Little Mabel is an expert at not going to sleep. She knows all the
best bedtime-avoiding excuses. "I'm thirsty." "I need to use the
bathroom." "Will you tell me a story?" Luckily, Mom's quiver of
bedtime tales includes the story of the Fae Queen, who paints
children's dreams and can only visit when their eyes are closed.
Inspired by Mercutio's soliloquy in Romeo & Juliet, in which he
details how the tiny fairy queen influences people's dreams as she
passes by in her flying chariot, the soothing story evokes images
of an ant in a worn gray coat and a hazelnut-shell chariot with a
roof of grasshopper wings. Told in lyrical language that adults
will also appreciate, the story helps parents get their kids to
sleep. For ages 0-6.
In this hilarious breastfeeding tell-all, the newly titled reissue
of How My Breasts Saved the World, Lisa Wood Shapiro recounts her
misadventures of new motherhood from the delivery of her daughter
and her rookie days as a food source to the bittersweet end of
weaning. This may be the information age, but so much of nursing
and new motherhood know-how still exists in the smart gal's rumor
culture. Only after Shapiro shares her own saga, complete with
lactation consultants, chocolate binges, and a new use for green
cabbage, do her friends and relatives confess to their own
travails. New motherhood always happens to the childless, but it is
not always instinctual, and one doesn't have to go it alone. There
are professionals who can make it work without pain, and it does
get easier. Whether or not your breasts have been involved in any
world-saving activities, you won't be able to put this book down
until you've read the last line.
The Human Hotel compares the body to a hotel. Reggie, a
fun-spirited, hard working red blood cell, is your travel guide
through this adventure. This book will captivate the attention of
young readers and subtly deliver an educational message.
Conversations with children about stranger danger, bullying, and
inappropriate touching need not be frightening or intimidating,
especially if parents and children talk about strategies for coping
with these issues before they happen. Footnotes, in the form of a
ball, bounce from page to page and signal parents to refer to the
back of the book for inspiration and information about dialoguing
with young children about these important issues. There is even a
recipe for a healthy snack that parents and children can prepare
together. Okay With Me is fun-to-read. Written in rhythm and rhyme
and complimented by soft whimsical illustrations, this book serves
as a valuable teaching tool for those who love and care for young
children.
"These well-organized, informative units will give students

and stirs a sense of adventure. Book 1 focuses on the tide pool
ecosystem. Grades K-2
"How My Breasts Saved the World is mother's milk for any new mama
struggling with confounding transformation from woman into human
canteen."--"Vanity Fair
"Refreshingly hysterical. Any woman can benefit from Shapiro's
hard-won education."--"BUST magazine
"Shapiro's memoir . . . offers a welcome real-life complement to
weightier breastfeeding advice."--"Brain, Child magazine
