Eight Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success: What to Do and What to Say to Turn "Failures" into Character-Building Moments
by Michelle IcardTurn common adolescent missteps, from relationship blunders to rebellions that backfire, into character-building moments—by the author of Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen. &“This clear-eyed, practical, fun-to-read guide is an essential read for every parent.&”—Lisa Damour, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Untangled, Under Pressure, and The Emotional Lives of TeenagersEvery child messes up, sometimes in ways that seem sure to wreck their futures: a bad report card, poor sportsmanship, underaged drinking. These are tough moments for parent and child alike, often complicated by the fear that the misstep is also an indictment of our parenting. But what each of these &“fails&” has in common for our kids is the precious silver lining of a chance for character building and developing more grit—if we help them process their mistake well.An invaluable playbook for anxious parents everywhere, Eight Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success offers specific and unexpected advice about what to say, what not to say, and what to do to help children in eight categories of tense situations. Distilled from Michelle Icard&’s decades of experience working with tweens, teenagers, and families, it also introduces her signature three-step approach to any kind of failure:• Contain: Affirm your child, gather the facts, and control the narrative.• Resolve: Explain what went wrong, define clear consequences, teach them to apologize well, and develop a plan to rebuild trust. • Evolve: Reaffirm and re-expand their rights, and establish rewards for good behaviors. With empathy, insight, and optimism, Michelle Icard&’s advice ensures that a child&’s mistake or rebellion doesn&’t become the headline of their childhood, but instead becomes a launch pad to a better future.

El Blanco: The Legend of the White Stallion
by Rutherford MontgomeryThe ancient people of Mexico were Indians. Long before the temple was built, they told stories of a white god who would appear some day, mounted on a strange beast. And when the Spaniard Hernando Cortez came to their country, they believed he was the white god. They had never seen a horse, and they believed that Cortez's white stallion was also a kind of god. Cortez encouraged these beliefs. El Blanco had become lame, and Cortez left the horse with the village priests. He would return for it later, after the lameness was cured. That same day a furious storm came up, ending a long drought. The priests thought that El Blanco had brought the rains, and they called him the master of storm and lightning. Knowing nothing about horses, they fed him the spiced food they ate themselves and gave him wine to drink. El Blanco soon sickened and died. The priests then built the temple, and within it, on a block of stone, they placed a statue of the white stallion. They prayed to it and made offerings to it. They were sure that if a long drought came again, El Blanco would return, bringing the rain. On the walls of the temple they painted three pictures. The first showed Cortez delivering the lame stallion to them. The second showed El Blanco summoning the storm. The third showed the life-sized statue. In time the people gave up their gods and became Christians. The statue was smashed. But the three pictures, scarred and mossy, remain to this day--and so does the legend of the white stallion that brings the rain. Little rain had fallen for several seasons. The corn has withered, and most of the wells and springs were dry. It is time for El Blanco to return, and bring back the rain.

Eleanor Cameron: Dimensions of Amazement
by Paul V. AllenEleanor Cameron (1912-1996) was an innovative and genre-defying author of children's fiction and children's literature criticism. From her beginnings as a librarian, Cameron went on to become a prominent and respected voice in children's literature, writing one of the most beloved children's science fiction novels of all time, The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet, and later winning the National Book Award for her time fantasy The Court of the Stone Children.In addition, Eleanor Cameron played an often vocal role in critical debates about children's literature. She was one of the first authors to take up literary criticism of children's novels and published two influential books of criticism, including The Green and Burning Tree. One of Cameron's most notable acts of criticism came in 1973, when she wrote a scathing critique of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Dahl responded in kind, and the result was a fiery imbroglio within the pages of the Horn Book Magazine. Yet despite her many accomplishments, most of Cameron's books went out of print by the end of her life, and her star faded.This biography aims to reinsert Cameron into the conversation by taking an in-depth look at her tumultuous early life in Ohio and California, her unforgettably forceful personality and criticism, and her graceful, heartfelt novels. The biography includes detailed analysis of the creative process behind each of her published works and how Cameron's feminism, environmentalism, and strong sense of ethics are reflected in and represented by her writings. Drawn from over twenty interviews, thousands of letters, and several unpublished manuscripts in her personal papers, Eleanor Cameron is a tour of the most exciting and creative periods of American children's literature through the experience of one of its valiant purveyors and champions.
