Hick
In this riveting YA non-fiction set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, trace Lorena Hickok--or Hick's-- rise from devastating childhood to renowned journalist, and watch as she forms the most significant friendship and romantic relationship of her life with first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt. A STONEWALL BOOK AWARD HONOR BOOK - A SHELF AWARENESS AND SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Lorena Hickok came from nothing. She was on her own from the age of 14, cooking and scrubbing for one family after another as she struggled to finish school. But the girl who secretly longed for affection discovered she had a talent with words. That talent allowed Hick to carve out a place for herself in the male-dominated newsrooms of the Midwest where she earned bylines on everything from football to opera to politics. By age 35 she'd become one of the Associated Press's top reporters. At the moment her career was taking off, Hick was assigned to cover Eleanor Roosevelt during FDR's presidential campaign. By the close of 1932, Hick was head over heels in love with the wife of the president-elect. And her life would never be the same. Acclaimed author Sarah Miller read the 3500 letters that exist between Lorena Hickock and Eleanor Roosevelt to reconstruct their friendship and love, and bring Hick's story to a new generation.

Where Are the Everglades?
Journey into the Everglades--a national park in Florida home to hundreds of species of animals from crocodiles to manatees--in this illustrated book for young readers! From the #1 New York Times bestselling Who Was? series comes Where Is?, a series that tells the stories of world-famous landmarks and natural wonders, featuring a foldout map! Long before the Everglades became one of the largest wetlands in the world and a national park, it was covered by a warm, shallow sea. Across millions of years, sea levels dropped, the land below surfaced, and the area transformed into a thriving environment for unique plants and animals like mangrove forests and the Florida panther. By the mid-1800s, most of the Indigenous people living in the Everglades had been killed or forced off the land. By 1900, Florida had become the nation's twenty-seventh state and had begun draining the Everglades to create land for farms and cities. With the loss of so much of the wetlands, native plants and animals began to die off. Although the Everglades is protected today, it still faces several challenges, including pollution and rising sea levels. The Everglades, often called the "River of Grass," is truly a natural treasure, and its history teaches us about the importance of taking care of our environment.

Did a face filled with acne staring back at you make you want to punch the mirror? I felt that way - for many years - until I learned what causes acne and how to get rid of it. Once I did that, once I eliminated the things that were causing my acne, it literally melted away like a snow cone on a hot summer day. How fast, you ask?

The King with the Cold heart
A book that explains narcissism in a child-friendly way. Narcissism is a term that is often used in connection with adult relationships. But children can also sense when someone is only concerned with themselves. Their own needs are often overlooked. I wrote the story "The King with the Cold Heart" to convey this difficult topic in a gentle and child-friendly way. It shows children that their feelings are true and important. They can identify with the main character Flo and learn to better understand their own feelings and put them into words. For parents who are confronted with a toxic (ex)-partner, the book offers a gentle way to talk to their children about narcissistic behavior - at eye level, lovingly and empoweringly. Thank you for lovingly accompanying your child with this book.

I hope it will be a gift for expecting friends or a lullaby for your toddler.
