How much sex education do children need? As much as they ask for, say the experts. And exactly what do children want to know? Ask them!
This book collects real questions asked by children in classes about the human body, love, and sexuality. The answers are both direct and warmhearted, giving children the information they really want to know in a form they can relate to. This is a book for both boys and girls that is relevant to today's conversations about sexuality. It brings humor and lightness to help families comfortably approach this topic that many find awkward.
A story that helps with teaching boundaries.Asking for permission
is a key foundation of consent. We Ask Permission builds children s
social and emotional skills and helps with teaching boundaries by
encouraging children to look for body language cues and by asking
before hugging or touching others. The third book in the We Say
What s Okay series, We Ask Permission follows Jovan as he learns to
ask permission and become a body language detective. Using the book
as a read-aloud, educators and families can model the language
Jovan s teachers use to support children as they learn to look for
body language cues and respect the personal boundaries of others.
The author, who hosts workshops and trainings on teaching
boundaries and consent for families and early childhood educators
around the country, offers additional activities in the back of the
book. Digital content includes a song from Peaceful Schools with
downloadable audio files and sheet music.We Say What's Okay
SeriesCentered on a class of preschoolers, the We Say What s Okay
series helps teach young children the social and emotional skills
they need to understand the complexities of consent. Each book
covers a consent theme, such as how to recognize the physical
sensations that emotions create, look for body language cues, ask
for and listen to choices, and know that our bodies have value.
With believable, everyday situations and diverse characters,
children can see themselves and others reflected in each story and
develop a vocabulary to communicate consent and feelings. Every
book in the series is accompanied by a song from Peaceful Schools
with downloadable audio files and sheet music.
As this book is being read the questions allow a very important
dialogue to exist between the reader and the listener. The dialogue
will encourage safety and well-being issues for children to be
discussed.
In this striking new novel by the critically acclaimed author of
Allegedly and Monday's Not Coming, Tiffany D. Jackson tells the
story of three Brooklyn teens who plot to turn their murdered
friend into a major rap star by pretending he's still alive.
Brooklyn, 1998. Biggie Smalls was right: Things done changed. But
that doesn't mean that Quadir and Jarrell are cool letting their
best friend Steph's music lie forgotten under his bed after he's
murdered-not when his rhymes could turn any Bed Stuy corner into a
party. With the help of Steph's younger sister Jasmine, they come
up with a plan to promote Steph's music under a new rap name: the
Architect. Soon, everyone wants a piece of him. When his demo
catches the attention of a hotheaded music label rep, the trio must
prove Steph's talent from beyond the grave. As the pressure of
keeping their secret grows, Quadir, Jarrell, and Jasmine are forced
to confront the truth about what happened to Steph. Only, each has
something to hide. And with everything riding on Steph's fame, they
need to decide what they stand for or lose all that they've worked
so hard to hold on to-including each other.
A story of telling truth from lies -- and finding out what being a
hero really means. There are two things Trevor loves more than
anything else: playing war-based video games, and his
great-grandfather Jacob, who is a true-blue, bona fide war hero. At
the height of the war, Jacob helped liberate a small French
village, and was given a hero's welcome upon his return to America.
Now it's decades later, and Jacob wants to retrace the steps he
took during the war - from training to invasion to the village he
is said to have saved. Trevor thinks this is the coolest idea ever.
But as they get to the village, Trevor discovers there's more to
the story than what he's heard his whole life, causing him to
wonder about his great-grandfather's heroism, the truth about the
battle he fought, and importance of genuine valor.
America's favorite series returns with a new look and a Netflix tv
show. Dawn's a little jealous when there's a formal ceremony to
welcome Jessi and Mallory into the Baby-sitters Club. Don't people
know that Dawn's a special baby-sitter too? Then it's Dawn's turn
to shine. Mrs. Pike wants Dawn to help prepare Margo and Claire for
the Little Miss Stoneybrook contest. So what if Margo's only talent
is peeling a banana with her feet? Dawn's going to help her charges
win that contest any way she can. The only trouble is...Kristy,
Mary Anne, and Claudia arehelping Karen, Myriah, and Charlotte
enter the contest, too. And nobody's sure where the competition is
fiercer: at the pageant -- or at the Baby-sitters Club! The best
friends you'll ever have!

"You know I'm coming. You're dead already." Hector has always
minded his own business, working hard to make his way to a better
life someday. He's the chess team champion, helps the family with
his job at the grocery, and teaches his little sister to shoot
hoops overhand. Until Joey singles him out. Joey, whose older
brother, Chavo, is head of the Discipulos gang, tells Hector that
he's going to kill him: maybe not today, or tomorrow, but someday.
And Hector, frozen with fear, does nothing. From that day forward,
Hector's death is hanging over his head every time he leaves the
house. He tries to fade into the shadows -- to drop off Joey's
radar -- to become no one. But when a fight between Chavo and
Hector's brother Fili escalates, Hector is left with no choice but
to take a stand. The violent confrontation will take Hector places
he never expected, including a reform school where he has to live
side-by-side with his enemy, Joey. It's up to Hector to choose
whether he's going to lose himself to revenge or get back to the
hard work of living.
An exciting adventure dealing with the topics of bulling and
friendship based on the fictional characters from the award-winning
video game World of Warcraft.

Lei is a member of the Paper caste, the lowest and most persecuted class of people in Ikhara. Ten years ago, her mother was snatched by the royal guards, and her fate remains unknown. Now, the guards are back and this time it's Lei they're after - the girl with the golden eyes, whose rumored beauty has piqued the king's interest.
Over weeks of training in the opulent but oppressive palace, Lei and eight other girls learns the skills and charm that befit a king's consort. There, Lei does the unthinkable - she falls in love. Her forbidden romance becomes enmeshed with an explosive plot that threatens her world's entire way of life. Lei, still the wide-eyed country girl at heart, must decide how far she's willing to go for justice and revenge.
Everyone is laughing at Marvin Redpost. He's the grossest kid in
school. Why? He picks his nose. Well, that's the rumour the class
bully, Clarence, started and no one argues with Clarence - not even
Marvin's so-called best friends. So what can Marvin do to turn
things round? A great story which reveals that good things can
often come out of bad.

Don't Mention It is a companion novel to the Did I Mention I Love
You trilogy from Estelle Maskame, author of addicting Wattpad
books, that explores Tyler's story-his heart-stopping tale of past
hurt, finding hope, and figuring out who the hell he wants to be.
Just between us, can love heal all wounds? At seventeen, Tyler
Bruce is hot - a hot mess. His girlfriend is a knockout, his
reputation's untouchable, parties are nothing without him. Even his
car is unreal. But inside Tyler is broken - and he'll stop at
nothing to keep that a secret. Then one big summer Eden comes to
stay. She's upfront, sharp, and far more enticing than a stepsister
should be. She also sees straight through Tyler's bad boy facade to
the vulnerable kid within. The quiet kid who took all the punches.
As Eden draws Tyler in, his defenses start to crumble around him.
In his past, vulnerability only brought him danger. But now, it
might just bring him everything he needs...if it doesn't break him.
