Once there was a lady with the loveliest laugh in the world. She
and her daughter share big loud belly laughs, quiet giggles, and
sometimes secret laughs between just the two of them. Until one
day, the lady dies, and her laugh goes away with her. At first it
seems impossible to go on without the lady - but when the little
girl finds her laugh again, she knows that, no matter what, the
memories and love that they shared will always be there. This
reassuring and beautifully illustrated picture book is the perfect
way to open up conversations about grief and loss with little ones.
What do an elephant seal and a leopard have in common? How about a slow loris and a gorilla, or a peacock and a turkey? Creatures of the Order collects members of the same taxonomic order together in an informative and beautifully illustrated way. Fascinating text brings Kelsey Oseid's charming illustrations to life in this enchanting look at the animal kingdom.
THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU The mentally ill and unstable walk among
us. Daily media reports the often tragic results. Without realizing
it, you may have encountered danger this past week. So, what if
they latch on to you and target you as their prey? They may begin
to stalk you, and this could go on for months or years before you
become aware of the threat. Rose Hill was not looking for trouble;
it found her, tormented her and made her life a living hell. Her
stalker was an old acquaintance, a painter who once worked for her.
He called himself "pain-to-her" and even warned Rose. Friends and
family often acted as if they were deaf or blind, ignoring her
pleas for help. Some of her help seemingly came from God's angels
who protected her during the dark days that followed. Read this
book and educate yourself about this common threat we all face. It
could save your life or the life of a loved one.
The nervous system allows us to move, feel, and think, and it is
involved in nearly all of the functions of the human body. Nerves
communicate signals between the brain and muscles, allowing us to
move our hands and feet. Or, they relay messages about the
environment through touch, taste, sight, and smell. Nerves can also
communicate information about how we are feeling at any particular
time and help to maintain homeostasis, or a stable state of
equilibrium. The Nervous System discusses the development and
organization of this diverse system, its functions, and potential
injuries and complications.
Down syndrome is a developmental disorder caused by the presence of
an extra copy of chromosome 21. This extra genetic material causes
changes in the production of various proteins, such as enzymes and
cell adhesion molecules, which can disrupt metabolic pathways and
cause defects in organ development. Modern medical advances and the
development of early interventions have reduced the impact of Down
syndrome, and as a result, individuals with Down syndrome can now
live longer and have fewer physical and intellectual difficulties.
"Down Syndrome" explains this genetic disease, its history and
characteristics, and what scientists are doing to study it.
