Pablo and Birdy
by Alison Mcghee Ana JuanA boy who drifted into the seaside town of Isla as a baby searches for answers about where he and his parrot came from in this charmer of a tale laced with magical realism from New York Times bestselling author Alison McGhee.The seaside town of Isla has many stories, the most notable being the legend of the Seafaring Parrot. Locals claim that the Seafarer remembers every sound, every whisper, cry, laugh, or snort ever uttered. But, though there have been rumored Seafarer sightings, no one has actually seen the bird before. Other stories surround a boy named Pablo, who had washed up on shore in a blow-up swimming pool as an infant with only a lavender parrot as a companion. Now, on the eve of his tenth birthday, the stories are repeated. “At first I thought it was a huge fish,” Emmanuel, the man who found and took Pablo in, says. Pierre, the baker’s guess was a good one: Perhaps Pablo has come from an undiscovered country, one unknown to the rest of the world. Maybe the inhabitants there lived in tree houses, or underground. Or maybe he’s a pirate baby. But Pablo wants the truth, and the only one who might know it is Birdy, his parrot. After all, she was there, holding onto the raft. But unlike most birds who live in Isla, Birdy can neither talk or fly. Or, at least, she never has. Until…one day, when strong winds begin to blow—winds similar to the ones that brought Pablo to shore—Birdy begins to mutter. Could Birdy be a Seafaring parrot? If she is, then she will be able to tell Pablo the true story of where he came from—of who tied him so lovingly and safely to that raft? But, if she is, that also means the second part of the Seafarer myth is true…that Seafaring Parrots will, eventually, fly away. As Pablo is buzzing with questions, hopes, and fears, an old saying echoes in his mind: winds of change mean fortune lost or fortune gained. And while the winds rise in Isla, Pablo holds tight to Birdy. Would losing his companion, his dearest link to his past, be that loss?

Pacho Nacho
by Silvia LópezMama and Papa could not agree on a name for their first baby, and everyone in the family had an opinion. That's how the name Pacho-Nacho-Nico-Tico-Melo-Felo-Kiko-Rico came to be, and Pacho's parents insisted that everyone use his full name. But when Pacho finds himself in trouble, his younger brother, Juan, must quickly find help, which isn't easy when you have to keep saying Pacho-Nacho-Nico-Tico-Melo-Felo-Kiko-Rico. Author Silvia Lopez highlights family values, community connections, and brotherly love in this interactive, energetic, and silly picture book. Pacho Nacho is based on an old Japanese folktale and includes Spanish words and phrases and multicultural settings.
Pacific Power & Light: Poems
by Michael DickmanThe award-winning poet returns to his homeplace in the Pacific Northwest, where the neighborhood simmers with the chemical presence of human trouble and sparks of beauty coexist with danger.This image-driven, sound-driven collection carries us to the working-class Portland neighborhood of Lents, where Dickman was raised by a single mother. Here, as a skateboarding boy practices his kickflip on the street, enlightenment simmers under the surface of both the natural world and the human constructions that threaten it. The rivers shrinking to a trickle, the unaddressed crisis of homelessness, the drug use in a local park: these run side by side with the efforts and structures of families, created mostly by working mothers, with their jumbled bottomless purses and full-time jobs; Dickman&’s own mother worked at the power company of the title, PP&L. His exquisite, ultrareal narratives take us down through these layers, illuminating the way we&’ve treated and should treat one another, seeking integrity and understanding in the midst of a broken world.
Pacify Me
by Chris ManciniYou're having a baby. That's it. Game over, man. Life as you know it is done. Go ahead, freak out. Comic Chris Mancini was terrified of his impending fatherhood. But soon after throwing up upon seeing the little blue line, he realized that most expectant dads sometimes feel nervous, depressed, or powerless -- like a new baby is guy-kryptonite. Chris has been there and survived it. He'll talk you off the ledge. Naturally, you have plenty of questions: How many diapers will I really have to change? Will I ever have sex again? When should I mention that new 50-inch LCD television I want? Is it okay to play Grand Theft Auto while I hold my kid? Aren't there robots that can do most of this stuff by now? From fearing the ovulation kit, to leaving your child with a complete stranger when you go back to work, to the best and worst parts of being a parent, to wondering if Dr. Spock really is like Mr. Spock, Pacify Me is full of honest, hilarious, and insightful advice for new dads. Like, if you screw up a little the first time you're alone with the baby, it's not as if she's going to tattle. And babies love the mall. The truth is, the anxiety leading up to your child's birth is way worse than the anxiety of actually having a child. Soon you'll discover that the joy of experiencing life through innocent new eyes more than makes up for having to send your inner teenager to bed before midnight, unless there's something cool on Adult Swim.

Packaging Boyhood: Saving Our Sons from Superheroes, Slackers, and Other Media Stereotypes
by Sharon Lamb Lyn Mikel Brown Mark TappanPlayer. Jock. Slacker. Competitor. Superhero. Goofball. Boys are besieged by images in the media that encourage slacking over studying; competition over teamwork; power over empowerment; and being cool over being yourself. From cartoons to video games, boys are bombarded with stereotypes about what it means to be a boy, including messages about violence, risk-taking, and perfecting an image of just not caring. Straight from the mouths of over 600 boys surveyed from across the U.S., the authors offer parents a long, hard look at what boys are watch ing, reading, hearing, and doing. They give parents advice on how to talk with their sons about these troubling images and provide them with tools to help their sons resist these mes sages and be their unique selves.
Packaging Girlhood: Rescuing Our Daughters From Marketers' Schemes
by Sharon Lamb Lyn Mikel BrownThe stereotype-laden message, delivered through clothes, music, books, and TV, is essentially a continuous plea for girls to put their energies into beauty products, shopping, fashion, and boys.

Lamb and Brown teach parents how to understand these influences, give them guidance on how to talk to their daughters about these negative images, and provide the tools to help girls make positive choices about the way they are in the world. In the tradition of books like Reviving Ophelia, Odd Girl Out, Queen Bees, and Wannabees that examine the world of girls, this book promises to not only spark debate but help parents to help their daughters.

Inspirado con su singular franqueza y espíritu práctico, cada capítulo explora un aspecto diferente del ser padres; desde romper cadenas generacionales de la disfunción hasta crear un ambiente cálido en el hogar, tratar cuestiones de disciplina y bendecir a nuestros hijos con un legado de fe.

Padres extraordinarios: Secretos de éxito para padres de adelescentes (Especialidades Juveniles)
by Mark MatlockHoy en día, las familias cristianas se encuentran atascadas muchas veces entre dos historias: la historia de su propia familia y la historia de Dios. Es como si estuvieran viviendo dos vidas: su vida cristiana y su vida en el “mundo real”. La solución a este problema consiste en descubrir la manera de hacer que la historia de tu familia entre en alineación con la historia de Dios en el mundo que nos rodea, de manera que te ayude a criar unos hijos que tengan el carácter, los valores y la misión que les permitan salir al mundo real y vivir una fe genuina. Padres extraordinarios es un libro sobre la formación de los hijos que te ayudará a ser dinámico, en lugar de actuar a base de reacciones, cuando se trata de educar a los jovencitos cristianos en un mundo que está lleno de contradicciones que se oponen a una vida de fe. En lugar de tratar de formar unos hijos que sean solo “buenos cristianos”, encontrarás aquí las herramientas que te ayudarán a manifestar en tu vida una fe que les permita a tus hijos ver lo que significa vivir como cristianos. Como resultado de esto, aprenderán lo que es la fe genuina, porque la estarán viviendo junto contigo. Mark Matlock, experto en culturas y veterano pastor de jóvenes, te ayudará a analizar cuestiones como las siguientes: • Cómo ayudar a tu hijo a tomar decisiones • La importancia de los fracasos • Cómo conocer la historia que tiene Dios para tu familia • Cómo hacer un cambio en la historia actual de tu familia • Cómo buscar la sabiduría, y mucho más. Dios nos ha puesto aquí para interactuar con el mundo y representarlo ante él, a base de relacionarte con la cultura, en lugar de apartarte de ella. En vez de tratar de aislar del mundo a tus hijos, o establecer unas barreras que les impidan relacionarse realmente con el mundo que Dios nos ha llamado a ayudar y sanar, aquí podrás aprender a guiar a tu familia hacia una vida integrada, en la cual la historia de la familia y la historia de Dios se unan para marcar una diferencia en el mundo que los rodea.
