Kid seeks dog. Dog seeks kid. In this charming and imaginative tale
of friendship, picture book readers will delight in what it means
to have a furry best friend. For as long as she can remember, Joy
has wanted a dog. It doesn’t matter what kind: big, little,
spotted, curly. She wants one so fiercely, she makes dogs out of
snow, seashells, or whatever’s at hand! However, none of the dogs
Joy makes are quite what she yearns for. The seashell dog washes
away, and the snow dog melts into a puddle. Little does Joy know
that her perfect dog friend is just around the corner—wishing
just as fiercely for a kid—and waiting to be discovered.
Award-winning artist Hadley Hooper creates a world that is both
timeless and magical as she weaves ink, paint, and collages made
from vintage etchings together in a style that perfectly
complements the classic feel of Jump for Joy. Readers will rejoice
in this satisfying kid-meets-dog story, and will savor returning to
this world again and again.
This edited book will examine leisure in the lives of people with
dementia, emphasising the active role people with dementia can play
as citizens in contributing to the world in which they live, given
opportunities to make choices about their participation in
it. The content will be wide-ranging, with contributors from
multiple disciplines discussing involvement in leisure interests
and activities from sports and physical activity, and the arts, to
hobbies, games and crafts. Contributions will be shaped by
co-editors with experience in research and practice relevant to
dementia and leisure, one of whom is living with dementia. Its
structure and content will align with the needs of those studying
and working in nursing and dementia care, occupational therapy,
social work, arts therapies, arts, health and wellbeing, sports and
exercise, and gerontology.Â
The book begins with a quote found in Islamic and Jewish
traditions: Save one life, and it is as if youve saved all of
humanity. Todays problems between these two Abrahamic religions are
obvious, but there are moments of brotherhood. During the Nazi
occupation of France, Jews were being rounded up and sent to
concentration camps. One avenue of
refuge was the Grand Mosque in Paris, where Jewish adults and
children hid, some briefly until they could be spirited away,
others for longer stays. Thanks to the mosques rector, and
particularly Berbers from Algeria, many lives were saved. This is a
fascinating, little-known piece of history (the afterword explains
how difficult it was to research). The
authors sometimes try too hard to explain too much to a
middle-grade audience, but they effectively capture the desperation
felt by the victims and the enormous effort made by the resistance.
The evocative paintings in somber colors heighten the tension.
These fifteen cases take place in child welfare, mental health,
hospital, hospice, domestic violence, refugee resettlement,
veterans' administration, and school settings and reflect
individual, family, group, and supervised social work practice.
They confront common ethical and treatment issues and raise issues
regarding practice interventions, programs, policies, and laws.
Cases represent open-ended situations, encouraging students to
apply knowledge from across the social work curriculum to develop
problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. An instructor's
manual with teaching notes is available by emailing:
