Worry has a way of growing, shifting from not-a-big-deal to a VERY
BIG DEAL in the blink of an eye. This big-deal Worry is tricky,
luring children into behaviours that keep the anxiety cycle going.
Children often find it hard to fight back against Worry, but not
anymore. Outsmarting Worry teaches 9-13 year olds and the adults
who care about them a specific set of skills that makes it easier
to face - and overcome - worries and fears. Smart, practical,
proven techniques are presented in language immediately accessible
to children with an emphasis on shifting from knowing to doing,
from worried to happy and free.

conflicts, strengthening the bonds between brothers and sisters.

**Joint Gold Winner of the Moonbeam Multicultural Non-Fiction Award
2019** This inspirational book tells the stories of more than 50 of
today's teenagers who've dared to change the world they live in.
It's been written to show other teens they can do the same.
Bestselling author Margaret Rooke asks teens about their
experiences of being volunteers, social entrepreneurs and
campaigners, online and beyond. They explain how they have survived
in a world often obsessed by celebrity, social media and
appearance, by refusing to conform to other's expectations. If you
want to achieve against the odds and create genuine impact, this
book may be the encouragement you need. The interviews cover race,
sexuality, violence, grief, neurodiversity, bullying and other
issues central to life today. Read about teens from around the
world including - Trisha, 18, who has invented a way of preventing
bullying online - Dillon, 18, who takes damaged and donated
clothing and upcycles it for the homeless - Guro, 13, who persuaded
a pop band to portray women differently in its video - 'Happy D',
19, who learned to read at 14 and found ways to build his
confidence - Heraa, 19, who fights Islamophobia online. - Ruben,
18, bullied because of Down's Syndrome, now a successful actor -
Lucy who, at 14, walked into Tesco head office and persuaded them
not to sell eggs from caged hens. - Cameron, 17, who has cerebral
palsy and was side-lined by soccer teams who set up his own team
'Adversity United' - Alex, 18, who broke his back on his 15th
birthday and says his injury has taught him to care for others -
Amika, 18, who fights 'Period Poverty' - Jesse, 15, who's seven
feet tall and embraces his stature - Billy, 18, who wore full make
up every day at high school
When children learn about something big and bad - even when they
hear only bits and pieces - their brains get busy trying to make
sense of it. Where did it happen? Why did it happen? And
especially, will it happen again? Something Bad Happened guides
children ages 6 to 12 and the adults who care about them through
tough conversations about national and international tragedies. The
non-specific term "bad thing" is used throughout, keeping this a
flexible tool, and so children are never inadvertently exposed to
events their parents have chosen not to share. Fear, sadness and
uncertainty about the "bad thing" all are normalized, and
immediately usable coping tools provided. For children and parents
to read together, this one-of-a-kind resource by child psychologist
and best-selling author Dawn Huebner provides comfort, support and
next steps for children learning about troubling world events.
"Want to know something else about me? I am Billy Bramble: the
King, the President and the Emperor of Bad Lucksville. I am the
Chief Executive of Bad Luck Limited, the Bad Luck Champion of the
World, the Bad Luck Guinness World Record holder and it's all
thanks to my invisible dog Gobber. He's my Bringer of Bad Luck."
Billy Bramble likes rude words, smelly farts, loud farts and
freestyle sneezing but when BAD THINGS happen, his invisible angry
dog Gobber barks in his ears, gives him brain mash and breaks
things. One day a competition is announced at school - The Great
Big Cook Off - can Billy Bramble defeat Gobber and change his epic
bad luck? An irreverent story for children aged 8-12 about a less
than perfect boy, this book will inspire any child who's ever
secretly thought they might be less than perfect too.
Kevin never smiles at school, but he is different at home. He jumps
up and down when his favorite football team scores a touchdown, and
screams "CANNONBALL!" when he jumps into the swimming pool. But at
school he feels that he isn't 'okay.' Other kids in his class are
much quicker at putting their hands up and answering the teacher's
questions, and Kevin feels that he will never catch up. One day,
his reading teacher asks him to help out with the school store, and
Kevin slowly begins to realise that he had really been 'a okay' all
along. Through providing an insight into Kevin's thoughts, feelings
and coping strategies, this picture book for ages 5-8 is a source
of support for children who, like Kevin, find school difficult and
feel that they are 'behind' their peers. The book, which draws on
the author's experiences as the principal of an elementary school,
is also the perfect springboard for discussion around difficulties
at school, academic ability, self-esteem, confidence and
recognising strengths.
