American Psychological Association Too Nice
Amy's tired of giving her things away, tired of getting stuck with the jobs nobody wants, and tired of feeling angry and sad. "You're too nice," says Amy's best friend, Kate. Amy's not sure what "too nice" means, but she sure knows how it feels: rotten. She's tired of giving her things away, tired of getting stuck with the jobs nobody wants, and tired of feeling angry and sad. But with a little help and practice, she starts learning how to be friendly yet take care of herself at the same time. Soon she discovers that when she stops being "Too Nice Amy," everyone is happier, including Amy! Includes a Dear Reader introduction:Many kids are just like Amy in this book. Even I was just like Amy when I was her age. Kids sometimes think that if they don't do what other people ask, then others won't like them anymore or will get mad. But as Amy discovers (and you have probably noticed in your own life), it just isn't possible to please everybody. It may even seem that the more you try, the more other people get annoyed at you or take advantage of you. And you end up feeling sad, angry, resentful, or just plain tired.

American Psychological Association My Grandma's the Mayor
Young readers will cheer for Annie as she discovers her own community spirit and the pride and pleasure that come from giving of oneself. Annie's grandmother used to be lots of fun, but things have changed. Now Grandma is the mayor, and she doesn't have much time to spend with Annie anymore. With Grandma suddenly very busy and important, Annie feels left out. But late one night, after a terrible fire breaks out in a neighborhood apartment building, Annie comes to feel proud of her capable, caring grandmother — and of herself, too! At first I wanted Grandma to be the mayor. I even helped her get the job. I passed out flyers, helped put up signs, and stuffed envelopes for her campaign. I thought all she would have to do was ride on a float in the Fourth of July parade, be on television, and lead the Pledge of Allegiance. And then I could say, “That’s my Grandma. She’s the mayor.” But I’ve changed my mind. Now that she got elected, I don’t think it’s such a good idea. Do you want to know why?
