Mrs. Snowden tells the kids that T = True, H = Helpful, N =
Necessary, and K = Kind. If what you're about to say isn't any of
these things, she tells them, you shouldn't say it. Later that day,
when Tyaja is about to criticize her friend Dhavi's new haircut,
she is stopped by four little elves sporting the letters T, H, N,
and K, who reinforce Ms. Snowden's lesson and remind Tyaja how
friends should treat friends. Tyaja learns that she is the "I" in
THiNK!

mother of Margaret's grandchildren and a key player in helping
Margaret share her stories, discusses the impact of the book in a

Fully revised and updated based on reader feedback! This second
edition of The Anger Workbook for Teens includes brand-new
activities to help you understand and interact with your anger, and
tips for managing it in constructive ways. Does your anger often
get you into trouble? Do you react to situations and later regret
how you behaved? Does your anger cause problems with other people?
If so, you aren't alone. Between family life, friends, social
media, and the pressures of school, there's no doubt that it's
stressful being a teenager. And while anger is a natural human
emotion, different people handle it differently. Some hold in their
anger and let it build, some lash out with hurtful words and some
resort to fighting. If you've noticed yourself beginning to take
out your frustrations on the people you love most-your parents,
brothers or sisters and friends it's time to make a change. This
second edition of The Anger Workbook for Teens includes brand-new
skills and activities based in clinically proven treatments such as
acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you deal with
negative thoughts without losing control. You'll find out what's
triggering your anger, look at the ways you react, be more aware of
your thoughts and how you interact with them, and learn skills and
techniques for managing anger without losing your cool. You'll
develop a personal anger profile and learn to notice the physical
symptoms you feel when you become enraged, then find out how to
calm those feelings and respond more sensitively to others. Once
you fully understand your anger, you'll be better prepared to deal
with your feelings in the moment. As you begin the activities in
this workbook, it's perfectly normal to feel angrier at first.
That's because you are being asked to really notice and examine the
things that make you angry. But with practice, you'll learn to
handle frustrating situations in real life and more effectively
communicate your feelings. Most importantly, you'll learn the
difference between healthy anger-the kind that can motivate you to
make positive changes-and problematic anger that leads to negative
consequences. Change isn't easy, but with the right frame of mind
and set of skills, you can do it. This book is designed to help you
understand how both your mind and body respond to anger and how you
can handle this anger in more constructive ways.

"90 Miles to Havana" is a 2011 Pura Belpre Honor Book for
Narrative and a 2011 Bank Street Best Children's Book of the
Year.
When Julian's parents make the heartbreaking decision to send him
and his two brothers away from Cuba to Miami via the Pedro Pan
operation, the boys are thrust into a new world where bullies run
rampant and it's not always clear how best to protect
themselves.
Named Children's Book of the Week by The Times! Inspired by a true
family story, Michael Rosen presents an astonishing account of
perseverance, love and hope in wartime. Beginning in 1939, young
Solly in London exchanges letters with his teenaged cousin, Bernie,
in Poland. While Solly is evacuated and tries his best to adjust to
life in the English countryside, Bernie's parents know that as Jews
they're not safe staying in Warsaw, so they send Bernie to the
Russian-occupied side of the country in the hope that he'll be
safer there. Soon, though, he is arrested and sent off to a forced
labour camp in Russia. As the cousins exchange sporadic letters,
they try to keep their spirits up, trading jokes and observations
about the world changing all around them. Then Bernie seizes the
opportunity to join the "Anders Army" and fight the Axis powers,
and tells Solly all about his experiences in Iraq and eventually
Italy, where he fights alongside the British at the famous Battle
of Monte Cassino. Does Bernie survive and find a safe place to call
home? With breathtaking illustrations by beloved illustrator
Michael Foreman, this is an unforgettable story of courage and
love, perfect for the whole family to share. Michael Rosen is one
of the best-known figures in the children's book world, known for
his work as poet and author of classic books such as WE'RE GOING ON
A BEAR HUNT. This book is a perfect companion to POPPY FIELD by
Michael Morpurgo and Michael Foreman. Together, the books are a
wonderful introduction to the history of the great wars of the 20th
century and the importance of Remembrance.

make up their own mind about the scenarios presented and to question
their own initial assumptions or bias.
