Claire Cashmore, MBE and Paralympic gold medallist, was born without a
left forearm – but she never let being different stand in the way of
her big dreams. Splash is based on Claire’s real-life experience: this
gold-medal-winning swimmer really was scared of water … until one day,
everything changed!
These are Claire’s big sisters.
They call her Bear and ruffle her hair.
And whatever Claire’s sisters can do,
Claire can do too …
But there is one thing Claire won't do …The water in the swimming pool
makes her feel squirmy inside. Follow her sisters? No thank you! Not
today?
Can Claire conquer her fears? Can she set foot in the water – and what
will happen if she does?
Splash features a brilliantly bold heroine, who happens to be
differently abled, and brims with fun, positivity and Claire Cashmore’s
inspirational growth mindset message.
Cooking for kids can be tricky but this book, packed with recipes
that have been tried and tested by thousands of kids, is here to
help. Feeding kids is a maze - one day they'll eat a whole cucumber
from one end to the other; for the next three weeks, they will
swear it's a slimy snozzcumber. Whether time or cash strapped, it's
all too tempting to turn to fish fingers, bangers and mash and
other kids' classics, whilst wishing it was easier to do it better
on all fronts: more exciting, more inspiring, more wholesome. If
only there was someone out there who knew how to feed kids really
well on a budget, who could inspire them to try different food, and
make it easy on the cook and easy on the pocket! Well, there is.
And Chefs in Schools would like to help. Chefs in Schools is a
charity that operates in over 80 schools and feeds up to 30,000
pupils a day. They have a plethora of renowned chefs that support
and endorse them as their patrons or trustees, including Thomasina
Miers, Yotam Ottolenghi, Henry Dimbleby, Prue Leith and Amelia
Freer. This cookbook stands apart from other 'cooking for kids'
cookbooks as the recipes are tried and tested on thousands of
children. They're nutritious and proven to work. This cookbook
tells the stories and shares the recipes of the people who are
helping to transform school food. Their mission is to teach
children to love and understand real food cooked from fresh
ingredients, and to inspire them not just to eat it, but to choose
it, and to learn to cook it for themselves too. Chapters include:
Breakfast, A New Way In, Midweek Suppers, Street Food & Snacks,
Feasting, Sides & Sharing, Bread, Desserts. "Bye bye boring
school dinners - this is the future of food for our kids" - Tom
Kerridge "A brilliantly inspiring book packed with seriously good
family focussed recipes. A total must have." - Thomasina Miers

This book explores the relationship between embodiment and the
production of the key structures which frame agency to map out
potential for social change. It uses modalities of ageing
embodiment in the context of sport participation in later life,
specifically Master athletics, including barriers, opportunities
and physiological dimensions.
This innovative and adventurous work, now in paperback, uses
broadly feminist and postmodernist modes of analysis to explore
what motivates damaging attitudes and practices towards disability.
The book argues for the significance of the psycho-social imaginary
and suggests a way forward in disability's queering of normative
paradigms.
THE ULTIMATE SELF-CARE BOOK FOR TEENAGE GIRLS Face up to the world
with confidence and higher self-esteem Growing up has become
faster, more furious and the pressures more intense. Anxiety and
panic have reached epidemic proportions. A third of teenage girls
will suffer from depression. Factor in a rise in self-harm and
eating disorders and the mental health stats become alarming. It's
time to equip young women with the means to fight back. A Girl's
Guide to Being Fearless unlocks self-esteem, confidence, wellbeing,
resilience and offers an antidote to an overwhelming world of
altered photos, filters, and fillers. A Girl's Guide helps parents,
girls, and teachers understand that wellbeing is an inside job. As
an essential book for our time, this guide reflects the challenging
world facing teens. The authors suggest there is little to be
gained by asking girls to stop taking selfies or using Instagram
filters, because these habits are ingrained in teenage culture.
Instead, guidance is provided on how girls can take action to
increase their confidence and love the skin they are in. Moreover,
it's about learning to be a class act in person and online.
Practical exercises and doable ideas to inspire young women
Encouragement to eliminate self-limiting beliefs Guidance for girls
on lifting themselves and others up Tips for showing greater
confidence and being excited about the future Suggestions for how
to live your best life Keep calm and read A Girl's Guide to Being
Fearless, a gathering of life's cheat codes; all simple, do-able
and hugely entertaining. Learn how to show anxiety the door and let
in more of the good stuff. This book will help you find your Brave.
Whisper it quietly, but it might even change your life.

Discusses the elements of the human body. Includes suggestions for
related experiments and projects.
Investigating the current interest in obesity and fatness, this
book explores the problems and ambiguities that form the lived
experience of 'fat' women in contemporary Western society. Engaging
with dominant ideas about 'fatness', and analysing the assumptions
that inform anti-fat attitudes in the West, The 'Fat' Female Body
explores the moral panic over the 'obesity epidemic', and the
intersection of medicine and morality in pathologising 'fat'
bodies. It contributes to the emerging field of fat studies by
offering not only alternative understandings of subjectivity, the
(re)production of public knowledge(s) of 'fatness', and politics of
embodiment, but also the possibility of (re)reading 'fat' bodies to
foster more productive social relations.
Tommy Ketchum, also known as TK, is used to his little brother
Travis tagging along with him and his gang-a band of friends who
love to hang out, play sports, and seek out mischief. But when Ol'
Blue, one of the boy's lucky baseball bat, is snatched by Bart
Woods-the Menace of Mt. Vernon-and his sidekick Carlos, the Gang
embarks on a covert mission to get it back. With the toughest
baseball game of the season looming in the distance, Josh McKenzie
is desperate to help his team pull off the upset-but he cannot do
it without Ol' Blue. As revenge eats at the collective mind of the
Gang, they must first figure out a way to get through old man
Weaver's yard-the only thing that stands between the Gang and the
Menace's family compound. But creepy old man Weaver is not about to
make the boys' job easy-and neither is his savage dog. In this
first adventure of the TNT gang, all the boys soon learn that even
the best laid plans can go awry-especially when tangling with the
town menace.
