We have more than fifty versions of this wonderful poem in our
library; this is one of our favorites. Margaret Evans Price has a
gentle talent. The Santa Claus on the cover, and throughout, is one
of the kindest, least threatening Santas ever imagined. Notice how
his knees are slightly bent by the weight of his pack. See his big
and prominent boots. This is a Santa who is appealingly earth
bound. This is a facsimile of the 1917 edition. We have die-cut it,
as in the original, and the rounded top makes it especially
appealing. This is an ideal first Night Before Christmas for a
young child.
Praise for the previous edition: "The book brings together the work
of Margaret Evans, Paul Hardy and Peter Coombs to help you to
master the pastel medium. The three artists bring a good balance of
work to the book, with Peter Coombs and Paul Hardy covering
landscapes and townscapes, while Margaret Evans concentrates on
flowers. Sections on using a limited palette, composition, colour
mixing and colours for painting flowers, are interspersed with 13
demonstrations accompanied by good, clear step-by-step
photographs." - Leisure Painter This is a practical and
comprehensive guide for all soft pastel painting enthusiasts, from
the beginner to the experienced artist. It uses material from the
following titles in the Step-by-Step Leisure Arts series: Painting
with Pastels by Peter Coombs, Landscapes in Pastel by Paul Hardy,
Flowers in Pastel by Margaret Evans and Light in Pastel by Paul
Hardy. Starting with advice on materials, it moves on to pastel
basics such as blending, adding tone and using a limited palette.
There are sections on landscape painting featuring advice on
composition and painting trees and water, capturing light in
pastels with tips on colour mixing, and finally flower painting,
with additional information on adding water to pastels. Throughout
the book, the art of painting in pastels is taught through 13
beautiful, easy to follow step-by-step projects, and each section
is accompanied by a selection of inspirational paintings by the
three featured artists, in a rich variety of styles. Previously

Title IV-E of the Social Security Act provides federal support for
foster care and adoption assistance programs. Since 2008, 5 tribes
have been approved to operate their own title IV-E foster care
programs, although more than 80 tribes initially expressed an
interest in doing so. The Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) provides development grants and technical assistance to
tribes interested in establishing a title IV-E program. This book
examines obstacles facing tribes interested in directly operating a
title IV-E program; and the assistance HHS has provided. Under
title IV-E, states are entitled to open-ended reimbursement for the
cost of providing foster care, adoption assistance, and (in states
that choose to provide it) kinship guardianship assistance.
Additional mandatory funding is available, on a capped basis, for
services to youth who "age out" of foster care, or are expected to,
and for Tribal Title IV-E plan development and technical
assistance. The conclusion of this title provides information on
child welfare proposals under the Title IV-E program.
A classic Grimm's fairy tale in an appealing facsimile of a shaped
1916 edition. Hansel and Gretel tells the story of two siblings who
brave a night in the dark woods and cleverly defeata witch who
lives in an deliciously tempting gingerbread house. Margaret Evans
Price (1888-1973) was a prolific American illustrator of fairy
tales and children's stories. Her gentle yet archetypal style
achieves the right tension between the sweetness of the children
and their plight and the scariness of the witch and her fiendish
plans. Hansel and Gretel is the third title in the Green Tiger
series of facsimile reproductions of shape-cut children's picture
books. The previous two titles. The Night Before Christmas and The
Three Bears have proven to be very popular.

""What we have learned from Margaret about the impact of food
sensitivities has dramatically improved the overall health of our
two young sons and our entire family. Every parent would benefit
from this information. We will be forever grateful for her
support.""
--Johanna Sedin and her husband Henrik Sedin (captain of the
Vancouver Canucks)
Does your child have chronic health problems, such as
stomachaches, constipation, diarrhea, repeated infections,
excessive fatigue, bed wetting, or asthma, that are making life
challenging for both your child and your family?
Is your child's behavior making it difficult for them to develop
friendships at school or making them feel isolated and alone?
Are learning difficulties or disabilities resulting in your
child falling behind at school and feeling "stupid"?
"COULD IT REALLY BE SOMETHING THEY ATE?" offers practical advice
and support to identify the often hidden trigger food that can be
the cause of health, behavior, and learning challenges in children.
Once the trigger food is identified, Margaret leads parents through
an organized and practical approach to ensure their success and
offers a wealth of information on how to implement diet change in
the midst of a busy and often overwhelming family life.
