This is a book about mindfulness. About relishing the magic of the here and now. About enjoying the extraordinary unfoldings of an ordinary day. Moving from morning to night, the narrator becomes, by turns, boy or girl, of ever-changing ethnicity and ability, inhabiting city, country, or suburb. They are all children everywhere, opening themselves to the gift of time.

On a sunny spring day in Healdsburg, California, a special group of preschool children found a tiny house built into the trunk of a tree. A mystery was born! "Who lives in that house?" they began to wonder... Through the imagination and innocence found only in children, the letter-writing mouse called Twitch came to life. This story is inspired by the true story of a special teacher who longed to revive creative play and see where her students would take the story. Get ready for a lovable mouse and an amazing journey!

Social Studies Methods in Elementary Education is based on the belief that effective social studies education is a necessary step in promoting understanding of, and participation in, democratic societies. The material in the text prepares future elementary school teachers to provide their students this effective education. This unique text addresses three fundamental questions to be considered when making instructional planning and delivery decisions: the question of what knowledge base students possess in order to approach varying levels of knowledge; the question of why social studies should be taught and learned, which helps to select relevant teaching materials and learning activities; and the question of how students should be taught, which is the essence of a method course. The book provides samples, examples, unit plan assignments, and reading resources as models for students to follow. Social Studies Methods in Elementary Education is thought provoking, insightful, and user friendly. The book is an excellent resource for students who plan to teach at the elementary level, and who will be responsible for educating the next generation about the relevance of social studies in their lives and the importance of their participation in civil society.

This is a book for people who sell (whether they know it or not). It's for people who own their own business and people who are just starting out. It's a book about communication and relationships, which means that you can use it to connect with your customers, bosses, employees, children, and parents, too. If you volunteer for a cause you're passionate about, or if you've got a great idea but you don't know how to start marketing it, this book will help you. This book is for entrepreneurs, politicians, venture capitalists, students, job-seekers, and retirees looking for a new beginning. In short, it's a sales and marketing book for everyone-because every one of us is selling and marketing all the time. Any time you try to persuade someone else to your point of view, you are selling something. Any time you need to get your message across to others, you're a marketer. Even if you aren't a professional salesperson, your livelihood, even your quality of life, may depend on how well you sell. And it will almost certainly depend on the substance and quality of your interactions and relationships with other people-your ability to listen. That's why this book is for you.
