28,501 | 2 | www.youaremyrainbow.com I was 26 when I found out I was pregnant and I was 26 when I found out my son died. The year 2016 was the best year of my life while also being the most devastating year of my life. We were so thrilled to become parents for the first time and did all the fun stuff like take announcement and maternity photos, move into a bigger house with a yard, make a registry, have a baby shower and build the most amazing nursery for Grayson! On December 29th, 2016 I gave birth to my son at 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant, four days shy of his due date. Grayson never had the chance to take his first breath or cry his first cry. This journey is long, hard and never ending. You will never replace your child and you will not ever stop missing them. Grieving the death of a child is a life long journey, it changes you to the core. I live each day trying to honor and make my son proud of his momma! Thank you so much for taking the time to read a bit more about me and why I wrote this childrens book. This book is a wonderful read to any living children and lets them know how much they are loved and how much their sibling who has passed is loved. It is a vibrant, sweet book and came straight from my heart.; Title: You Are My Rainbow | [

It's a must-read for all families whose children's minds are filled with what-ifs. I'm so glad a tool like this exists and I will definitley be recommending it to families!" Lauren LaRue Walker, MD, FAAP, Pediatrician, Houston Texas"As a pediatrician in private practice for over 18 years, I estimate that at least half of the visits I see each day relate directly or indirectly to anxiety in mypatients or their parents. This book is a beautifully illustrated, wonderful tool to help parents assist their child to navigate through their anxieties (or the what-ifs). As a parent I am familiar with the what-ifs. I would have loved to have this children's book years ago." John T. Fitch, Jr. , MD, FAAP, Heritage Pediatrics, San Antonio, Texas"If your child struggles with anxiety, "William, The What-If Wonder", by Carol Wulff, is just the book you and your child have been looking for. Based on Wulff's own successful experiences helping her own child deal with theday-to-day worries, the story is told in upbeat rhyme accompanied by Clare Willett's bright, kid-friendly illustrations. End notes by pediatric psychologist, Margaret R. Mauze Phd, ABPP, provide a practical explanation of how this technique, called "cognitive reframing," can help children cope with anxiety issues." Gloria G. Adams, Children's Author, and Editor"This book is a great age - and developmentally appropriate way to teach children how to manage their "worry thoughts." The book is designed around a common situation that most children, and adults, can identify with, and can then use the simplicity of the strategy to generalize to other situations. The information at the end is very helpful, as well."

Many of them struggle with social norms, socio-emotional regulations, problem-solving,impulsivity, and things of the like." -Kaitlin Dommermuth, 1st & 2nd grade teacher"It was a good story, I liked the being brave part and that she was a stand up kid, by telling her sisters how she felt. I liked all the parts of the story." - Gharrett, age 4"It taught me I can do anything I want to do and be anything I want to be." -Brooklin, age 9Dear ParentsThank you for reading to your children, both boys and girls!Our vision is to create content for young children focused on emotional developmental milestones with the goal of building self-confidence. After research into gender roles, confidence, and child development, what we have learned is that children's most emotionally formative years are ages 0-5, but most confidence-building materials are focused on ages 10+. These materials miss the most powerful developmental opportunity. We propose to solve that problem by providing content to young children that focuses on major emotional and psychological milestones for young children, namely attachment, autonomy and the ability to self-soothe, emotional capacity and social values.In this specific story, we focus on the emotional ability of Cinderella: her sadness at the death of her mother, her feeling left out by her stepsisters when they play without her and choose to be mean, Cinderella's experience with loneliness in the forest, her eventual ability to tell her stepsisters WHY she was sad and lonely, and also to forgive them for their behavior.Cinderella's ability to name her emotions "I feel left out" is a signal of the ability to self-soothe, that is, to process emotions in a healthy manner that is directed toward a desired resolution. Additionally, the processing of emotion touches on how we self-regulate those emotions. Expressing one's concerns and problem-solving are both better coping strategies than having an escape reaction, which is what Cinderella initially does by running away.This story begins and ends with autonomy: Cinderella's decision to be brave, her decision to spend the night in the forest, and climb out of the pit, and her choice to follow the path home. The word "choose" was carefully selected in describing the stepsisters' behavior toward Cinderella. They are choosing to be mean. At the resolution of the story, they choose to treat her like the sister she is.Lastly, we touch on social values: Cinderella's belief that sisters should love one another. She states her belief with conviction and in such a way that her stepsisters change their behavior that is inconsistent with these social values.The goal of this book is to provide an enjoyable story that serves as a mechanism for your child exploring emotional ability, autonomy, and the ability to self-soothe. You may also find that your children, especially older readers familiar with the original version of Cinderella, are immediately inspired to pen their own version after reading!Happy parenting :); Title: Cinderella: Revised Classics for Modern Children | [

28,515 | 2 | "Your Family: A Donor Kid's Story fills a noticeable gap in LGBTQ family books. While others have discussed how we make our babies, Your Family: A Donor Kid's Story takes the next step in addressing what can often be an elephant in the room for our families. The existence of donor siblings, and how to navigate those relationships, is deeply personal and family-specific. For those who are looking for a way to help their children understand the breadth of their biological relationships, Your Family: A Donor Kid's Story does an incredible, age-appropriate job at laying the framework in an interactive, light hearted way." - Amanda Hopping-Winn, Chief Program Officer, Family Equality Council"A lovely book for children who were conceived with donor sperm or egg. Parents in all kinds of families will find it very helpful in explaining their child's conception story in a gentle, simple, and positive way. " - Jane Mattes, L.C.S.W., psychotherapist and Founder/Director of Single Mothers by Choice"A much-needed resource for parents and children in families created by donor conception. The author, Wendy Kramer, has a wealth of experience and a real understanding of the needs of donor conception families. This book will foster curiosity and inspire conversations in families where children want to learn more about their donor origins and connections." - Dr. Tabitha Freeman, Centre for Family Research, University of Cambridge"Your Family: A Donor Kid's Story is a wonderful book that affirms the experience of children who have been donor-conceived. It's important for families to have a book like this to read to their kids, so that their children can understand who they are and where they came from. Wendy Kramer's book is long overdue!" - Jacqueline Mroz, author of Scattered Seeds: In Search of Family and Identity in the Sperm Donor Generation "What a beautiful way to help donor children make sense of their stories! Wendy Kramer's open-hearted new book sees the love in families of all kinds and honors kids' curiosity about their genetic connections. This book will help donor children recognize themselves--it acknowledges that their families are real and worth getting to know, in all their possibilities. I wish I'd had this book when I was young..." - Sara Lamm, documentary filmmaker and donor-conceived person"A creative and comfortable way to talk to our donor-conceived kids about their origins." - Ann Dixon, Co-founder, Serendip Studio "As a psychotherapist, I work with many LGBT parents of donor conceived children who struggle to find the right language to speak to their children about the circumstance of their birth. They are also often afraid that learning about their donors and potential donor siblings will be upsetting or confusing to their children. Finally, I have a book to recommend to them! Your Family: A Donor Kid's Story is the perfect combination of honest, loving, and positive. I am keeping a pile of copies in my office. " - Liz Margolies, LCSW, psychotherapist and mother of a donor-conceived child"Wow! I wish I'd had this book when I was growing up. It would have explained everything. It should be given to every donor kid." - B. Richard, donor-conceived college studentIn 2000 my then ten year old donor-conceived son Ryan and I started the Donor Sibling Registry (DSR).It was born out of his curiosity about possible half siblings and about his own biological father, a man only known to us as donor 1058. From the beginning, the DSR's mission has been to connect, educate and support all those in the donor family, first and foremost being the donor-conceived children.18 years later, with 60,000 members in 105 countries, and with many research studies and published papers, we've come to understand much about everyone in the donor family.With almost 20,000 people connected on the DSR, we've heard from thousands of them about the profound and important familial connections that take place every single day.We know that it's important for donor offspring to be told about their origins right from the start -but telling is only the first step. Donor-conceived children mustalso feel understood about their own curiosities and eagerness to connect with their first and second-degree genetic relatives, and their desire to know more about their ancestry. To quote Bruce Springsteen, " You can't really know who you are, and where you're going unless you know where you came from".Over the years, I have been asked many times to recommend a children's book about being donor-conceived, being curious about half siblings and donors, and about making those connections. Here it is! I have tried in this book to be sensitive to everyone in the donor family. Because terminology is a hot button, I use several terms to describe both half siblings (donor siblings) and biological parents (donors). I believe that parents should be as accurate as possible with the terminology, knowing that most kids, at some point, will want to try on all the terms. Terminology will likely change over the years, with maturity and the ability to define these relationships for themselves.I encourage all parents to think deeply and critically about the terminology so that all donor kids feel supported and free to use any of and all of the words that they need to as they grow up.Because there are an infinite number of combinations of family type, parent type, donor type, sibling type and child type, we show many types of kids and families. After reading each page, parents can springboard into conversations with their child about how their own family is unique and special.Children may go through many phases and levels of curiosity.Some may be mildly curious, some not at all, and some have a burning desire to know their first and second-degree genetic relatives.Parents need to be ready to support and honor any curiosities that their child might have as they mature.My hopes are that this book will be a great tool for opening up conversations between parents and young children with the goal, as always, to create happy and healthy donor families.; Title: Your Family: A Donor Kid's Story | [

The nature and origin of this answer is initially unknown to us, but as Charlotte nears the end of her travels, she reveals parts of her past and the true reason shes willing to risk the darkness alone.However, if she intends to make it to wherever this truth exists, she must first realize who she is and what she can do all while staying mere strides ahead of ever-watchful and ever-hungry beasts.; Title: Charlotte, Wander On. | [

28,535 | 2 | The Worst Day Ever charmingly addresses every day issues that early elementary school children face daily and is enhanced for young readers with the inclusion of a coloring page where children can draw how a hug feels to them. Solidly entertaining and with a laudable moral value, The Worst Day Ever is very highly recommended for children preschool through second grade. --Midwest Book Reviews- Children's BookshelfReece does a wonderful job of capturing an average kid's worst-day-ever reality for most. She does so in a way that is relatable and stirs empathy and thought within little listeners. Despite his misbehavior, my kids and I related to James, because some days you are just off. Even my 4-year-old understood James conflicts, and empathized as he dealt with the consequences. Reece suggests an audience of ages four to nine, but I believe the story can be appreciated by both older and younger kids. This book is both meaningful and discussion-provoking, and would be a wonderful addition to any family s book shelf. --Little Lake County BookshelfDebbie hits a home run with her second book. Her writing style truly connects to the way young children think and feel. She meets the child where they are at developmentally. The Worst Day Ever! is ideal for children who struggle with self-control, impulsivity, and attention-deficit issues. She also touches on friendship and compassion when friends struggle with similar issues. This is a book elementary aged children can connect to and feel understood. --Kim Carson, M.Ed., LPCThis is Debbie's second illustrated children's book inspired by her son and his classmates. She has several children's book awards for both The Christmas Pumpkin and The Worst Day Ever!.

28,538 | 2 | Mary Coffman is a licensed counselor who believes that children can have fun while overcoming problems. Uncle Lightfoot was inspired by the authors growing up on a farm as well as an awareness that her own family history includes Creek Indian ancestry. However, the author also knows that the additional inheritance from Scotch-Irish, English - - and goodness knows what else - - makes her essentially a mutt! When medical problems forced the author into retirement, the author returned to her first love: helping children and their parents through books. Earlier in her career she had written an unpublished research version of Uncle Lightfoot (the precursor to Uncle Lightfoot, Flip That Switch). Knowing that independent researchers had found the earlier Uncle Lightfoot to be helpful in reducing fear of the dark in children, she decided to release Uncle Lightfoot, Flip That Switch. Her loyal rat terrier, Talley Ho, has been both nurse and inspiration during this process. The author met the artist, Dianne Dusevitch, when they attended college in Florida. Dusevitch is the original artist for the previous unpublished research editions, and she has recently given Uncle Lightfoot a fresh look. Dusevitch is the winner of national and international illustration and marketing awards and currently splits her time living in Florida and Colorado. Mary Coffman is a nationally certified counselor (NCC), with licensure in South Carolina (LPC) and Florida (LMHC). Her career has included counseling, teaching parenting classes, administration, writing, adjunct college teaching, and research.

Every day he watches the cats on the farm and practices strutting, meowing, ignoring others, and pretending to be bored, all the while wishing he could join them for naps in the sun, romps in the grass, and cozy snoozes in the lap of the farmer's wife. The other mice laugh at him, but he doesn't care, and one day he finally gathers the courage to become a catwith surprising results. The spare text and clean lines give the book the look and feel of an animated cartoon, while gentle visual humor and winsome facial expressions add depth to Santi's longing.

I love that it comes with a CD for my daughter to follow. The children vocalists have very cute voices! It's an easy-to-follow book, perfect for any child to learn Chinese! --Cammie, Teacher and MomI was looking for a book with Chinese song lyrics and translations for teaching my 2 and 4 year olds. I have countless sets of Chinese children's CDs but most are from overseas and hard to understand. I can also go on youtube for songs but they don't all have translations. Sing With Me in Mandarin is songbook, CD and instructional material in one. Perfect for someone like me who is learning Chinese along with her kids and who likes to actively teach my kids. It is an excellent resource not just for teaching Chinese but also for teaching music and movement to young children. --Alice, Former Teacher and MomPatricia Tina Wu, M.A.Ed. is a former elementary school teacher and mother of two with over a decade of teaching experience.

28,561 | 7 | "5 stars!" - Michelle Stanley for Readers' Favorite The enchanting Tales of Mr. Snuggywhiskers: The Autumn Tales (Volume 1) is such a delightful fantasy story and it is obvious from the writing that the author is not hesitant to jot down ideas on paper, with a humorous imagination seen in the plot. There is never a dull moment. One of my favourite scenes is visiting Squirrel's home while he is on his honeymoon, due to its good description. Mr. Snuggywhiskers is rather intelligent for a mouse, and Hallie and Cory are cool. The cover illustration of the tree home is beautiful.

28,574 | 2 | It's rare to see a picture book about love that begins with easy admonitions that focuses on how to identify acts of love in the world and how to 'pay it forward' - but Open the Doors to You is such a read, and is so well done that it lends to both parental read-aloud and pursuit by picture book readers who already have basic reading skills under their belts, and the maturity to understand the wider concept of understanding generosity and giving. It wouldn't be an exceptional picture book without superior illustrations, and Open the Doors to You packs its pages with watercolor works that are realistic, colorful, and welcoming throughout; capturing the young reader's eye with a delightful visual embellishment to a story that emphasizes giving love and finding success in the world. At times the story line becomes more of a series of admonitions, teaching young readers about the basic elements of happiness and success which, after all, are the foundations of love: "Most things in life take time to learn. So walk through the door and take your time to get it right. Persistence means try, try again! You might excel in math but need to try harder in something else. You might prefer to learn as you go. Games are fun to play in gym class. Art is a blast when messes become part of the creation. Every open door (whether it be sports, art, or exploring the outdoors) becomes an opportunity for fun, growth, and success under Rislov's hand: "The door to outside opens to fun in every season." Every door leads to other doors. A positive attitude and enthusiasm towards life is best cultivated early: start with Open the Doors to You. Despite its propensity for admonishments, the total result of this picture book is a positive, upbeat tone that encourages kids to explore the world with positive results in mind. The colorful format enhances the message and assures it will be delivered to an interested audience. --D. Donovan, Senior Book Reviewer, Midwest Book ReviewAuthor Casey Rislov's Open the Doors to You is a book for children which helps them to see the excitement and wonder of what lies on the other side of a door. The door to home represents comfort and love. A door to school leads to learning and growing. Doors are an invitation to exploring and discovery, friendships and activities. Kids will delight in this expressive book with its lovely illustrations and imaginative perspective on all the many ways doors can create opportunities. This book is recommended for home and school libraries. --Literary ClassicsI loved the concept of Open the Doors to You by Casey Rislov. I think it can be hard to come up with a fresh idea in a children's book that hasn't been overdone to death, but I have never seen a book about doors. And yet the book isn't focused just on the specific types of doors or what doors lead to literally, but talks more about the kinds of things a person might find behind a wide range of doors. I thought that was a unique approach and I was very impressed with the concept and all of the different avenues this book took us on just by opening doors. Open the Doors to You by Casey Rislov is also visually stunning. I think illustrations are very important in children's books because many times pictures are what bring the children in and allow them to sit still long enough to hear the story. These illustrations really complement the storyline and go a long way to show readers exactly what they might find behind these amazing doors. From donation boxes to neighbors baking cookies to the elementary school to music, sports, and arts and crafts, children reading this book are going to have a stimulating, visually appealing ride that they will love. Parents will enjoy reading this story to their children because of the positive messages that are reinforced, as well as the educational information being handed out to kids. Excellent job! --Janelle Fila, Readers' FavoriteCasey Rislov holds a master's degree in elementary education and is endorsed in early childhood and special needs. She has spent most of her career teaching children everything from swimming and downhill ski racing to developmental skills and reading and writing. Casey credits her parents for encouraging her from a young age to open the door to education, the outdoors, friends, hobbies, new activities, or travel, they always supported her adventurous ways. And it was in this spirit of adventure that Casey wrote her third book, Open the Doors to You. She hopes her book will encourage readers to discover what new adventures are waiting behind each door.; Title: Come In Open the Doors to You | [

28,595 | 12 | Math is a skill that starts out very early in childhood. There are many concepts that toddlers can grasp about math. Some, you may not even recognize as math. But these skills are often developed as play. So, the appropriate books here can help your toddler build up those math skills. Take advantage of this opportunity to help them learn the basics of math.Pre-K is a great age to begin the lessons of number recognition and counting. Like all math skills, you do have to start at the beginning. Practice counting a few of the same items at first. Like many math skills, practice and repetition are the building blocks. While you can eventually move on to higher numbers, you shouldn't expect them always to remember the order that the numbers go in.Shape recognition is another part of math that toddlers can explore. This isaccomplished by explaining the differences and through the play of inserting shapes into the proper holes. It is easy to incorporate this into the every day as you can point out objects through the day and name the shapes. It is also something that they will explore in more depth in preschool.Patterns are another thing that you can start discovering with your toddler. Keep the patterns very simple at first. You can ask or show them what comes next in the sequence. As they develop their skills, you can add a third color or shape. The key is not to overcomplicate your patterns. If at all possible, only make one change in the sequence such as alter the color of an item or the shape of an object. Wait until they get the concept down before trying more complex changes.Size is another math concept that you can explore with your toddler. The idea that things are different sizes is the introduction to the most complicated world of measurements. At this age, you should put emphasis on comparing objects and pointing out which one is different. You can also concentrate on establishing an order of sizes. How big something is might be a little over their heads at this point, because they are still basically comparing everything to themselves.There are many math skills that toddlers can build through play. These skills are the base for more complex math skills later on. While you might not be able to help your teenager with their algebra, you can help your toddler learn the basics of numbers.Author J. Steven Youngshares adventurous and imaginative observations on life across multiple genres, including children's activity books, young adult and fantasy.His Hashtag Magic collection is quickly moving up the fantasy charts on Amazon and the third book in the series is currently in development.Raised in the Chicago area, J.

28,599 | 1 | When my wife was pregnant with our daughter, I felt her belly bounce more often from hiccups than from kicks. Before she was born, Isabel hiccupped so much that we nicknamed her "pipoca," which is "popcorn" in Portuguese. That image didn't fit after she was born--the popcorn was out of the pan. So I started calling her hiccupopotamus. It turns out that there are two books that are called "hiccupotamus," but I can't get my tongue around the syllables in a way that makes me feel like I did something other than mispronounce "hippopotamus." I could either get "hiccup" or "hippopotamus," but not both. Hiccupoptamus conjured both images in my mind at once. Isabel is now three and she still hiccups a lot, even though she knows at least ten ways to cure them.Mocking monkeys, joking, poking,Frolic-dancing hoot advice.Baby hippo, hiccups croaking,Thinks silly monkeys are not nice.; Title: The Hiccupopotamus: a rhyming picture book with authentic African animals | [
