’n Mens wil glo dat kinders nie verdriet ervaar nie, maar hulle beleef dit wel.

Selfs as ’n mens dit regkry om kinders teen die ergste hartseer te beskerm, sal daar tog ’n keer kom wat hulle een of ander vorm van verlies ervaar en daaroor sal rou.

Die dood van hetsy ’n maat, familielid of troeteldier, is nie die enigste vorm wat verlies aanneem nie. Ook as ouers skei, verander ’n kind se lewe dramaties en kan sy nét sulke heftige emosies beleef soos wanneer iemand sterf.

Kinders is veerkragtig en kan met hulp weer hul lewens voortsit. Dié boek bevat wenke, idees en ’n leesgids vir ouers, onderwysers, familie en vriende van kinders van alle ouderdomme. Die aktiwiteite in die boek help om spelenderwys ’n ruimte vir heling vir kinders te skep. Die pragmatiese en sensitiewe raad het ook ten doel om volwassenes ’n woordeskat te gee wanneer verdriet hulle tot stilte ruk.

From the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Nikola Tesla, the scientist and inventor whose groundbreaking inventions we continue to use today. Since he was a young boy growing up in the Austrian Empire, Nikola was fascinated by science and numbers. His teachers knew he had a brilliant mind, but Nikola's irregular routines and fondness for playing cards meant that he was kicked out of school before he could finish his exams. However, after working for a spell at the Budapest Telephone Exchange, where he made several clever innovations to their electrical systems, he managed to get a job with Edison Machine Works in New York, U.S.A. In the United States, Tesla's inquisitive nature and ingenious mind spurred him on to keep exploring electricity, and he came up with several groundbreaking inventions during this time, including breakthroughs in alternating current and wireless remote controls. By the end of his life, the brilliant inventor had more than 300 patents for original and unique inventions, and had advanced scientific thought by a generation.

"Fireborne is everything I want in fantasy."--Rachel Hartman, New York Times bestselling author of Seraphina Game of Thrones meets Red Rising in a debut young adult fantasy that's full of rivalry, romance . . . and dragons. Annie and Lee were just children when a brutal revolution changed their world, giving everyone--even the lowborn--a chance to test into the governing class of dragonriders. Now they are both rising stars in the new regime, despite backgrounds that couldn't be more different. Annie's lowborn family was executed by dragonfire, while Lee's aristocratic family was murdered by revolutionaries. Growing up in the same orphanage forged their friendship, and seven years of training have made them rivals for the top position in the dragonriding fleet. But everything changes when survivors from the old regime surface, bent on reclaiming the city. With war on the horizon and his relationship with Annie changing fast, Lee must choose to kill the only family he has left or to betray everything he's come to believe in. And Annie must decide whether to protect the boy she loves . . . or step up to be the champion her city needs. From debut author Rosaria Munda comes a gripping adventure that calls into question which matters most: the family you were born into, or the one you've chosen.
