Books with author Elizabeth Marie Pope

Designed for use in middle school and high school classrooms, as well as at home, books in this series transform subjects that are normally dreaded by many students. Painless books take light-hearted approaches to their subjects, while addressing topics that classroom texts never get to. Painless Speaking explores the uniquely human act of oral communication, including elements in our culture that shape the way we speak. It explores finding one's voice, understanding the basic unit of speech communication (an utterance), learning the art of conversation, reading aloud from fiction and nonfiction texts, and instruction in public speaking, which entails composing, practicing, and delivering a speech. Students will find guidelines for self-evaluation of a public speech.

Animal Olympics: When Speedy the rabbit boy is teased at school, Papa Rabbit encourages his sensitive son to prove his ability in the coming animal Olympics. However, Jack Rabbit who started all the trouble, soon discovers that he has a worthy opponent in little Speedy. Marie Cotton's delightful story for children has a very clear message: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again." The Stubborn Snowflake: Akwa, the water drop deep in Mother Ocean, longs for travel and adventure. His wish is granted when he rides on a playful fish, reaches the ocean's surface, is lifted up into the air and meets the world of clouds and breezes. After his transformation into a snowflake, Akwa descends to a window pane and watches a family celebrate Christmas. This beautiful story will appeal to children of all ages, teaching them the life cycle of a raindrop and that there is nothing wrong in having an adventurous spirit and seeking knowledge.
