by Sara ZarrFrom award-winning author Sara Zarr comes a gorgeously crafted and deeply personal story about a young girl, her alcoholic mother, and the hope that ties them together.Krya has always felt like she’s a bit too much. Too tall. Too loud. Too earnest. But she’s okay with that, because she’s got her mom. Ever since Mom got sober about five years ago, she and Kyra have always been there for each other—something Kyra is thankful for every week when she attends her group meetings with other kids of alcoholics. When Mom is managing her cleaning business and Kyra is taking care of things at home, maybe, she thinks, she’s not too much. Maybe, she’s just enough.Then seventh grade starts, and everything Kyra used to be able to count on feels unsure. Kyra’s best friend, Lu, is hanging out with eighth graders, and Mom is unusually distant. When Mom starts missing work, sleeping in, and forgetting things, Kyra doesn’t dare say “relapse." But soon not saying that word means not saying anything at all—to Lu or to her support group. And when Kyra suspects that her worst fears might be real, she starts to question whether being just enough is not enough at all.With sensitivity and candor, acclaimed author Sara Zarr tells a heartfelt, personal story about finding hope in even the most difficult places, and love in even the most complicated relationships.

Körper erzählen: Embodiment in Kinder- und Jugendmedien (Studien zu Kinder- und Jugendliteratur und -medien #14)
by Christine Lötscher Andre Kagelmann Heidi LexeKörper und Körperlichkeit werden auf vielfältige Art und Weise in Kinder- und Jugendmedien narrativiert, inszeniert und (re-)präsentiert: Das Spektrum reicht von sexualmoralischen (Selbst-)Beschränkungen der Kinderliteratur über die Vielfalt der Körperentdeckung in Aufklärungsbüchern, über Tabuisierungen und Normierungen von Sexualität und deren emanzipatorischer Infragestellung bis hin zu adoleszenten Normtransgressionen. Erweitert wird diese Variationsbreite in der All-Age-Literatur und in der Fantastik durch Figurationen toter oder untoter Körper sowie durch auf den Körper fokussierte Mensch-Tier-Beziehungen. In vier Abteilungen versammelt der Band Beiträge, die Körperdiskurse in unterschiedlichen Genres der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur sowie im Kinder- und Jugendtheater analysieren. Der Körper wird dabei im Kontext von Normierungen, De-Kategorisierungen und Performanzen, von Einschreibungen, Markierungen und Entgrenzungen, im Kontext von Kollektiven, Sozionarrativen und Transformationsprozessen sowie von Sexualisierung, Gewalt und (Un-)Doing Gender befragt. Dabei werden der erzählte Körper und der darstellende, respektive erzählende Bild- und Textkörper stets in Bezugnahme aufeinander befragt, sodass die Verschränkung literarästhetischer Aspekte mit der Vielfalt des (medialen) Embodiment sichtbar gemacht wird.
L Is For Lonestar: A Texas Alphabet (Discover America State By State Ser.)
by Carol Crane Alan StacyThere are enough special people, wildlife, and natural wonders in the Lone Star State to fill several alphabet books, and Sleeping Bear Press has picked out the finest to represent Texas in "L is for Lone Star: A Texas Alphabet." Author Carol Crane has worked for twenty-five years reviewing, lecturing and enjoying children's literature. She is a respected national educational presenter, speaking at state and regional reading conventions across the United States. As a historian, Carol loves to read all historical markers.

His father Fearl, an Air Force pilot and officer, took the family to Germany, Virginia, Alaska and New Mexico before settling in Texas in 1975. The time they spent outdoors siteseeing, camping and hiking in the American West and Pacific Northwest instilled within Alan a profound love of animals and nature, which is reflected in his art.

L'America dei pionieri E le bambine facevano la torta di mele
by Amber Richards GraziaAgile testo educativo sulla vita di una bambina all’epoca dei pionieri d’America. Descrive le fasi dell’apprendimento di vari aspetti della vita, con un particolare riguardo per i lavori di cucina. È destinato principalmente a bambine dagli otto ai tredici anni, a seconda dell’abitudine alla lettura e degli interessi individuali. Il testo è corredato da fotografie e disegni, per aiutare a visualizzare i tempi a cui si riferisce. La vita dei pionieri è illustrata in maniera molto realistica, attraverso la descrizione degli utensili, delle attrezzature e dei procedimenti per ottenere gli ingredienti da cucinare e per conservare cibi e derrate alimentari senza la refrigerazione. Ciò che mi auguro come autrice di questo lavoro è fornire alle bambine di oggi uno strumento pratico e diretto per entrare in contatto con l’inizio della storia americana e comprenderne lo spirito. A tal fine nel corso del testo sono poste in evidenza le differenze fra la vita di oggi e quella dei pionieri. Il libro termina con un progetto di lavoro in cui si propone alle giovani lettrici di cercare di replicare, con l’assistenza di un adulto, le fasi necessarie per cucinare una torta di mele e dei biscotti seguendo due ricette quanto più simili possibile a quelle cha usavano le loro coetanee di due o tre secoli fa. Questo progetto di lavoro potrebbe essere adottato anche nelle scuole come esercitazione da svolgere a casa. Scaricate adesso la vostra copia.
L'Approccio Umanistico alla Felicità
by Jennifer Hancock Stefania BaetiiSaresti meravigliato di scoprire come può essere semplice la vita se fai dall'etica una priorità! Questo libro ti sta praticamente dicendo: questa è l'etica personale e questi sono i motivi per cui è importante; questa è la modalità di applicarla nella vita quotidiana ed è per questo che, così facendo, potrai vivere una vita più felice e produttiva. La vita non è facile. È una sfida continua. Come affrontiamo queste sfide determina il nostro successo nella vita. Se vuoi capire meglio come ragionare in maniera efficace sulle scelte che ti tocca fare, questo libro ti aiuterà. L'Approccio Umanistico alla Felicità è stato concepito come strumento per incoraggiare i giovani a pensare e a mettere in discussione i valori e l'etica personale, applicandoli alle prese di decisione quotidiane. In altre parole, come possono dare il meglio di se stessi come persone etiche. Come fanno ad essere etici con i loro amici? E perché dovrebbero? Quali sono i valori a cui rapportarsi quando devono decidere se fare o no uso di droghe e di alcol? Come e perché dovremmo essere etici quando usciamo con una persona o quando ci lasciamo? Come possiamo applicare a noi stessi questi valori durante un grande dolore? E, la cosa principale, perché tutto questo ha importanza?
