A Story for Children, P-E-A-R-L-S of Wisdom for their Parents 

Complemented by exquisite, colorful artwork, Dr. Zelinger skillfully crafts an easily relatable children's story using everyday situations, around the oppressive concept of Terrorism in the news. With a masterful understanding of the child's world, new and frightening concepts are introduced carefully and gently, with the child's perspective in mind. Dr. Zelinger provides parent coaching to further the dialogue in her P-E-A-R-L-S of Wisdom section (Prepare, Explain, Answer, Reassure, Listen, Safeguard) where caregivers are given scripts to guide them, as well room for individuality. This pioneering book helps children and parents face a critical, often avoided topic with reassurance and calm.

Review: This book is basically two books in one. Along with a story for children which allows for an honest discussion of the subject, there are also several pages intended for parents/adults. Those pages include scripts to use for those who might not be sure how to begin the discussion, and they allow opportunities for adults to tailor them to the situation.

The illustrations in the children's part of the book are realistic and engaging. They will help draw children into the story without being frightening. The fact that the story is told from a child's point of view will also help youngsters be more engaged with it as well.

I highly recommend this to anyone with children in their lives, as this is such a prevalent topic in today's world.

Rating: Five stars

"This book provides the 'PEARLS' of wisdom for parents and children to discuss a scary topic like terrorism in ways that promote healthy and authentic parent-child conversations that yield to mutual respect and bonding." 

--Marc A. Brackett, PhD., Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence

--Hon. Yehuda Lancry, Former Ambassador of Israel to the U.N.

"Please Explain 'Terrorism' to Me is a straightforward and down-to-earth treatment of a difficult subject. Dr. Zelinger uses common sense, a simple clarification of the basic issues, and reassurance to provide a deeper understanding of terrorism for kids--without a corresponding rise in anxiety."

Life with a special need child has its fair share of challenges. These challenges are not only for the parents but extend to those other wonderful little children, the siblings.

From Loving Healing Press http://www.lhpress.com/

"As a mother, and advocate for, special needs children, I highly recommend this book as a learning tool for others. I gave my child a voice, as this author is doing for his, and I applaud him for it." -- Chynna Laird, author of I'm Not Weird, I Have Sensory Processing Disorder and Not Just Spirited

"Engaging and lighthearted, My Brother is Special captures what children with cerebral palsy and their families may experience. The characters are loveable and entertaining. Children will enjoy this book and relate to their experiences" -- Jill Osborne, EDS, LPC, CPC, RPTS, author of Sam Feels Better Now

Review:   This is a superb story. It tells readers about two brothers, the older of whom has Cerebral Palsy. It would be fitting for any family where one sibling has a condition which makes them "different," however. It is also good just to teach children that not everyone is the same.

The book is written in rhyming text, and is very easy to read. The illustrations are bright and colorful to hold a young child's attention. 

I received this book through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

About the author
From an early age, Murray was artistic. His favorite pastime was and still is doodling cute and fun little characters. As Murray entered the working world he utilized his natural creative talent in his graphic design profession. Illustrating being his true love, Murray started looking for freelance illustration work. Murray had no idea that answering a Kijiji ad would help his long time ambitions come to life. A well-known children’s book author and disability advocate, Jewel Kats gave him a shot at illustrating one of her children’s books. That experience gave Murray the courage to pursue other illustration contracts. Murray had an instant connection to Jewel, through the world of physical disability. Murray’s oldest son Ethan had a stroke at birth causing CP and other life altering conditions. With his new found courage and through the help of Victor R. Volkman and Loving Healing Press Murray brings this wonderful story to children everywhere. Murray’s hope is those siblings of children with disabilities will know they too are not alone.

                  Book Information

• Age Range: 7 - 9 years
• Grade Level: 2 - 3
• Paperback: 186 pages
• Publisher: Your Stories Matter (January 30, 2017)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 1909320641
• ISBN-13: 978-1909320642

Synopsis: This book works on several levels. It is a lovely story in itself that most children will relate to, dealing as it does with lack of self-belief, peer pressure and the bullying that goes along with not necessarily being the most popular kid in class. These issues can be readily picked up in school and discussed in circle time and PSHE (citizenship) lessons.

But it goes deeper. Whilst not named in the book explicitly, the three main characters exhibit dyspraxic, dyslexic and autistic (Asperger's Syndrome) tendencies respectively. So the story can be used by parents and teachers as a catalyst for discussing what it is like to have a learning difficulty. In schools, teachers can use the book on a one-to-one, group or class basis to help raise awareness and improve well-being.

Both author and illustrator are keen to raise awareness of specific learning difficulties in a way accessible to children. The illustrator is herself autistic.

Purchase on Amazon UK | Amazon.com

Review:  This is a fun yet educational story. As someone who has always had "daydreaming" issues, even without being diagnosed with a learning issue, I saw a lot of younger me in Vera. I enjoyed the way it gets across the idea that everyone has their own strengths and struggles. It is also full of examples of accepting and understanding differences.   Also, as a huge lover of penguins, there is an added reason to enjoy reading the story and looking at the illustrations. (No spoilers...you have to read it! LOL)

Rating: Five stars

Synopsis: Charley always seemed to get into trouble, though he didn't mean to. He was getting fed up of going to school because he felt different than most of the other kids. Then he met his Aunty Bella and everything changed. This book is about dyspraxia, a neurological condition affecting 1 in 10 people, yet still very misunderstood. We chose not to name it in the story because this book is for every child that is different. 

Purchase on Amazon UK | Amazon.com

Review: This little book is wonderful for any child who might feel different from his or her classmates. Charley is described as being "about your age" so that he is instantly relatable to any reader. I love that the illustrations begin as black and white when Charley is sad and upset, and then begin to have color as he learns he is not the only one with this issue.

I also think it is very helpful that there are a couple of pages for teachers/parents which talk about several special education issues, for those who may not be sure exactly what they are. 

Highly recommend this for all early elementary children.

Rating: Five stars

About the author

The author grew up with dyspraxia and watched her daughter do the same. Driven by frustration at people's misunderstanding of this condition, particularly within the education system, Jane Binnion decided to write a children's book that would hopefully get children and adults talking about what it is like to be different and why this is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it should be something to be celebrated!

Synopsis: This story, written by the parent of a child with Dyspraxia and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), paves the way for parents, teachers and medical professionals to discuss these specific learning difficulties with children (aged around 7-9).

Unlike most other books on the subject, this book has been written from a child's perspective: enabling young people to ask questions of the story in a non-threatening way and encouraging them to discover how it relates to them.

This book can be shared with children having special needs, their family, or their classmates.

As with all of its books, the publisher aims to help people know they are not alone with what makes them different. If a young person or adult can relate to a story, it gives them hope and encourages them to share their concerns. The publisher aims to provide free teaching resources for all of its books that can be used in schools, to help improve understanding and celebrate differences.

Review: This is a wonderful look at the life of a child with dyspraxia and sensory processing disorder, as well as the impact it has on the family, particularly a sibling. It is also a great tool for explaining to children in the target age group about these learning difficulties.  It is poignant for adult readers who realize that it is a true story about a real family. 

Rating: Five stars

Where Jesus Slept by Norma Lewis (author) and Katy Hudson (illustrator) #WhereJesusSlept #flyby

About the book:

“This is the bed where Jesus slept. This is the straw that lined the bed where Jesus slept.” From here, the story builds with each spread, adding a new element and explaining the relationships among the participants and witnesses to the first Christmas. From Jesus sleeping sweetly to the wise men bringing gifts, this charming book reminds readers young and not-so-young of the joyous event we celebrate at Christmastime. Children will love the delightful illustrations and the engaging repetition in this cumulative tale.

Format: jacketed hardcover

Trim size: 10x10

Page count: 32

Retail price: $16.99

Reading age: 4-7

My Review: This is a sweet Christmas story, written in the same form as The House That Jack Built. The continued repetition of the text makes it easy for small children to catch on and perhaps repeat some of it with the adult reader each time it repeats. 

The illustrations are marvelous. They are very eye-catching, and perfectly illustrate the text on each page without appearing too busy.

My only complaint with the story is that Joseph is never mentioned, and isn't even pictured until the next to the last page of the book. Other than that, it is a book that could easily become part of the family tradition of Christmas.

**I accepted a copy of this book from Flyby Promotions with no expectation of a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.**

My Rating: Five stars

About the author Norma Lewis is the author of ten books. She lives in Grand Haven, MI, with a marmalade cat named Scalawag. They both love spending time with her six grandchildren, ranging in age from three to twenty.

About the illustrator
Katy was raised in Middlesbrough and started her Illustration career as a small child drawing on freshly emulsioned walls around the house! Her parents quickly dissuaded this medium and encouraged drawing with pencil and paper instead.

The idea stuck (the pencil was updated to an ink pot and pen in some cases) and after some lovely time at Art College and a degree in Illustration Katy is now a freelance Illustrator working at a desk in an old London library.

Amelia,The Venutons and the Golden Cage (Amelia's Amazing Space Adventures #2) by Evonne Blanchard

Book Information

• Series: Amelia's Amazing Space Adventures
• Paperback: 62 pages
• Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (March 15, 2016)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 1523636718
• ISBN-13: 978-1523636716

Synopsis: 'Amelia, the Venutons and the Golden Cage,' is the second book in Amelia's Amazing Space Adventures; an exciting series set in outer space, for children ages 5-9.

Uglesnoo needs Amelia's help. His sister is very sick. The only cure is a repelling crystal from Neptune. With his Earthling friend, Amelia, they must continue their quest. More items are needed to buy the crystal. But Venus is full of danger and angry aliens. Are Uglesnoo and Amelia in over their heads?

Curious as to how the adventure began? In the first book, 'Amelia, the Moochins and the Sapphire Palace,' Amelia opens a present. A present that's not a present. No, it's a friendly looking alien from the planet Pluto. Uglesnoo needs to leave right away for the Moon. Uglesnoo also desperately needs Amelia's help. His sister is very sick. Should Amelia venture into outer space?

Review: Although this is the second book in a series, it is easily read as a stand alone story. It would be a wonderful choice for young readers who want a book that is more challenging than a picture book, but who aren't quite ready for chapter books.

The illustrations are bright and colorful, bringing the story to life on each page. There is more text per page than on a simple picture book, but not so much that it would be overwhelming for the young reader.

The theme of this book makes it a great tool for nurturing a young child's interest in science or outer space. It could lead to discussions, research, and lots of learning. If I were still teaching kindergarten, I would definitely use this series as a lead in to a science lesson.

Rating: Five stars

Title: I Have Faith
Author: Davin Whitehurst
Publisher: Childlike Faith Publishing
Pages: 26
Genre:  Children

Are you ready to get your child excited about faith? “I Have Faith” puts your child right in the footsteps of Danny as he begins to learn about faith. Danny and his older brother have been wanting a dog, but both know their parents don’t think they are ready for a dog. When Danny’s mom begins teaching him what the bible says about faith, he puts his faith into action. After praying and releasing his faith for a dog, doubt and even his best friend keep telling him that he will never get a dog. Over time Danny never loses his faith in the promises of God and finds that God is faithful and that faith works. Come along on this journey that is a real life event that took place in the author’s life as a child.

This book has great illustrations that support a wonderful story about finding faith in God. As you are teaching your child about principals in the bible; this book will help you teach faith. What a wonderful experience it is when we can see our children begin to develop their faith in God, and grow from a tiny mustard seed to a firmly planted tree. The back of the book has a parent/child discussion which will help children gain understanding in faith and some scriptures that Danny’s mom used to get him excited about faith.

For More Information

Review: I love this little book! As you can see above and below, the illustrations are beautiful, and the excerpt below, from the first two pages, shows how simple and easy to read the text is.

The story is a great way to teach young children about faith--what it means, why it is important, etc. At the back of the book, you will find discussion questions to enforce the message of the book, Bible verses about faith, written in language children can understand, and a parent guide to help lead discussion with your child.

I highly recommend this book to any parent/grandparent/adult who wants to introduce a child to faith.

When they get older, they know where to turn and will not depart from God. Davin wants each book written to be a resource that parents have to help train their children in the way they should go. He writes stories in a simple way that will be fun and practical for every child. He wants children to get excited about faith and the things of God.

BOOK TRAILER



Review: This is a wonderful book for encouraging children to realize that they can do important things no matter their size. Crystal may be one of the smallest angels in Heaven, but she ends up playing a hugely important role in the Nativity.

The story is easy to read, and the illustrations are beautiful.  Portions of the story are not exactly Biblical, but that doesn't deter from the message of the story, in my opinion.

This would be a wonderful book to add to your library of Christmas tales.
