Remind Me Again demonstrates a powerful, yet simple, way for
children to keep the memory of a beloved grandparent alive-bedtime
stories celebrating the unique qualities of the grandparent and how
those qualities live on in the life of the child. As you read this
book to your children or grandchildren, let it be a beginning point
of conversation about the death of someone close to them. Ask the
child to recall a favorite time with that person, and then fill in
the blanks with true stories they can relate to and will bring fond
memories. Grief is the price we pay for love. It is inescapable.
Children, as well as adults, need constructive ways to cope with
grief. Remind Me Again will help grieving children redirect their
thoughts to memories they can cherish. - Diane Pearson, Author of
God in the Midst of Grief: 101 True Stories of Comfort

True Stories of Comfort
Shining Through a Social Storm is written and illustrated by kids
and part of Reflections Publishing's "Kids Helping Kids Through
Books" series. Shining Through a Social Storm specifically
addresses the emotions that children experience from getting
bullied, receiving peer abuse, or experiencing cyberbullying. The
fiction stories in this series are written and illustrated from the
fresh perspective of kids. With the stories written by child
authors, child readers who are going through a difficult time can
read these stories and have their feelings validated. By connecting
with the children through a fiction story, it simply provides a
start for the healing process. Because true healing requires a
broad focus on emotional, educational, social, and even spiritual
needs, this series also provides a non-fiction section for children
(and parents) with the tools they need to navigate through these
situations. Specifically, at the back of each book in this series,
readers will find commentaries for dealing with difficult
situations from experts in various fields (e.g., child
psychologists, educators, therapists, and religious scholars). We
believe this series will provide children with valuable tools to
assist them in dealing with many real-life challenges. Description
of Shining Through a Social Storm: 13-year-old, Jayden, embarks
upon a journey of self-empowerment and self-discovery, while facing
social pressures and unhealthy beliefs about what it means to be in
the popular clique-"The Crew." When the opportunity presents
itself, Jayden quickly abandons her true self and her best friends
to join the "The Crew." She promptly learns the mean nature of the
clique, which involves gossiping, back stabbing, spreading rumors
and bullying-the complete opposite of what she thought being "in"
was all about. Throughout the story, Jayden digs down deep to find
her authenticity, and along the way discovers an unknown power
within herself. From "the inside out," Jayden navigates her way
back through the social challenges of relational aggression.
Reviews: "A unique series for children, by children." -Booklist
"This story pulled me right into the world of peer pressure and
bullying among girls yet at the same time modeling positive,
practical ideas to manage these situations. The guidelines that
follow have something for everyone. I particularly liked Dr.
O'Donnell's scripts depicting how our usual approaches, while well
intended, might fall flat, and giving alternative ideas to try out.
This kind of book is a must read for parents, kids, school
counselors, and anyone helping to support the healthy development
of our youth." - Josh Feder, M.D., Child and Family Psychiatrist
Director of Research, Graduate School The Interdisciplinary Council
on Developmental and Learning Disorders "This book is a must read
for the many parents, teachers and professionals who struggle with
finding ways to guide teenagers through the challenging social
world of adolescence. The book is filled with practical tips and
positive messages that are easy to understand and implement
immediately for teenagers and parents trying to navigate through
difficult social situations. A tool box filled with wisdom and
hope." - Mara S Goverman, LCSW Parent and Child/Adolescent

normal seventh grade girl with a big problem: Brenda Johnson.
Brenda and her sidekicks-Tess and Taylor-have made school a
miserable place for Alice. Whether it's nasty teasing or full blown
attacks, Alice lives in a state of constant humiliation. She dreads
going to school, has many sleepless nights and, try as she might,
Alice just can't seem to escape being the target of Brenda's
aggression. But when Miss Krissa announces try-outs for the
school's spring show, Alice is overjoyed. That is, of course, until
Brenda gets involved. Join Alice as she navigates through the
terrain of homework, bullying, and early adolescence. And
maybe-with a little help from friends, teachers, and parents-she
can come out the other side.
