Tilbury House,U.S. Tyaja Uses the THiNK Test
Book SynopsisMs. Snowden introduces the THiNK Test to Tyaja’s class.Trade Review"Mindfulness teacher Ms. Snowden begins this book by saying, "Let's talk about the power of words," and that is exactly what it accomplishes. This is an easy-to-understand book about the importance of consciously selecting words that are True, Helpful, Necessary, and Kind. When Ms. Snowden writes the acronym THNK on the board, she explains that the missing "i" represents the thinker in the THiNK Test. Later that day, Tyaja, a little black girl with kinky-curly hair, decides to tell her friend Rosie, a little white girl, that she does not like Rosie's new haircut. Suddenly "four tiny winged people" appear, each representing one of the words in the THiNK Test acronym. These wee advisers give Tyaja enough information about the words they represent to help her determine whether what she wants to tell Rosie passes the THiNK Test. "Isn't there a difference between an opinion and the truth?" asks Mr. True. Miss Helpful suggests that, since Rosie can't do anything about her haircut anyway, Tyaja's offering that opinion is anything but. This book is part of a series (Sergio Sees the Good, 2019, etc.) that features children of different races and abilities in various social learning situations. In this particular offering, the skin tones and facial features of some of the characters change significantly from page to page, which may distract readers. A great book to share with children for social-emotional learning. (author's note) (Picture book. 5-10) " -- Kirkus Reviews" 5 Stars! What did you like about the book? This book is a wonderful tool to help children make the right choices in communicating with others.One young girl named Tyaja puts this process to the test when she wants to comment on her friend’s new haircut. Tyaja does not like her haircut and feels that she is being truthful and it is necessary to tell her friend how she feels. However, she is visited by the “THINK fairies” and they help her work through this dilemma. This was important because children can walk through their own scenarios and determine what they would do in situations in their own lives. To whom would you recommend this book? Perfect for children between the ages of five and eight. Who should buy this book? Public and elementary school libraries, anyone who works with children between the ages of five and eight. Should we (librarians/readers) put this on the top of our “to read” piles? Yes " -- Kristin Guay, former youth librarian - Youth Services Book Review"These delightful, captivating books are full of powerful practical methods for kids - and their parents." -- Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Resilient, Hardwiring Happiness, and Buddha’s Brain

Inter-Varsity Press A New Day: Moving On From Hunger, Anxiety,
Book Synopsis* Can I break free from my eating disorder? * Why do I struggle with such anxiety? * Where can I go with my shame and despair? * Does my life have to be like this? 'I'm controlling and insecure and desperate to prove my own worth,' admits Emma Scrivener, and then goes on, 'I'm a Christian, but I don't always feel like it.' There are lots of how-to books out there. In terms of the practicalities of recovery, they're brilliant. What they don't address is the spiritual dimension. However, even when writing about 'spiritual recovery', the author confesses that it's tempting to offer some sort of programme or strategy. 'But I don't think I've got one,' she says. What she does offer are practical suggestions for how to apply core gospel truths to practical circumstances. With honesty and examples from real life (including her own), Emma connects with her reader. She shows how the gospel can speak to every heart and every addiction, equipping readers with confidence in Christ's sufficiency and the power of his Word and Spirit to bring change where change seems impossible.Trade ReviewBrilliant. Packed with wise thoughts and advice. * Evangelicals Now *An invaluable resource. * Inspire Magazine *A remarkable and unique book… Emma has shown great courage yet again in writing about her own pain and brokenness in order to speak into a huge range of personal crises, but she does so with creativity, deep pastoral sensitivity and clear gospel conviction. This is a rare book that can truly speak into the darkness of our pain without any judgements, at the same time as holding out the genuine hope of lasting change. -- Mark Meynell * Blogger, author and Langham Partnership *Emma’s humility, gentleness and confidence in God weave through every page as she encourages fellow strugglers to move from darkness to light. -- Helen Thorne * Biblical Counselling UK *Emma shares her scars… And if we groan "me too", then we need to take time not only to see our chains, but also rejoice in the real, grounded, hard-won, tear-stained, Christ-centred answers Emma so wonderfully holds out to us. -- Rico Tice * Minister for Evangelism, All Souls Langham Place, London *Shows the ability of the gospel to connect gloriously with raw life, pain and need. -- Joel Virgo * Senior Pastor, Church of Christ the King, Brighton *

Children will understand the narrative easily and empathize with Ben. Gusti's watercolors are loose and flowing, similar to those of Chris Raschka. The bright nails stand out from the earth tones of the characters' skin, hair, and clothing. The love between the family is depicted through physical contact, and Ben's smile and rosy cheeks light up the final page, as he flaunts his blue polish while wearing a birthday hat. ~School Library JournalI Love my Colorful Nails validates children to express themselves as they desire and models being an upstander. - First Thursday Book ReviewsThis picture book offers a very approachable way to talk about gender expectations and how even small expressions of difference are important. A great book about gender nonconforming behavior in children and how a school can be a place of safety. - Walking Brain CellsIn exuberant illustrations, Gusti uses a strong, playful brown line and warm swathes of color to depict Ben's loving, contemporary family (along with adorable cat), his multiracial classroom and the streets of his city. While the text doesn't tell us how the ending comes about, it still highlights how loving family members, friends and educators can effect change. ~Shelf AwarenessA young boy who loves to paint his nails in cheerful colors is made fun of at school. His father and those around him paint their nails to stand against Ben's bullies, encouraging him to be himself, despite what others think. This picture book touches on emotions, being yourself, and peaceful solutions to negative confrontation. ~IndieBound

Book SynopsisThe monkey is gathering all the jungle animals for a farting contest. The hippo, the elephant, a shy giraffe, and a very refined zebra are all competing, but no one can guess who the winner will be.Rafael Ordóñez Cuadrado is a poet and author of picture books, riddles, stories, plays, and recipes. He has published scores of books with some of the most prestigious publishing houses in Spain: fairy tales, riddles, a comic, two plays, a book of tourism stories, and more.Laure du Fäy studied illustration in the École des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg and lives in Paris. She has published comics in France and Italy, but her main focus is picture books for kids. She has published in the United States, France, Spain, Holland, Switzerland, and China. Her book That’s Not Normal! was selected by the White Ravens.Trade Review“The author offers this frank fable of flatulence that, at its core, says sometimes a toot can make a tummy feel better (and it’s really nothing to make fun of). French artist du Fäy’s Matisse-y, blocky, colorful illustrations of cartoon creatures competitively cutting the cheese are perfectly in keeping with the cheeky tone of the text. A hoot about toots with a health lesson to boot.” ― Kirkus ReviewsI can’t resist this funny, funny book! Any audience you read this to will roll on the floor with laughter. ~Kiss the Book
