Sy Montgomery has had many teachers in her life: some with two
legs, others with four, or even eight! Some have had fur, feathers,
or hooves. But they've all had one thing in common: a lesson to
share. The animals Sy has met on her many world travels have taught
her how to seek understanding in the most surprising ways, from
being patient to finding forgiveness and respecting others.
Gorillas, dogs, octopuses, tigers, and more all have shown Sy that
there are no limits to the empathy and joy we can find in each
other if only we take the time to connect. Based on the New York
Times best-selling adult memoir, Sy Montgomery and Rebecca Green's
beautiful, friendly guide is for readers young and old who wish to
be better creatures in the world. Go ahead, pass it on.

In this comprehensive and stimulating volume, the history of
medicine is approached from a variety of perspectives to develop a
well-rounded, objective overview. Historians examine the effects of
society on medicine and of medicine on society and trace
transformations in the the thought and practices of the medical and
allied professions. History of Medicine explores the practice and
philosophy of medicine--as it existed in ancient Greece and the
Middle Ages, shedding light on the religion, politics, and social
attitudes of those periods and as it existed until very recently in
the United States. This highly readable book provides a wealth of
information on the history of several significant social movements
in which the medical profession has played a dominant role in
influencing family life and values, including the dispensation of
knowledge about birth control, women's access to abortion, and the
advent of pediatric medicine and the well baby movement. Chapters
also examine the failure of the medical profession to consider the
historical context of diseases and treatments in understanding
diseases as they exist today and the conflict between doctors and
professional historians as to the accuracy and importance of the
existing history of medicine.

For years people have claimed to see a mysterious white deer in the woods around Chinaberry Creek. One evening, Eric Harper thinks he spots it. But a deer doesn't have a coat that shimmers like a pearl, or an ivory horn curling from its forehead. When Eric discovers the unicorn is hurt and being taken care of by the vet next door and her daughter, Allegra, his life is transformed. He's thrust into a world of magical creatures just as his world at home starts to crumble. A tender tale of love, loss, and the connections we make, The Unicorn in the Barn shows us that sometimes ordinary life can take extraordinary turns.

When Saoussan immigrated with her family from war-torn Lebanon, she
was only seven years old. This picture book tells the story of how
she had to adjust to her new home in Canada. She describes the

terrified of a Hallowe'en skeleton. This is the perfect book to
help kids empathize with immigrant children whose experiences are
very similar to Saoussan's.
