A tender, poetic picture book about a military family experiencing
happiness, heartache, and learning to grow through change "Changes
come and changes go. Love through changes makes love grow." When
her mother is deployed overseas, a young girl is temporarily parted
from her beloved dog. Told in spare yet lyrical verse, this picture
book shares a powerful message about the different ways we show
love, from giving, to growing together, to sometimes letting go.
But don't worry, this pet story has a happy ending.
Known for a tradition of Confucian filial piety, East Asian
societies have some of the oldest and most rapidly aging
populations on earth. Today these societies are experiencing
unprecedented social challenges to the filial tradition of adult
children caring for aging parents at home. Marshalling mixed
methods data, this volume explores the complexities of aging and
caregiving in contemporary East Asia. Questioning romantic visions
of a senior's paradise, chapters examine emerging cultural meanings
of and social responses to population aging, including caregiving
both for and by the elderly. Themes include traditional ideals
versus contemporary realities, the role of the state, patterns of
familial and non-familial care, social stratification, and
intersections of caregiving and death. Drawing on ethnographic,
demographic, policy, archival, and media data, the authors trace
both common patterns and diverging trends across China, Hong Kong,
Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, and Korea.

Just in time for Easter, a moving exploration of hope, from its
resilient roots to its sprouting—and surprising!—possibilities.
When Eva's hopes for a cheerful flower garden are dashed by a
rascally—and hungry! —rabbit, she sinks into despair. But it's
from this new vantage point that she discovers something surprising
and wonderful about her four-legged-nemesis that reminds Eva of her
own growing family and inspires her to try again. Told in sweet,
lyrical verse, and accompanied by the tenderest
illustrations, Hope is a Hop shares a powerful message and the
heart-tugging illustrations and bunny rabbit motif make it a
natural pick for Easter gifting.
