Skinner House Books Goodness Gracious: A Gratitude Book for Children
Book SynopsisHelp children cultivate a practice of gratitude and a sense of wonder for the world around them with GOODNESS GRACIOUS. Meaningful, sweet and sometimes downright silly, Kathleen A. Green's "thankful thoughts," her child-friendly term for expressions of gratitude, help children say thank you for all aspects of their lives, from the earth and their families to their pets, teachers and even mac and cheese!Trade Review“Goodness Gracious provides an excellent resource for teachers and parents who want to cultivate gratitude in small children and help them to verbalize wonder and appreciation for the natural world and for humanity. This collection of short songs, chants, and poems could resonate for small children of any religion or religions, or who are spiritual, or humanist, or any combination of those identities.” —Susan Katz Miller, author of The Interfaith Family Journal and Being Both: Embracing Two Religions in One Interfaith Family “What a collection! There’s a prayer or grace for every occasion here, from giving thanks for pets and teachers to releasing fear about the ‘monster’ under the bed. I’m impressed by how gracefully these prayers address situations that are important to children—grandma moving away, feeling connected to the earth—yet are underrepresented in traditional collections. The prayers are in simple, vivid language to help children of all ages explore big feelings and connect those feelings to values like gratitude and wonder. And I’m delighted that many of these prayers can be sung to familiar tunes! I can imagine a child and parent singing a prayer together, day after day, as the song helps the prayer root into memory.” —Rev. Erika Hewitt, author of Story, Song and Spirit: Fun and Creative Worship Services for All Ages

Skyhorse Publishing Flight of the Reindeer: The True Story of Santa
Book SynopsisDid you know that Santa Claus returns to the North Pole 1,756 times during Christmas Eve? Or that he averages about 75 million miles over the course of 31 hours? Back in 1000 AD his sleigh was originally made of bone and ivory, but now it's entirely constructed of graphite and stainless steel, even providing a durable swivel seat!Indeed, there has never been anything quite like Flight of the Reindeer. Most, if not all writers, have approached the adored Santa Claus tale in a variety of ways, but none have tried to explore the reasons behind it. Robert Sullivan provides documentation from Santalogists, historians, zoologists, and Arctic explorers to confirm that flying reindeer are anything but a myth, and that Santa Claus does, in fact, make his trek around the globe each Christmas Eve. Glenn Wolff's insightful and profoundly detailed illustrations impeccably coincide with Sullivan's comprehensive research to provide a classic for children and their parents. A must-have for the holiday season!

National Science Teachers Association Making Sense of Science and Religion: Strategies
Book SynopsisThe authors of Making Sense of Science and Religion believe that addressing interactions between science and religion is part of all science educators’ collective job—and that this is the book that will help you facilitate discussion when the topic of religion comes up.Designed for teachers at all grade levels, the book will help you anticipate and respond to students’ questions—and help students reconcile their religious beliefs even as you delve into topics such as evolution, geochronology, genetics, the origin of the universe, and climate change.The book is divided into three parts: 1. Historical and cultural context, plus a framework for addressing science-religion issues in a legal, constitutional manner. 2. Guidance on teaching specific scientific concepts at every grade level: elementary, middle, and high school science, as well as college and informal science settings. 3. Advice for engaging families, administrators, school boards, legislators and policy makers, and faith communities. The book’s authors are all personally and professionally invested in the subject. They are a mix of K–12 teachers, college professors, and experts from organizations such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. They know that teaching about the interaction between science and religion is not easy.But they also know that educators have an ethical obligation to minimize the perceived conflict between science and religion. As the authors write, “When students hear a consistent message during science instruction—that they can learn science while maintaining their religious beliefs—they are much more willing to learn regardless of messages to the contrary that they might hear outside of your classroom.”
