It's MY Body has been written in order to help adults and preschool
children talk about sexual abuse together in a way which minimizes
embarrassment and fear, but emphasizes self-reliance and open
communication. You will not find specific references and stories
about sexual abuse in this book. Preschool children are not ready
for detailed discussions of this issue. They are ready, however, to
learn how their feelings can help them make decisions about sharing
their bodies, and how to communicate those decisions to others.
This kind of learning serves as a vital first step in the
protection of children from sexual abuse. It's MY Body introduces
two touching codes which children can use to protect themselves
when they're uncomfortable. Popular with preschool teachers and
pediatricians, who report children sometimes practice the
protective phrases on siblings and dolls.

understand their behaviour. Llama thinks it is funny to tease
others. He whispers about them and makes fun of them. But when his
friends say they don't want to play with him any more, Llama is
upset. Can he start treating others more kindly? The Behaviour
Matters series of picture books provide a gentle means of
discussing emotions, boosting self-esteem and reinforcing good
behaviour. Supports the Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Area of Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, and is also

The wonderful long-awaited second novel from Pam Smy, the
celebrated author and illustrator of Thornhill. Covering themes of
families, childhood, domestic violence, being separated and
reunited, this is an important and beautifully illustrated book for
middle grade readers right up to adults. 'The Hideaway by Pam Smy
is a work of art. Smy is the genius writer and illustrator of the
stunning Thornhill. Smy takes children's books to another level.
Highly recommend.' - David Walliams The wonderful long-awaited
second novel from Pam Smy, celebrated author and illustrator of
Thornhill. The Hideaway tells the story of a boy, Billy McKenna,
who runs away from a difficult situation at home and takes refuge
in an overgrown graveyard. While hiding there he meets an elderly
man who is tending the graves in preparation for a day in November
when something magical is set to happen. The book is written in two
alternating narratives, both different aspects of the same story.
One thread tells of Billy's experience of hiding away in the
graveyard, his mixed-up feelings and emotions, and the supernatural
events he eventually witnesses. The other tells of his mother's
situation at home and the police search for Billy. Covering themes
of family, childhood, separation and reunion, domestic violence and
doing the right thing, this is an important and beautiful book for
middle grade readers right up to adults. Billy's story is
illustrated throughout with tonal and textured black and white
drawings, until the event on All Souls' Eve, when the text gives
way to a series of double page images of the supernatural
happening. The Hideaway is a compelling, exciting and emotional
story that will stay with you long after you finish the last page.
Most books about bullying tell children how to act without
addressing how they feel. But the usual advice to 'ignore it' or
'say something smart' is doomed to fail, as you can't act brave and
confident if you feel stressed and helpless inside. Jenny
Alexander's approach is to develop readers' psychological defences.
Through an entertaining mix of exercises, quizzes and fictional
scenarios, she combines common sense with simple cognitive therapy
techniques, to build up children's self esteem. Her tone is
humorous and upbeat, but always sensitive to the reader's feelings.
This new, updated edition takes account of recent technologies such
as texting, MSN and bluejacking, which are increasingly abused by
bullies.
From the critically acclaimed author of Pet and The Death of Vivek
Oji, Bitter, takes a timely and provocative look at the power of
youth, protest and art. Bitter is thrilled to have been chosen to
attend Eucalyptus, a special school where she can focus on her
painting surrounded by other creative teens. But outside this
haven, the streets are filled with protests against the deep
injustices that grip the town of Lucille. Bitter's instinct is to
stay safe within the walls of Eucalyptus . . . but her friends
aren't willing to settle for a world that the adults say is 'just
the way things are.' Pulled between old friendships, her creative
passion, and a new romance, Bitter isn't sure where she belongs -
in the art studio or in the streets. And if she does find a way to
help the revolution while being true to who she is, she must also
ask: at what cost?
Longlisted for the Carnegie Medal. A heartbreaking story, narrated
by twelve-year-old Jack, whose family is caring for
fourteen-year-old Joseph. Joseph is misunderstood. He was
incarcerated for trying to kill a teacher. Or so the rumours say.
But Jack and his family see something others in town don't want to.
What's more, Joseph has a daughter he's never seen. The two boys go
on a journey through the bitter Maine winter to help Joseph find
his baby - no matter the cost.

Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson! Bestselling author Laurie Halse

people with the courage to say #MeToo and #TimesUp, whether aloud,

ignore.
