Children love to explore, born with a boundless desire to
understand the world around them. While most of the outside world
has already been mapped, there's a whole other world that has yet
to be discovered, one that's accessible only to them: their own
minds. The Book of Me is a guided journal of self-discovery. It
takes readers on a journey inside themselves, helping them explore
their mind, their moods, their imagination, their conscience, and
how they determine the course of their lives. Alongside wise and
engaging explanations of ideas, each chapter contains a wealth of
interactive exercises that together help to create a rich and
unique self-portrait. Through writing, drawing, cutting out and
colouring in, children can begin to untangle the mysteries of
existence and work out who they really are (and who they might
become...). Combining psychology, philosophy and sheer fun, The
Book of Me is an introduction to the vital art of self-knowledge,
showing how it can help us grow into calmer, wiser and more rounded
human beings.

Edgar Allen Poe, Langston Hughes, Louisa May Alcott, and Stephen
King are just a handful of famous authors who began their
publishing careers in their teens. Many young adults would like to
write and publish but few know where to begin. While there are many
books on how to write and how to get published, none are written
specifically for teens. Writing and Publishing: The Ultimate Teen
Guide fills this gap. In this book, author Tina Schwartz discusses
many matters that are not often presented in guides to writing and
publishing, such as the importance of mentors and critique groups,
as well as courses and extracurricular activities that can be of
great help to the up-and-coming teen author. The book explores
various writing careers and the basics of publishing and marketing,
including how to write query letters. Schwartz also provides tips
on writing both fiction and nonfiction, as well as genres a new
author can explore, like poetry and songwriting. With this
resource, teens will find all the information they need to develop
writing skills and build confidence as a writer.
