Meet Joseph - Joseph is curious to understand more about
forgiveness. He lost his sister's brand new football. Although she
forgave him, he feels really bad. Can he forgive himself? He told
his friend Billy a big secret, but Billy has betrayed his trust and
told other kids at school. Should he forgive Billy, especially when
he is yet to say sorry? Joseph's friend George is being bullied at
school by Jasper. If George forgives Jasper, could Jasper go on to
bully others in the future? This illustrated book is the ideal
conversation starter for children aged 7+ to explore what
forgiveness means, what it is and isn't and when it might and might
not be appropriate.
Meet Sam. Like most kids his age, Sam loves sport. His class have
arranged a special football match to raise money for a charity
which helps children who are suffering. Sam finds out more about
how the money is spent and asks his mum for this week's pocket
money early, so he can donate to the charity. His mum says he does
this because he's such a kind boy. But when he asks his teachers
about it at school the next day, they say it's because he's
compassionate. Sam now has lots of questions about what this means.
What is compassion? How can we become more compassionate? And what
effects - both good and bad - does being compassionate have? Join
Sam as he learns answers to these, and many more, questions about
this important part of character education.
Meet Chelsea - a young girl who was adopted. Chelsea invites you to
learn about adoption from her perspective and introduces us to two
friends of hers who were also transracially adopted. Chelsea and
her friends help children understand what it means to be adopted,
the experiences and challenges that follow the adoption process,
and how they can help. Accessible and informative, this illustrated
book is an ideal introduction to adoption for children aged 7-11
and is a great tool for encouraging discussions for families,
teachers and professionals working with adopted children.
Even though you can't see them, we all have feelings. Some feelings
are fluffy and make us feel good. Some are sharp and make us
unhappy. Sometimes we have fluffy and sharp feelings at the same
time! It's ok to have different types of feelings, but there are
some things we can do to let the sharp feelings out when they get
too big, or when we have too many. This picture book is ideal for
children aged 5-10 to help them understand why they might
experience different emotions, and what they can do to help them
manage their emotions in a positive way. Written in simple
language, this book will be an excellent tool for any child who
finds it difficult to understand their emotions, particularly those
with attachment difficulties, or a learning or developmental
disability.
Meet Maya. Maya always tries to be polite, and to remember to say
'thank you' but she wants to learn what it means to be truly
grateful. Should she be grateful to her teachers for their hard
work, even though they're only doing their job? Does she need to
say thank you for the gifts she doesn't really like - like the pink
scarf Nani gave her last birthday? And when Laura gives her some
earrings but later asks to copy her history project in return,
should Maya be grateful and give her the thank you letter she has
written? This illustrated book is an ideal conversation starter for
children aged 7+, helping them to understand what gratitude means,
recognise when it is appropriate, and develop their own ability to
be genuinely grateful.
Did you know that we humans are monitored by Mouseweb
International, a worldwide network of mice working undercover to
lend a paw whenever we need it most? This is the story of Lily Jane
Watson, a 13-year-old in desperate need of some help from the spies
at Mouseweb International Department 29 (MI29). Operating out of
the lost property cupboard at Abbotsford airport, Agent Windsor
Smith and his family devise a clever plot to come to her rescue.
But with Mr Clamp, the airport manager, laying traps and a crafty
gang of rats attempting to scupper their plans, will MI29 succeed?
Can technology, cunning, and courage change the world or will the
nasty rats take control? This action-packed story is perfect for
children aged 8+, including those affected by illness or
disability, and encourages community spirit and tolerance of
diversity and difference.
Meet Alfie - a young boy with asthma. Alfie invites readers to
learn about asthma from his perspective, describing how it feels to
have an asthma attack and what the common triggers are. He talks
about the challenges of having asthma and how important it is that
his friends and the people around him can recognise the signs when
he starts feeling short of breath and know how to help. Alfie also
gives simple instructions on using asthma inhalers and other
medical treatments. This illustrated book is full of useful
information and will be an ideal introduction for young people,
aged 7 upwards, as well as parents, friends, teachers and nurses.
It is also an excellent starting point for family and classroom
discussions.
