Beetle gives Stick Insect an attention-grabbing coat for his
birthday - but is that what Stick Insect really wants? A delightful
story about friends learning to understand each other. It's almost
Stick Insect's birthday, and his fashionable friend Beetle can't
wait to give him his present - a purple puffy coat! The coat draws
a lot of attention and makes Stick Insect really stick out in the
crowd. Beetle thinks that's terrific! He takes Stick Insect all
over town, happily boasting and bragging (while Stick Insect waits

This true story of a woman whose brilliance and mechanical
expertise helped Britain win World War II is sure to inspire STEM
readers and fans of amazing women in history. Beatrice Shilling
wasn’t quite like other children. She could make anything. She
could fix anything. And when she took a thing apart, she put it
back together better than before. When Beatrice left home to study
engineering, she knew that as a girl she wouldn’t be quite like
the other engineers – and she wasn’t. She was better. Still, it
took hard work and perseverance to persuade the Royal Aircraft
Establishment to give her a chance. But when World War II broke out
and British fighter pilots took to the skies in a desperate
struggle for survival against Hitler’s bombers, it was clearly
time for new ideas. Could Beatrice solve an engine puzzle and help
Britain win the war? American author Mara Rockliff and British
illustrator Daniel Duncan team up for a fresh look at a turning
point in modern history – and the role of a remarkable woman
whose ingenuity, persistence, and way with a wrench (or spanner)
made her quite unlike anyone else. An author’s note and a list of
selective sources provide additional information for curious
readers.

When a lonely fisherman finds an injured bird on his boat, he
nurtures it back to health and since the bird can no longer migrate
with its family charts a course to head south for the winter.
Together, the two form a special friendship and enjoy life at sea

new beginnings and the freedom in coming home.

The application of assessment frameworks hinges on human qualities
and skills which are naturally prone to bias and inconsistency.
Making Sense of Child and Family Assessment aims to support workers
in analysing and making sense of the information gathered, and
increasing accuracy and empathy in assessing the needs and risks
for vulnerable children and young people. This book offers best
practice guidance on how to analyse information gathered during the
assessment of children and young people and their families. Good
assessments take time and need to be appropriately resourced. A
range of analytical tools are also needed if practitioners are to
present assessments of children's needs which lead to meaningful
care plans and improved outcomes. Helm introduces the key messages
emerging from policy and research, and provides insights into
today's multi-disciplinary practice. Professionals working in child
welfare and protection roles, such as social workers, health
visitors, midwives and teachers will find this practical guide to
analysis invaluable in interpreting needs and outcomes.
