This book provides innovative pedagogy, theory, and strategies for
college and university professors who seek effective methods and
materials for teaching about gender and sex to today's students. It
provides thoughtful reflections on the new struggles and
opportunities instructors face in teaching gender and sex during
what has been called the "post-feminist era." Building off its
predecessor: Teaching Race and Anti-Racism in Contemporary America,
this book offers complementary classroom exercises for teachers,
that foster active and collaborative learning. Through reflecting
on the gendered dimensions of the current political, economic, and
cultural climate, as well as presenting novel lesson plans and
classroom activities, Teaching Gender and Sex in Contemporary
America is a valuable resource for educators.
After witnessing the murder of his parents, Prince Dionisio and
Princess Carlota, brave twelve-year-old Rafael barely escapes and
ends up on a ship heading out to sea. There he meets Alex, an
orphan boy his own age who works on the ship. Their voyage begins
in 1486, during the time when Christopher Columbus sails the ocean
and discovers the New World.
In spite of their vastly different backgrounds, Rafael and Alex
share a faith and grow to become fast friends in a captivating
story filled with excitement and daring. The boys protect each
other and dodge perilous situations by using their survival skills
and being guided by their strong belief in God. Traveling to the
unknown, the boys grow to become men-one yearning for the heart of
a special girl, the other seeking to serve God.
Readers of all ages will go back in time as author Pat Mac
Donald brings history, friendship, faith, and adventure together in
"Two Orphans, Columbus, and the New World."
A great new Bing picture book about how all kids want to have
plasters, whether they need one or not, based on the award-winning

her. But Bing really, really wants a plaster too! But does he
actually need one?
In this timely tale of immigration, two cousins learn the
importance of family and friendship.
"A year of discoveries culminates in a performance full of
surprises, as two girls find their own way to belong.
"
Mexico may be her parents' home, but it's certainly not Margie's.
She has finally convinced the other kids at school she is
one-hundred percent American--just like them. But when her Mexican
cousin Lupe visits, the image she's created for herself crumbles.
Things aren't easy for Lupe, either. Mexico hadn't felt like home
since her father went North to find work. Lupe's hope of seeing him
in the United States comforts her some, but learning a new language
in a new school is tough. Lupe, as much as Margie, is in need of a
friend.
Little by little, the girls' individual steps find the rhythm of
one shared dance, and they learn what "home" really means. In the
tradition of My Name is Maria Isabel--and simultaneously published
in English and in Spanish--Alma Flor Ada and her son Gabriel M.
Zubizarreta offer an honest story of family, friendship, and the
classic immigrant experience: becoming part of something new, while
straying true to who you are.
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:

Feasting, Sides & Sharing, Bread, Desserts. "Bye bye boring
school dinners - this is the future of food for our kids" - Tom

family focussed recipes. A total must have." - Thomasina Miers
