Most books about bullying tell children how to act without
addressing how they feel. But the usual advice to 'ignore it' or
'say something smart' is doomed to fail, as you can't act brave and
confident if you feel stressed and helpless inside. Jenny
Alexander's approach is to develop readers' psychological defences.
Through an entertaining mix of exercises, quizzes and fictional
scenarios, she combines common sense with simple cognitive therapy
techniques, to build up children's self esteem. Her tone is
humorous and upbeat, but always sensitive to the reader's feelings.
This new, updated edition takes account of recent technologies such
as texting, MSN and bluejacking, which are increasingly abused by
bullies.

What's more, Joseph has a daughter he's never seen. The two boys go

his baby - no matter the cost.

Serving detention one day, Ilyas finds a kindred spirit in Kelly Matthews, who is fed up with being pigeonholed as the good girl, and their friendship blows the social strata of high school wide open. But when Kelly catches the eye of one of the local bad boys, Imran, he decides to seduce her for a bet – and Ilyas is faced with losing the only person who understands him.

Saints and Misfits-a William C. Morris Award finalist and an
Entertainment Weekly Best YA Book of the Year-is a "timely and
authentic" (School Library Journal, starred review) debut novel
that feels like a modern day My So-Called Life...starring a Muslim
teen. There are three kinds of people in my world: 1. Saints, those
special people moving the world forward. Sometimes you glaze over
them. Or, at least, I do. They're in your face so much, you can't
see them, like how you can't see your nose. 2. Misfits, people who
don't belong. Like me-the way I don't fit into Dad's brand-new
family or in the leftover one composed of Mom and my older brother,
Mama's-Boy-Muhammad. Also, there's Jeremy and me. Misfits. Because
although, alliteratively speaking, Janna and Jeremy sound good
together, we don't go together. Same planet, different worlds. But
sometimes worlds collide and beautiful things happen, right? 3.
Monsters. Well, monsters wearing saint masks, like in Flannery
O'Connor's stories. Like the monster at my mosque. People think
he's holy, untouchable, but nobody has seen under the mask. Except
me.
Designed for use in schools, this comic teaches children about
restorative justice through the story of Jake and Ryan. After a
misunderstanding between Jake and Ryan leads to a fight in the
playground, both boys are left feeling angry and fearful about what
might happen when they see each other again. Rather than keeping
Jake and Ryan apart, their teacher arranges a restorative meeting
to allow the boys to understand the situation from the other's
perspective and transform their negative emotions into positive
ones. This comic is a key resource in helping children aged 8-13 to
understand restorative justice and prepare for a restorative
meeting. The comic also features a resource section for teachers,
explaining more about restorative practices and how they can be
used in schools to foster respect and emotional literacy among
students.
Fifteen-year-old Sander wishes he was like everyone else. But Sander has a rare medical condition that affects one in a hundred thousand people.
