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.
True enemies. False hope,
Sephy is part of the ruling class. Callum is considered a
second-class citizen. They have been friends all their lives, since
before there were barriers and boundaries. Now, things are
different -- they have to meet in secret, as hate and violence
seethe dangerously close to the surface of their society's fragile
order.
Once, Sephy and Callum thought they had to proect their love;
now, they must defend their very lives....
Richie "Ryder" Raymond has a gift. He can find the punchline in any
situation, even in his limited vision and prosthetic eye. During
the past year at Addison School for the Blind, Ryder's quick wit
earned the respect and friendship of his classmates. Heading to
mainstream, or "normal" school for eighth grade is going to be
awesome. After all, what's not to like? At Addison, Ryder was
everyone's favorite person. He could make anyone laugh, especially
his best friend Alice. So long as he can be first to make all of
the one-eyed jokes, Ryder is sure he'll fit in just as quick at
Papuaville Middle School, home of the Fighting Guinea Pigs. But
Alice warns him fitting in might not be as easy as he thinks. Turns
out, Alice was right. In just the first hour of "normal" school,
Ryder is attacked by General MacCathur II (aka, Gramps's cat),
causes his bio teacher to pass out cold, makes an enemy out town
hero Max, and falls for Jocelyn, the fierce girl next door who
happens to be Max's girlfriend. On top of that, Ryder struggles to
hold onto his dignity in the face of students' pity and Gramps's
non-stop practical jokes. Ryder quickly sees the only thing worse
than explaining a joke is being the punchline. But with help from
his stuck-in-the-70s Gramps and encouragement from Alice, Ryder
finds the strength to not only fight back, but to make peace. A
