A Child born with albinism hears her mother lovingly speak the words, "Mirror, mirror reflecting from the wall, I am seeing the fairest child of all. Smiling warmly like the rays of the sun, you bring much happiness to everyone." The child falls asleep feeling a true sense of security. She dreams of magnificent pale creatures like herself and contentedly sees herself playing amongst her fair-haired friends. The reader feels her child-like innocence as she is later approached by a bully. She appears fearful but not defeated. There is no tolerance for this inappropriate behavior as "The creatures form a circle to protect these fair children from any disrespect." She awakens and shares her dream with her mother and is compassionately reminded of her unique beauty. "Be proud of who you are, let your love shine and hold your head up high fair child of mine." This book was inspired by the author's personal experiences and her strong desire to write a book for children with albinism and their families, as well as for all children. My Fair Child gently speaks to our hearts as it is reminiscent of a child's innocence and the infinite beauty of human diversity.

Debut title in the Spin the Globe: The Incredible Adventures of Frederick von Wigglebottom travel adventure book series. The series is fun and educational, based on bedtime stories once told to my daughter and son. Each night, they would ask Daddy to tell them a story. After every variation of animal, astronaut, knights, and princess stories I could come up with, one evening I noticed the globe that sat atop a dresser. I asked them to help me pick the story by spinning the globe. Tonight the globe stopped in the heart of Australia, near Alice Springs and Uluru. Frederick meets George, an Aborigine boy, and Madeline, a girl of European heritage, who teach him about this area of the Outback in the Land Down Under.

A young man with a natural curiosity about everything, Douglas is intrigued when his mother begins asking him about strangers. What is a stranger? Douglas is not certain but as she gives him examples of people he knows and does not know, he begins to understand. When she explains that talking to strangers is bad and sometimes dangerous, Douglas realizes that he must always be careful when strangers try to talk to him. His mother then shares that he must be extra cautious of the man in the white van because he has been hurting children. When Douglas hears this, he pictures his favorite super heroes helping him find the man so that no more children are hurt. One day, Douglas is thrilled and surprised when his parents take him to pick out his very own puppy. His puppy, Dr. Wiggles, is not only a friend but also a protector. One day while they are playing outside, Douglas looks up to see the white van. Will he be like the super heroes he admires and help the police catch the man in the white van?

Families today are made up of many different people. Immediate and extended family often live under one roof and in turn share the responsibility of raising the children in the house. Mommy's House, Daddy's House is the story of five-year-old Zack and his experience of living between two houses of separated parents. As Zack soon realizes, there are many kids around him who share his living situation and that it does not always have to be a negative experience. Through the close involvement of his parent's extended families, Zack sees how lucky he is to have not one but two families who love and care for him, and it is not so bad living between two houses.

Pediatric Bipolar Disorder is a neurobiological disorder that requires medical treatment. Even with successful medical treatment, however, both children and adults with bipolar disorder usually need coping skillls to manage and live with this challenging illness. The purpose of this book is to help the child with bipolar disorder better understand his or her feelings, and feel less alone in this world. This book is written for elementary school age children, but may be of use for those younger or older. Children with bipolar disorder usually have strong emotional responses to their world. The first step to treating this illness is proper medical attention. Once these children receive treatment, it is important to help them identify, understand, cope with and manage these feelings. In order to give children a sense of control over these strong feelings, a caring adult can first learn how to label their feelings. Next, guide the child to strategize appropriate responses and practice or role play the strategies. Our hope is that this book facilitates discussions with your child to help in that process. In using this book, help the child understand that feelings are an emotional response to stimulus, and it's very hard, if not impossible, to change those initial feelings. What a healthy and stable child can learn to do, however, is manage the resulting behavior and choose how much control feelings have over their lives. In other words, while it is acceptable to be angry, it is not acceptable to act destructively because of that anger. That doesn't mean, however, that an unstable child should be expected to control their illness through sheer willpower.

MOLECULES and the Chemical Bond is about understanding Schrdingers equation, for chemical systems. In his famous Lectures on Physics, Richard Feynman quotes Paul Dirac on what it means to understand an equation. I understand what an equation means, said Dirac, if I have a way of figuring out the characteristics of its solutions without actually solving it. That hits the nail on the head! Its precisely what Conceptual Valence Bond Theory does for Schrdingers equation. A physical understanding of an equation, adds Feynman, is a completely unmathematical, imprecise, and inexact thing, but absolutely necessary for a physicist. It unfolds in MCB in two stages, described by Newton as a stage of Analysis (a union of observations and inductions) and a stage of Synthesis (use of inductions, accepted as first principles, to explain observations). The books chief vehicle for creating an intuitive understanding of solutions of Schrdingers equation is the worlds largest and to the authors knowledge, virtually only library of line drawings of exclusive orbital models of chemical species electron density profiles. By focussing attention on fundamental physical principles and by avoiding use of atomic orbitals and, thereby, mathematical complexities associated with Schrdingers equation (the only source of atomic orbitals), the books essays provide a scientifically sound, student-friendly introduction to modern valence theory. Repetition of fundamental ideas, here and there, is intended to make individual essays understandable and interesting, each by itself, so that readers may examine them in any order, in leisurely walks, so to speak, in the big garden that is valence theory, picking bouquets to their liking.
