Other Kids Are Kids Almost Just Like You

Christina Engela

Summary

Join a lovable group of children in a delightful romp through an explanation of diversity, understanding it better, encouraging them to be compassionate towards others, regardless of who they are.
Many kids today face bullying from their peers based on differences in race, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity.
In a world where bullying and intolerance of diversity is becoming increasingly a problem, it's important to teach children – and adults – compassion for others.
This book was written to inspire kids (and the adults who read it with kids) who are bullied for being different without focusing too strongly on the bullying angle.
"Author and activist Christina Engela's 'Other Kids are Kids Almost Just Like You' is a small gem, a humorous, non-didactic children's book that sings the joys of difference, whether it be race, sexual orientation or just the pride of individuality. 'Other Kids' teaches a gentle lesson about the serious issue of bullying." "With beautiful illustrations by Amanda M. Lyons and a powerful, humor-infused message to kids: it's not only ok to be different, it's brilliant." – Alex S. Johnson, Author of 'The Doom Hippies'.
"Other Kids Are Kids Almost Just Like You" by Christina Engela celebrates the concept of diversity and how precious every child is. This book is about intolerance, diversity, and bullying and encourages readers to accept everyone, irrespective of their differences based on gender, race, and color. The book also emphasizes being compassionate to everyone, regardless of their color, status, and gender. Bullying and intolerance are relevant topics in today's times and this book is good for read-aloud sessions in classrooms to help children be more tolerant and compassionate towards others. The illustrations lend clarity to the concept and help readers connect with the author's words. The author's approach to the subject is unique and different, and she makes the book appealing to children with the help of colorful illustrations. It is a good book to teach children to be kind and compassionate." - Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite, Oct 17, 2019

Self Confidence For Beginners -...

Marvin N. Gosha

If there is one tool you need to survive in life and live successfully among other humans, it is the power to believe in yourself and in your abilities. Most difficulties in life could be abated if only people knew how powerful they are and how they have the capability to do anything they set out their mind to do.
The lack of self-confidence in people is a worldwide societal phenomenon which has begun to attract massive attention because a lot of people have come to realize how effective self-confidence is in solving many of life’s problems.
The people we admire and wish to be like are those who are confident enough to live the kind of life we desire, and we can become like them or even better if we set our minds to it.
You are just an action away from becoming the person you wish to be, but the problem is that the average person hardly acts; they just wish and hope that what they want will come to them, and then get depressed if it doesn’t. But life does not work that way.
All that you need is available and could become yours if you make up your mind that you are not going to be in the statistic called “average person”.
You need to become deliberate about giving your life the kind of meaning you want it to have and the very first step you should take is to build your self-confidence.
When you believe that you are capable of achieving what you want to achieve and becoming the person you desire to be, nothing else can stop you. You will become in charge of your own life. And that is how it is supposed to be.
Throughout the chapters of this audiobook, I will be walking you through the journey of self-confidence. Yes, it is a journey because self-confidence does not happen overnight; it develops over time.Good work and good listening!

You'll find a deep dive into Bitcoin's development since its inception in 2008 and an outlook on the future of cryptocurrency based on Bitcoin.
While mainstream media and economic pundits in the Western world think that it's just a tool for speculation, my goal is to spread the word about Bitcoin as an enabler of financial fairness and social change. What goes unmentioned in most other publications are the positive real world implications that a truly permissionless, uncensorable, neutral digital asset with a fixed supply offers.
Later the cryptocurrency book focuses on the more practical applications of Bitcoin (BTC) and how you can safely acquire, use and store it.
This is not financial advice, it's for people who want to (l)earn and understand the fundamentals of Bitcoin.
