Sinossi

The "BEATRIX POTTER Ultimate Collection" is a comprehensive anthology that presents twenty-two enchanting children's stories, each illustrated with Potter's intricate, original artwork. This collection showcases her whimsical narratives, filled with a blend of anthropomorphic animal characters and pastoral settings, reflecting the early 20th-century British countryside. Potter's literary style combines a simple yet engaging prose, making her tales accessible while also rich in moral lessons and life reflections. The stories, deeply rooted in natural history and ecological awareness, provide both entertainment and education, making them timeless classics in children's literature. Beatrix Potter, an esteemed author and illustrator, was born in 1866 into a well-to-do family in Victorian England. Her upbringing in the Lake District inspired her love for nature, which profoundly influenced her storytelling. A naturalist and an early advocate for conservation, Potter's experiences with animals and her keen observations of their behaviors are beautifully woven into her narratives. Her unique background and artistic inclinations allowed her to craft stories that resonate with both the innocent curiosity of childhood and broader environmental themes. This collection is highly recommended for readers of all ages who wish to immerse themselves in a world of imagination and nature. The exquisite illustrations and delightful tales serve as both a nostalgic reminder of childhood and an invaluable resource for parents seeking to cultivate a love of reading in their children.

On the surface, thirteen-year-old Kaya leads a charmed life. She lives in beautiful, beachy Lihiwai. She has ride-or-die best friends. She’s ultrasmart and killing it at school. She even works with a super-cute boy at her parents’ restaurant.

But as stranger and stranger things happen to Kaya around the sea, she realizes that—wanted or not—she has a special connection to it. Waves rise when she’s angry. Surf smooths when she’s calm. Fish come when she calls them. And when she learns the truth about her family and her divine ancestor, Mazu, she knows that she will need to connect with her most difficult emotions ASAP—or her potent powers may become dangerous to the people she loves.
Kaya of the Ocean is an exciting, fresh, and beautiful middle-grade fantasy about embracing who you really are. This heartfelt adventure of sun, surf, and sand touches on mental health, the immigrant experience, and the complexities of growing up.

The Emotionally Abusive Parent -...

Anne Dryburgh

Certified biblical counselor and long-term missionary Dr. Anne Dryburgh describes in biblical terms what secularists refer to as 'emotional abuse'. From her long experience she explains how an abusive parent relates to a child, and the impact on the child. Her book will assist you in discovering how you can live out the profound truth that in Christ you have everything, including everything for dealing with your childhood experiences.
How this book can help you
The aim of this book is to help you realize that if you have suffered parental emotional abuse, you can live in the truth that in Christ you have everything you need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3; Ephesians 1:3). In Christ you have everything, including everything for dealing with your childhood experiences. That sounds crazy when you think of the suffering you may have endured as you were growing up. It also sounds crazy when the lasting effects clearly impacted who you are, but this book will help you discover how you can live out this profound truth. We will learn what secularists refer to as emotional abuse, how to understand it biblically, what it looks like in how a parent relates to a child, and at the impact on the child. As we look at these effects, we will also look at what is true about being in Christ and how you can live on the basis of who you are in him. We will also meet Laura in several of the chapters, hear about what she suffered, and how she learned to see who she is in Christ and deal graciously with her parent.
What this book is not
Since this is a short book not every question concerning parental emotional abuse could possibly be addressed. It cannot cover every practical issue you may be facing, nor does it present all the Bible teaches on the subject since that would take a much longer book.
