Finn LOVES adventures and having fun! But when he starts to have
'cheeky worries', a Wise Owl knows just what to do... Cheeky
worries are those sneaky thoughts that pop up when you're least
expecting it. You might be getting ready for bed, playing with
friends at the park or having fun on the bus when suddenly a scary
thought pops into your head. Through the character of Finn and a
wise owl, this book equips children and adults with a common
language to discuss their emotional worlds and worries. It gently
introduces psychological principles and evidence-based techniques
that help children ages 4-8 develop resilience and deal with
anxiety.
This study contributes to positive social change by bringing
awareness of preeclampsia, risk factors, and the need for early
recognition and prompt treatment to first-generation Nigerian women
living in the United States. Although numerous studies have
documented the need for early recognition and treatment of
preeclampsia to attain a good prognosis, first-generation Nigerian
women living in the United States tend to seek obstetrical care
after the first trimester (twelve weeks), by which time prompt
recognition may be missed.

purple too... Elijah has tried to make the clouds above Manny's
head go away but they always seem to stay! Join Elijah and Manny as
they find out more about mood disorders and discover how to support
a friend or sibling with their difficult feelings. Ideal for ages
5+, the book also includes a short guide for adults with tips on
supporting children impacted by mood disorders.
What if everybody were more thoughtful before they judged someone?
If you see someone in a wheelchair, you might think he or she
couldn't compete in a race. But...you might be wrong. What if you
see a child with no hair? Do you think she is embarrassed all the
time? How about a kid who has a really hard time reading? Do you
think that means he's not smart? You might think so. But...you
might be wrong. With clear prose and lighthearted artwork, this
companion book to the bestseller What If Everybody Did That?
explores the preconceived notions we have about the world and
encourages kids to be more thoughtful.
Selected by Oprah Magazine as one of its 'essential books for
discussing racism with kids'. I am a non-stop ball of energy.
Powerful and full of light. I am a go-getter. A difference-maker. A
leader. Step inside the mind of the confident narrator of this
book. He is proud of everything that makes him who he is. He's got
big plans, and will see them through. He's creative, adventurous,
smart, funny. A good friend. A superhero. Sometimes he falls, but
he always gets back up. And other times he's afraid, because he's
often misunderstood. So, slow down, look and listen as he shows you
who he really is ... Featured in the Booktrust Great Books Guide

What is the BMI? How much should I be eating? Do I really need to
exercise? Find the answers to these questions and other food, body,
and health questions in this guide to understanding the
fundamentals of good nutrition and its partner for optimum
health--physical activity. Healthy eating can be a habit and good
habits started earlier in life are easier to maintain. Good
nutrition and physical activity complement each other in weight
loss, cardiovascular health, and other benefits. This book provides
the advice you need on how to get the most out of what you eat and
how to develop healthier habits that will help keep you fit for a
lifetime. Most teens don't need to resort to special diets or
programs; they just need to know how to make sensible choices.
Definitions of good nutrition, discussions of how the food you eat
affects the way you feel and perform, and information on how to use
readily available tools, such as the Nutrition Facts label and USDA
Food Guide Pyramid are just some of the factors provided to help
readers develop healthy habits. Bijlefeld and Zoumbaris provide
information on a number of other health matters, from vegetarian
diets to eating disorders to the affects of alcohol and drugs on
the body. You'll also learn how to make healthy choices in grocery
stores and restaurants, how to set up a kitchen of your own, and
how to keep your food safe, all factors involved in helping you to
stay healthy for peak performance in whatever you choose to do.
