Can some of those body image worries be eased? Body image expert and psychology professor Dr Charlotte Markey helps girls aged 9-15 to understand, accept, and appreciate their bodies. She provides all the facts on puberty, mental health, self-care, why diets are bad news, dealing with social media, and everything in-between. Girls will find answers to questions they always wanted to ask, the truth behind many body image myths, and real-life stories from girls who share their own experiences. Through this easy-to-read and beautifully illustrated guide, Dr Markey teaches girls how to nurture both mental and physical heath to improve their own body image, shows the positive impact they can have on others, and enables them to go out into the world feeling fearless!

After writing Elementary Geography for earlier grades, Ms Mason wrote this book, the second in her series of five readers, to teach students about the people and industries of the wider world.Featuring a tour of the United Kingdom during her time, as well as Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, India, Africa and America there is not much of the world that doesn’t earn at least a quick mention.

This little book is confined to very simple “reading lessons upon the Form and Motions of the Earth, the Points of the Compass, the Meaning of a Map: Definitions.”The shape and motions of the earth are fundamental ideas—however difficult to grasp.Geography should be learned chiefly from maps, and the child should begin the study by learning “the meaning of map,” and how to use it.These subjects are well fitted to form an attractive introduction to the study of Geography: some of them should awaken the delightful interest which attaches in a child’s mind to that which is wonderful—incomprehensible. The Map lessons should lead to mechanical efforts, equally delightful. It is only when presented to the child for the first time in the form of stale knowledge and foregone conclusions that the facts taught in these lessons appear dry and repulsive to him.An effort is made in the following pages to treat the subject with the sort of sympathetic interest and freshness which attracts children to a new study.A short summary of the chief points in each reading lesson is given in the form of questions and answers.Easy verses, illustrative of the various subjects, are introduced, in order that the children may connect pleasant poetic fancies with the phenomena upon which “Geography” so much depends.It is hoped that these reading lessons may afford intelligent teaching, even in the hands of a young teacher.The first ideas of Geography—the lessons on “Place”—which should make the child observant of local geography, of the features of his own neighbourhood, its heights and hollows and level lands, its streams and ponds—should be conveyed viva voce. At this stage, a class-book cannot take the place of an intelligent teacher.Children should go through the book twice, and should, after the second reading, be able to answer any of the questions from memory.Charlotte M. Mason

Charlotte Mary Mew was born on 15th November, 1869 in London to professional parents - her father was responsible for the design of Hampstead Town Hall. Charlotte, one of seven children; three of whom died in early childhood, was educated at Lucy Harrison's School for Girls and attended lectures at University College, London. In 1898 her father died but failed to make provision for the family. Her mother, anxious about the family's social standing, did not want that known even though there was heavy ongoing expense for two other siblings who were in mental institutions. However for Charlotte helping to support this overhead and her mother and sister, Anne, meant that her ambition to be a paid writer must now become a reality. Initially this meant prose - her poetry was to gestate until later in life. During this time Charlotte and Anne made a pact never to marry for fear of passing on insanity to their children. As a writer Charlotte was a modernist, resisting the shackles of Victorian society's suffocating demands on behaviour especially for women. Despite her diminutive figure and dainty feet, she wore trousers, kept her hair short, smoked roll ups, was a Lesbian and tried to appear masculine. Her difficult family life, although her close relationship with Anne was a constant source of comfort and companionship until her death in 1927, was coupled with rejection in her personal life but also provided inspiration for her wonderfully insightful and original poetry that you can read here. Despite her fans including Thomas Hardy, Virginia Woolf and Siegfried Sassoon, Charlotte's works have been shamefully neglected. With your help we hope to put that right with this collection of her best poems. Charlotte Mew died on 24th March in 1928 and was buried at Hampstead Cemetery.

Alexis Kelly is a very special young woman. She's a fourteen year old child of the ancient goddess of love Aphrodite, and as if that wasn't rare enough she was also raised by the goddess of the hunt Artemis. All her life she was raised with no family, just huntresses. Until she is sent to a place where other demigods go. There she meets her first friend ever and they're sent on a mission for the gods. In a group of four, these teengers must venture to the Underworld, Land of the Dead and retrieve important items of significance. The only question is, will they do it on time?

Swishers Decision was created to teach children about the dangers of doing things just because others are doing them. I specifically used fish for the story because of the schooling actions of fish. It is easy to put Swisher in the position of a child (or anyone else) who doesnt want to alone- who wants to belong. Sometimes because we want to belong, we find ourselves doing things with which we are not comfortable. Sometimes, we go along with others because we don't want to be left out when we could be doing something we enjoy more. For many, these tendencies last a life time. Teaching our children to JUST SAY NO! is harder than encouraging them with Having the courage to say NO. Many adults need to learn the lesson as well, after all, we all want to fit In and to belong. Lets make it happen OUR WAY I
