Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Words get Knotted
Book SynopsisDyslexia is a difficulty with words, and it is often misunderstood and sometimes unrecognised. If dyslexia remains undetected, it can affect a child's confidence and educational achievements. This charming, beautifully designed book aims to empower children with dyslexia to recognise and understand their own difficulties and by sharing it with friends and family help them to understand too. It is a picture book for an adult to share with a young child but the use of the visual metaphor (wool and knitting being compared to words and writing) minimizes the need for words and adds to its appeal.Trade ReviewA clever, entertaining book... will inspire youngsters age 8+ and their parents. * Irish Examiner *

It tackles mental health, depression, sexual identity, and anxiety with beauty and empathy. ?Cosmopolitan.comA Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the YearA Chicago Public Library Best of the Best of the YearBiz knows how to float, right there on the surface?normal okay regular fine. She has her friends, her mom, the twins. She has Grace. And she has her dad, who shouldn''t be here but is. So Biz doesn''t tell anyone anything?not about her dark, runaway thoughts, not about kissing Grace or noticing Jasper, the new boy. And not about seeing her dad. Because her dad died when she was seven.But after what happens on the beach, the tethers that hold Biz steady come undone. Her dad disappears and, with him, all comfort. It might be easier, better, sweeter to float all the way away? Or maybe stay a little longer, find her father, bring him back to her. Or maybe?maybe maybe maybe?there''s a third way Biz just can''t see yet.Debut author Helena Fox tells a story about love, grief, and inter-generational mental illness, exploring the hard and beautiful places loss can take us, and honoring those who hold us tightly when the current wants to tug us out to sea.I haven''t been so dazzled by a YA in ages. ?Jandy Nelson, author of I''ll Give You the Sun (via SLJ)Mesmerizing and timely. ?BustleNothing short of exquisite. ?PopSugarImmensely satisfying ?Girls'' Life* Lyrical and profoundly affecting. ?Kirkus (starred review)* Masterful...Just beautiful. ?Booklist (starred review)* Intimate...Unexpected. ?PW (starred review)* Fox writes with superb understanding and tenderness. ?BCCB (starred review)* Frank [and] beautifully crafted. ?BookPage (starred review)Deeply moving...A story of hope. ?Common Sense MediaThis book will explode you into atoms. ?Margo Lanagan, author of Tender MorselsHelena Fox''s novel delivers.

Biz’s voice is wild and rollicking, lyrical and hilarious, utterly authentic . . . There isn’t a false note.” —Jandy Nelson, author of I’ll Give You the Sun (via School Library Journal)"[How It Feels to Float] explores intergenerational mental illness in a way that is nothing short of exquisite." —PopSugar"A profoundly moving story about grief, loss, and love that will take your breath away. Helena Fox is a writer to be reckoned with." —Kathleen Glasgow, author of Girl in Pieces"If you've read Anna Borges's story for The Outline "I Am Not Always Very Attached To Being Alive," you are perhaps already acquainted with the idea of "treading to stay afloat" when living with mental illness. In How It Feels To Float, author Helena Fox tells the story of a young woman floating through life, struggling to hide her dark thoughts and a past marked by intergenerational mental illness. —Bustle“How It Feels to Float is technically a YA novel, but I'm not talking Twilight YA. I'm talking give-this-to-all-your-twenty-something-friends-immediately YA. This book will relate to anyone that's lived through the confusing mind-f*ck that is being a high school girl. More than that, it tackles mental health, depression, sexual identity, and anxiety with beauty and empathy as protagonist Biz comes to terms with the death of her father amid a devastating social fall-out.” —Cosmopolitan.com"Beautifully written, Biz's story (of dark thoughts, grief and questioning her sexuality) is subtly revealed and immensely satisfying as she slowly unravels and puts herself together again." —Girls' Life"Teens who don’t want to be labeled, who don’t conform to checklists of attributes or fall into tidy boxes, will relate hard to this book about a girl who wants, very badly at times, to float away, but who ultimately finds herself . . . Full of life, resplendent with sensory details, lush descriptions, clever and witty narration, and a beating heart that will make yours swell with feeling.” —B&N Teen Blog★ “Lyrical and profoundly affecting, providing a nuanced account of the hereditary effects of trauma. Haunting.” —Kirkus (starred review)★ "Biz is smart, funny, and self-deprecating . . . [How It Feels to Float is] a masterful portrayal of mental illness that illuminates the complex interplay between emotional trauma and the mind’s subsequent recoil. And the writing is just beautiful." —Booklist (starred review)★ “Exquisite . . . Through lyrical first-person narration, Fox empathically conveys the hereditary nature of Biz’s illness, its disorienting manifestations, and the limitations and power of love to heal.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)★ “Fox writes with superb understanding and tenderness . . . The poignant depiction of depression is leavened by secondary characters who love Biz, ranging from Jasper’s photographer grandmother to Jasper himself and even to Biz’s doomed dad, who may have lost to his demons but who has a larky beauty that lights up the pages. . . . Ambiguity enhances the beautiful, unsteady shimmer of Biz’s story.” —BCCB (starred review)★ “This is a frank story of mental illness, loss, and sexual identity, and Fox responsibly concludes her story with information and support services for readers facing similar issues. How It Feels to Float is a beautifully crafted story of finding hope and love when both appear to be gone forever.” —BookPage (starred review)“A YA The Bell Jar with a ghostly twist, [and an] honest, nuanced portrayal of grief and life with mental illness. . . . A mesmerizing and timely debut.” —Bustle"Beautifully written and deeply moving . . . Just as much a story of hope and the power of love and friendship." —Common Sense Media“This book will explode you into atoms, put you back together, and return the new shape of you to earth. Alive with sensation and rich in thought and feeling, How it Feels to Float intensively explores what it’s like to be here now.” —Margo Lanagan, author of Tender Morsels"Impossibly beautiful, life-affirming, profound. This is not a book; it is a work of art." —Kerry Kletter, author of The First Time She Drowned “Every now and then you pick up a novel and you know you’ve found something wonderful—a glorious voice, a character you adore. Helena Fox’s novel delivers. It is exquisite. Read it.” —Cath Crowley, author of Words in Deep Blue"It is a testament to Helena Fox’s immense skill as a writer that all the disparate elements come together seamlessly in an intense, intimate portrait of a teenage girl. Like Biz in the darkroom, the author dodges and burns, keeping her characters moving, exposing them to the light." —The Saturday Paper"A perfect, surreal exploration of mental illness and grief. Fox’s writing is poetry, bringing the reader to the brink of Biz’s madness and back again as she finds new ways to make meaning, and new people to make it with. . . . How It Feels to Float is a visceral reading experience that captures the way in which many teens struggle with mental illness. It is a lesson in acceptance and understanding, and readers will be deeply moved." —Books+Publishing

Enchanted Lion Books What Color Is the Wind?
Book SynopsisA blind child questions all he encounters----a dog, wolf, elephant, mountain, bird, stream, and tree----about the color of the wind. Each responds differently, with a shape, color, smell, texture, or idea. Each page displays a visual and tactile palette of cutouts, textures, colors. It is a sensory experience that makes the invisible experiential, ending with the wind as the pages fly. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, Anne Herbauts expresses an original world in each of her books. Awake to the richness of the world, endlessly curious, and rigorous in her work, Anne has written and illustrated over twenty books.Trade Review"Herbauts incorporates embossing, die-cut holes, and various shapes in smooth, transparent overlays so that the illustrations require touch as much as sight to apprehend." -- Kirkus Reviews "While this thought-provoking story might go over the heads of some little ones, the offbeat questions, beautiful artwork, and unique multisensory approach will be simply enchanting for creative-minded children." -- Booklist "I think this little book is a bit of a wonder. Deeply appealing to children of all ages, to say nothing of the adults out there, with so many uses, and so many applications. It reminds me of the old picture books by Bruno Munari that weren't afraid to try new things with the picture book format." -- Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Attacking Anxiety: A Step-by-Step Guide to an
Book SynopsisDrawing on the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), this book sets out a clear, enjoyable, step-by-step approach for addressing the sorts of anxieties, fears and phobias that are so common in children and teens with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and related challenges.Using this easy-to-follow model, parents and professionals will have the tools they need to help children and teens cope with and sometimes overcome anxieties caused by everyday occurrences. The book covers seven common scenarios, from fears of environmental sounds and visiting the doctor or dentist, to anxieties around transitions, changes to schedules and an intolerance for making mistakes. The model can be adapted to suit almost any anxiety or phobia and is ideal for use at home, at school and in clinical settings where it can be integrated into a variety of treatment approaches and styles.Designed to help parents of children with autism spectrum disorders and the teachers and therapists who work with them, this book is an excellent resource for successfully alleviating many of the anxieties and phobias that interfere with life enjoyment, not only for the child but for the entire family.Trade ReviewThe peaceful cover well expresses Levine and Chedd's gentle and effective approach to resolving anxiety and phobias in children with developmental difficulties. By showing how to break child's fears down into more tolerably-sized "chunks," they provide a means of keeping the child engaged in the therapeutic work, preventing the frequent dropouts of behavioral treatment. While they designed a method for children with special needs, it will enhance the treatment of any child or teen with anxiety or phobias. Clear and direct enough to instruct a beginning clinician, it is rich and innovative enough to teach experienced therapists. -- Richard Bromfield, PhD, Harvard Medical School, author Doing Therapy with Children and Adolescents with Asperger Syndrome and Embracing Asperger’sThis is a lovely book, which has many ideas applicable to neurotypical children as well. Brilliant for toddlers tantruming (I have toddler grandsons aged one and two, and am already having conversations with the hand-dryer in the church lavatory - wonderful!) -- Carolyn Holleyman, Grandmother of three toddler boysToo often children with autism are viewed through the lens of the condition, with their challenges seen purely as 'behaviour'. However, anxiety is such a key issue for so many individuals on the autism spectrum that it becomes essential to treat it as an individual and individualised 'thing' rather than largely disregarded simply as part of the diagnosis. This book is a welcome and much needed addition to a field of literature on treating the core symptoms of autism in an emotionally-centred and child-friendly way. Levine and Chedd have made a largely misunderstood, but essential part of autism treatment accessible to professionals and parents alike. They offer a practical, effective way to approach and treat anxiety in autism. Most importantly children and the professionals that treat them will also have great fun attacking anxiety together! -- Ruth Glynne-Owen, Founder and Chief Executive, Speur-Ghlan Early Intervention Service, ScotlandA highly creative approach, combining classic exposure with symbolic play for children often considered very difficult to treat. Professionals and parents will find the depth of expertise and clinical pearls shared by the authors very accessible and feasible. Especially helpful are the many detailed examples and many ideas for implementing the treatment for a broad range of fears. A valuable resource that I will use often! -- Aureen P. Wagner, Ph.D., Director, The Anxiety Wellness Center, author of Worried No More and What to Do when your Child has OCDThis book really is easy to access for parents and professionals, and a great tool for all parties to work together... Reading the book through was enough to give me some new ways of approaching anxiety/OCD strategies straight away. Really useful! -- Mel Thomsett * Sensory Smart *Table of ContentsPreface. 1.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Do You Understand Me?: My Life, My Thoughts, My
Book SynopsisSofie Koborg Brøsen is eleven years old and, like other children of her age, goes to a mainstream school, loves reading comics and being with her family and her cat, Teddy. But Sofie is not the same as everyone else - she has autism spectrum disorder. Fed up with being misunderstood by her classmates, she has written a book about her world so others can learn to understand her, and vice versa.Sofie describes her day-to-day life in clear, unambiguous language and tells readers about things she finds difficult: being given too many instructions, disruptions to her routine, being teased, strong lights and smells and too much noise. She also tells about what she really likes - feeling accepted by other children, reading, nature, her autism camp and her cat.This fully illustrated book has already attracted much positive attention in Denmark. It is a readable insider's view of life as a child with autism attending a mainstream school and will be an invaluable resource in helping other children to understand their classmates with autism spectrum disorders. Teachers, parents, carers, support workers, children with autism spectrum disorders and their classmates will find this an entertaining, informative and attitude-changing read.Trade ReviewSofie is an 11 year old Danish girl with autism spectrum disorder. Tired of being misunderstood at school, she wrote this little book for her classmates. She describes her everyday life at home with her family and her cat, and at school. She writes about the things she finds difficult: being teased, disruptions to her routine, too much noise, reading people's body language, group work. A very accessible book for children, with illustrations and large print. -- Home Education Advisory ServiceSofie wanted her classmates to understand her and her autism spectrum disorder so she wrote this book. -- Community Care MagazineWith clear line drawings illustrating text, Sofie tells the reader about her life. She writes about her desire for routine, her difficulty in understanding other people's behaviour, and her sensory sensitivities. -- Community Care MagazineSofie was 11-years old when she wrote the book and the text would be understandable to most children of around that age. It would also be accessible to younger children reading along with an adult. In only 24 pages of text, this book manages to present the reality of living with ASD, avoiding technical language favoured by diagnostic descriptions. Clear, logical and complete - a lovely read for children and adults alike. -- Community Care Magazine
