Sitting Bull famously defeated the US Cavalry led by General Custer
at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. A wise and fearless
warrior Sitting Bull was the last Indian to surrender to the US
government. The speech bubbles and strip cartoon-style
illustrations of the graphic novel create a dynamic format that
encourages readers to engage with the characters and get involved
in the story. Opening pages provide historical context about the
Great Plains - the harsh climate and the Buffalo herds that roamed
there; the Sioux Nation and their tribal lands; and the drive
westward by white settlers. Closing pages relate the end of Indian
resistance and the final defeat of the Sioux tribe at the Battle of
Wounded Knee, and how the Sioux Indians live today. This work also
includes a glossary, index and recommended further reading. It
supports KS2 History: 'a world history study' and helps achieve the
goals of the Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14.

Meditation and visualisation, if approached in an inventive and
appealing manner, bring enormous benefits to children. It can calm
their anxieties, build their self-esteem, unlock their imagination,
and teach them quietness and thoughtfulness. This book, designed
for parents to use with any child between the ages of 4 and 8, is a
collection of 20 narrative-based meditations. Reading the stories
aloud, we draw the child into adventures which fire their
imagination. In this way we help the child focus their minds,
release their worries, believe in themselves and trust in the world
around them. All the stories sensitively tackle difficult
challenges facing small children, such as how to cope with
disappointment, how to make good decisions, how to deal with
anxieties and how to banish boredom. Each of the meditations is
both enjoyable, as a fantasy, and effective, like a gentle hand
smoothing wrinkles from tiny furrowed brows.
Nightlights is a book of stories to read to children, but stories
with a difference. It's a collection of twenty interactive
meditation stories that have bene specially written to calm and
relax your child at bedtime, while at the same time engaging and
stimulating his or her imagination. These stories also help
children in many other important ways. They help them to focus
their minds and develop their powers of concentration and
visualization, as well as learn more about emotions and feelings.
Although not meditations in the strict sense, they do serve as a
good preparation for learning real meditation later on. They also
foster imagination and creativity, help children deal with their
burgeoning anxieties, and help them take their first steps towards
developing their own unique identity. In the Introduction, Civardi
provides techniques to help parents develop their out-loud reading
skills, shows how to create the right mood, and gives practical
advice on how to talk with your child about what he or she has just
heard. After each story, there is a brief list of affirmations
which help to settle the message in the minds of both parent and
child.

index. These titles are sure to be received warmly by students,
teachers, and librarians alike. Ambitious, ruthless, shrewd, cruel,
and intelligent are a few of the words that have been used to

empires. This richly illustrated graphic novel takes readers on a
journey to the ancient world where political intrigue and military
might gave birth not only to the rise of Caesar but also to his
