It is worrying to think that most girls feel dissatisfied with
their bodies, and that this can lead to serious problems including
depression and eating disorders. Can some of those body image
worries be eased? Body image expert and psychology professor Dr
Charlotte Markey helps girls aged 9-15 to understand, accept, and
appreciate their bodies. She provides all the facts on puberty,
mental health, self-care, why diets are bad news, dealing with
social media, and everything in-between. Girls will find answers to
questions they always wanted to ask, the truth behind many body
image myths, and real-life stories from girls who share their own
experiences. Through this easy-to-read and beautifully illustrated
guide, Dr Markey teaches girls how to nurture both mental and
physical health to improve their own body image, shows the positive
impact they can have on others, and enables them to go out into the
world feeling fearless!

This book supports those training to work with young children to
explore the many factors that impact on child health and wellbeing.
Health is a concept that is often taken for granted in young
children. If a child is physically active, appears well and is
succeeding in learning, it is assumed that all is well. The growing
statistics of child mental health issues tell a different story, as
do the statistics for childhood obesity and the increasing number
of physical health issues in childhood. This book explores and
evaluates the strategies currently used in Britain to tackle this
escalating situation and asks - what more is needed? The global
pandemic has created a large increase in all childhood issues - the
scale of which is yet to be ascertained. Supporting healthy
childhoods has always been, and always will be, a constantly
evolving agenda. What supported children 10 years ago may no longer
be relevant in today's society.

A beautifully illustrated novel in verse about a young Indian girl
who tackles the taboos around sanitation in her village. In
Latika's village in rural India, there are no toilets. No toilets
mean that the women have to wait until night to do their business
in a field. There are scorpions and snakes in the field, and germs
that make people sick. For the girls in the village, no toilets
mean leaving school when they reach puberty. No one in the village
wants to talk about this shameful problem. But Latika has had
enough. When a government representative visits their village, she
sees her chance to make one of her dreams come true: the
construction of public toilets, which would be safer for everybody
in her village. Burying the Moon shines a light on how a lack of
access to sanitation facilities affects girls and women in many
parts of the world. Key Text Features author's note illustrations

An illustrated reader retelling the story of Jesus meeting with
Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus is determined to seek out a way to see Jesus
even though a towering and discouraging crowd is in his way. But
God cares and Jesus calls him down from the tree to meet with him -
a meeting that sets him on a new path of hope and encouragement. A
reassuring story to help young children talk to parents or those
who care for them about their hopes and challenges, find support to
persevere, and know that Jesus too finds a way to be with them. The
'God cares' series provides a Biblical approach to discussing
emotions and behaviour with children to nurture an attitude of
wellness. Children at different ages approach things differently in
their stages of emotional development, so this series works at two
different levels: illustrated Readers aimed at 5-7 year olds and
Chapter books aimed at 8+ years. Please note that children progress
at different reading abilities and stages of emotional development
so the age ranges are only a guide for parents and carers. The
Bible stories are retold reflecting on the emotions and encourages
children to discuss and relate this within their situations.
Sections at the back provide a reflective space for children and
practical advice for parents and carers. Debbie Duncan, author of
The Art of Daily Resilience, Brave and Gifted, is a nurse and a
teacher, and mother of four children. She has considerable insight
into what constitutes resilience and bravery: the ability to cope,
to stay on course, to bounce back. In her books she considers what
is required for physical, mental, and spiritual durability,
interweaving biblical teaching, prayers, with personal anecdote and
sound advice. This she now applies specifically to support parents
and carers raising children.
