This Mom's Choice Award winner is garnering strong reviews from professionals, parents, and grandparents! "As a former Marriage and Family therapist I was impressed with the clarity with which Dr. Holmes outlines constructive approaches to problem behaviors in children." Dr. Rhona B. Conflicts and power struggles don't enhance relationships in families, schools, or the workplace - they destroy them. The purpose of this book is to show, through many detailed examples, 6 effective ways to lead children and adolescents in learning how to become responsible and caring people. Communication that leads us in the right direction is the key to effective relationships and that communication can be learned and taught! All learning is a process, so learning how to become responsible takes time. Each of the 6 ways requires parents to spend a lot of time interacting with their children, and each way may challenge them to change the way they presently communicate. This book exists because of Dr. Holmes' 2700 kids. Earning degrees in Education, Counseling, and Professional Development taught her what to do. Those kids taught her how to do it. The challenges, heartaches, and joys of working with children and adolescents inspired her to keep learning how to discipline in ways that develop caring relationships while continuing to hold kids accountable for their behavior. Whether a mentor, teacher, or parent, this multi award-winning book can help transform communication into a tool that makes peace, harmony, and productivity the everyday result for classrooms, boardrooms, and living rooms around the world.

When Maggie Tervo decided to launch her ancestral venture, she dropped any pretense of being the dutiful housewife. Unleashing new-found feminist sensibilities, Maggie estimated her existential search for meaning, power, activism-and her missing parents-was a four-hour drive to Canada and a few days digging through public records. Her estimate didn't contemplate murder, mayhem and high-wire acts. As a member of The Detroit Eight, one of the few grassroot civil rights groups to survive the Sixties, Maggie was finally ready to make her mark as an activist. She was less sure about Oz-the legendary, almost phantom, global human rights initiative. Without joining or declining, Maggie had subjugated her power to Oz for six years because her parents had once supported their work; because her husband and three of The Eights were members. Because there's no Richter Scale for certain kinds of quakes, no one knew how Maggie's venture would tilt scales, threaten the crime syndicate, or upend the balance of power.

Mack the Leech and Peter Praying Mantis are very unkind. They like to take things from others, so they don't have to work for what they want themselves. When the other bush animals organise a Happiness Day to help those in need, Mack and Peter set out to take what they can for themselves. Thankfully the kind volunteering bush animals find a way to save the day. Mack the Leech and Peter the Preying Mantis may enjoy creating unkindness, but there is still hope that one day they might learn to create a domino effect of kindness, just like the other bush animals.Kate hopes that her Beyond a Joke series of children's books will help readers to do the same.

** There is no fairy-godmother or magic in the story although there is some imagery we would expect to see in a Cinderella adjacent story - my apologies to those who thought there would be magic based on the title.** Mr. Thomas Bennet married the love of his life: Miss Fanny Gardiner. She gave him three children, Jane, Elizabeth and Tommy. 2 years after Tommy, Fanny was taken from her loving family birthing a second son, who was stillborn. Another branch of the Bennet family, cousins to the Longbourn Bennets, are titled, the Earl and Countess of Holder, who live in Staffordshire with their 5 children. The two families are extremely close and after Fanny dies Bennet's cousins, at his request, keep and raise Tommy. In his grief Thomas Bennet doesn't think he can raise a 2-year-old at the same time as his two daughters. He also feels Tommy needs a mother figure in his life. Martha Bingley is the widow of an honourable tradesman, Mr. Arthur Bingley, who had died of a heart attack. Bingley senior was a minor partner of Edward Gardiner in Gardiner and Associates. They had three children, Charles, Louisa, and Caroline. Unlike canon, the Bingleys are not very wealthy, and the girls have small dowries of £2,000 each. Bennet is introduced to Martha at his brother-in-law's house. The Bingleys live in a leased house a few houses down from the Gardiners on Gracechurch street. Martha has always dreamed of climbing up the social ladder, raising her family above their roots in trade, so she compromises Bennet as he is a landed gentleman with an estate. Being an honourable man, and against advice of friends and family, he marries her. Our 'prince' in the story is of course none other than His Grace Fitzwilliam Darcy, Duke of Derbyshire, Earl of Lambton. Like canon his parents have already passed away. Dear old Lady Catherine de Bourgh will do anything to make her sickly daughter with a nasty disposition a Duchess. At some point the Duke purchases Netherfield to be closer to London so his sister, Lady Georgiana, will have her preferred music master close by. Bennet never reveals the existence of his son, or his relations, who are peers of the realm, to his new wife, who he dislikes intensely. The neighbours, none of whom like the new Mrs. Bennet or her children, keep the Bennet's secrets without question. Bennet allows his new wife to believe the entail on Longbourn is away from the female line giving her the impression that on his death, she and her three spawn will be evicted from the estate by a distant unnamed cousin. Sometime after sending Jane to live with his cousins, for reasons which will be revealed in the story, with Lizzy refusing to leave her father's side, Bennet has an accident which kills him. When no heir presents himself to throw her and her children, still at Longbourn, into the hedgerows, the stepmother feels more secure at the estate. Several of the usual suspects are present as well as some other characters. This is a story of hope and survival and the eventual triumph of good over evil.

"In Routes Between Raindrops, Dan Wiencek searches through a feast of images, what was, what is, and what could have been, as well as what might yet be, as they shift back and forth between the common and the uncanny, the probable and the impossible alike. Wiencek calls us to recognize ourselves, through shifting tones and approaches, from the recognizable, such as baking bread, to the absurd, as in coming home to find a walrus in a pile of laundry or lampshades turning into birds, and all points in between. It's a marvelously dislocated tour that we exist in, and co-create, as Wiencek writes, 'Sky throws itself in everyone's / faces, now you're me, it says.'"-John Gallaher, author of In a Landscape
