Mind Game
A deep look into how even the best athletes struggle with and persevere through mental illness. In growing numbers, athletes are speaking up about their struggles with mental illness--including high-profile stars such as Michael Phelps, Kevin Love, Simone Biles, and Naomi Osaka. More disclosures are surely on the way, as athletes recognize that their openness can help others and inspire those around them. In Mind Game: An Inside Look at the Mental Health Playbook of Elite Athletes, Julie Kliegman offers insight into how elite athletes navigate mental performance and mental illness--and what non-athletes can learn from them. She explores the recent mental health movement in sports, the history and practice of sport psychology, the stereotypes and stigmas that lead athletes to keep their troubles to themselves, and the ways in which injury and retirement can throw wrenches in their mental states. Kliegman also examines the impacts of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use, and more, with a keen eye toward moving forward with acceptance, progress, and problem-solving. Featuring insightful interviews with Olympians Chloe Kim, McKayla Maroney, and Adam Rippon, NBA players Kevin Love and DeMar DeRozan, former U.S. Open tennis champ Bianca Andreescu, and many other athletes and experts, Mind Game breaks down the ongoing, heartening movement of athletes across sports coming forward to get the care they need and deserve--and to help others feel safe opening up about their struggles, as well.

The Bible Storybook
As a young churchgoer, I was fascinated by the stories of the Bible that I heard in Sunday school. I vividly remember listening to the stories of Joseph, David, Moses, and the burning bush, among many others, with rapt attention. The way in which these stories were narrated in simple terms that even a toddler could understand left a lasting impact on me. It was through these stories that I learned about the wonders and power of God, and they laid the foundation for my faith later in my adulthood.It is from this background that I felt the need to create a resource that would enable children to experience the same wonder and excitement that I felt as a child. I wanted to write a book that would make Bible stories accessible to children in their own language and with a format that is engaging and fun. That's why I decided to write "The Bible Storybook: 50 Exciting Bible Tales for Kids", a collection of fifty captivating stories that bring the stories of the Bible to life in a way that children can understand.The book is not just a retelling of stories; it also includes multiple-choice questions at the end of each story to test the reader's comprehension of the material.

The answer key provided at the end of the book makes it easy for parents and teachers to assess their child's progress.I hope that this book will help children develop a deeper understanding of the Bible and the lessons that it teaches. I believe that this resource will help them lay a strong foundation for their faith and inspire them to pursue a deeper relationship with God. "The Bible Storybook: 50 Exciting Bible Tales for Kids " is a must-read for any child who wants to experience the incredible journey of God's people and learn about the power and wonders of God."Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it" Proverbs 22:6
Rising from the Ashes
In the spring of 1992, after a jury returned not guilty verdicts in the trial of four police officers charged in the brutal beating of a Black man, Rodney King, Los Angeles was torn apart. Thousands of fires were set, causing more than a billion dollars in damage. In neighborhoods abandoned by the police, protestors and storeowners exchanged gunfire. More than 12,000 people were arrested and 2,400 injured. Sixty-three died.In Rising from the Ashes, award-winning author Paula Yoo draws on the experience of the city's Korean American community to narrate and illuminate this uprising, from the racism that created economically disadvantaged neighborhoods torn by drugs and gang-related violence, to the tensions between the city's minority communities. At its heart are the stories of three lives and three families: those of Rodney King; of Latasha Harlins, a Black teenager shot and killed by a Korean American storeowner; and Edward Jae Song Lee, a Korean American man killed in the unrest. Woven throughout, and set against a minute-by-minute account of the uprising, are the voices of dozens others: police officers, firefighters, journalists, business owners, and activists whose recollections give texture and perspective to the events of those five days in 1992 and their impact over the years that followed.

I utilized Alexa a great deal and focused on sports to stay in shape.My parents helped me sort out techniques such as deep breathing, frequency music, and stating daily affirmations, to help with the feeling of anxiety and to overcome the long days of being inside and isolated.I applied the same techniques which helped me conquer the first day at a new school.

Nurse Florence(R) for the Visually Impaired with Illustrator Lorie Brooker
Sometimes it seems only a nurse can bring technical information down to an understanding that an ordinary person can grasp. The Nurse Florence(R) book series provides high quality medical information that even a child can grasp. By introducing young kids to correct terminology and science concepts at an early age, we can help increase our children's health literacy level as well as help to prepare them for courses and jobs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. We need more scientists so I hope that many children will enjoy this book series and consider a job involving science. Introducing Some Medical Words to Kids in Every Book The four included Nurse Florence books are: How Do We Speak? What is Bacterial Meningitis? What is Gout? What is Atrial Fibrillation? Inside text has 1.5 line spacing and font sizes are up to 40.

Why Me? Positive Verse for Loss & Sadness
Why Me? Positive Verse for Loss and Sadness eloquently guides both young and old readers through life's sometimes catastrophic events. Using poetic free verse, Phebe Phillips leads her readers into awareness that each of us is special and that indeed, each of us is loved.Why Me? is designed to bring words of comfort to those affected by life-changing events such as a death, the heart-breaking loss of a pet, a change in family structure, or one of life's many challenges and disappointments.Beautifully illustrated in chalk pastels, Phebe frees each reader to use their own imagination as she weaves her story to include diverse portrayals of ethnicity and gender while using animals in human form. Many illustrations hold a deeper meaning than what may be seen upon first glance, such as in the illustration for "Sometimes things leave..." which represents the ladder to the sky as a DNA double helix marked with hydrogen bonds.This story was originally created at the suggestion of the Dallas Chapter of the American Red Cross to address positively the hard subjects of loss and sadness. Since its beginning 4000 copies have been placed in the ARC's Emergency Response Vehicles for distribution to those in need of comforting words. Why Me? is appropriate for all ages, and is also available in Spanish.
