  Progressive Muscle Relaxation...

  Do you want to introduce your children to body awareness and relaxation to make it easier for them to manage stress and relax both in their childhood and as they are growing up? In Progressive Muscle Relaxation for Children, the kids explore the difference between tense and relaxed muscles by first tensing a particular muscle group and then letting go of the tension. Once the children have worked their way from the feet to the head and relaxed all the muscles, there will be a couple of minutes to rest or listen to the background music before the narrator rounds off the exercise. 
  The audiobook contains an 8-minute-version with background music by Christopher Lloyd Clarke and a 10-minute-version with alternate background music by DreamTunes. The longer alternate version is good when the children have gained some experience working with the exercise or prefer to work their way through the muscles at a slower pace. The relaxation exercise is precisely the same in both versions; the only things that differ, besides the music, are the slightly longer pauses when moving through the steps and the longer time to rest at the end before rounding off. The two versions make up two different audiobook chapters, thereby making it easy to choose which one to listen to using the audio player's chapter selection feature. When bought as an MP3, the two versions will be two separate audio files. 
  The relaxation exercise has been narrated by the author. 
  Tips: When it comes to smaller children, it might be a good idea to turn down the volume as they reach the "resting section" if they start to get restless. Adults who want to introduce the relaxation exercise to their children are recommended to consider it an exercise in body awareness rather than a moment of rest. Tell the children what tensing their muscles means before trying the relaxation for the first time.

  You feel that circle around you?
  		 
  Well, that’s a hip hop hug!” 
  		 
  Starting with beatboxes and fingersnaps, an exuberant narrator introduces kids in his community to the powerful possibilities of rap, from turning “a simple phrase/into imagery that soars” to proclaiming, “this is a voice that represents me!” As Khodi Dill’s rhymes heat up, the diverse crew of kids—illustrated in Awuradwoa Afful’s bold, energetic style—gain self-confidence and a sense of freedom in this wonderful picture book debut that is perfect for reading aloud.

  The Avenger

  The Avenger by Damon Knight - Karson was creating a superman to fight the weird super-monsters who had invaded Earth. But he was forgetting one tiny thing—like calls to like. 
  Peter Karson was dead. He had been dead for some time now, but the dark blood was still oozing from the crushed ruin of his face, trickling down into his sodden sleeve, and falling, drop by slow drop, from his fingertips. His head was tilted over the back of the chair at a queer, unnatural angle, so that the light made deep pools of shadow where his eyes had been. 
  There was no sound in the room except for the small splashing the blood made as it dropped into the sticky pool on the floor. The great banks of machinery around the walls were silent. I knew that they would never come to life again. 
  I rose and walked over to the window. Outside, the stars were as before: tiny, myriad points of light, infinitely far away. They had not changed, and yet they were suddenly no longer friendly. They were cold and alien. It was I who had changed: something inside me was dead, like the machinery, and like Peter. 
  It was a kind of indefinable emptiness. I do not think it was what Peter called an emotion; and yet it had nothing to do with logic, either. It was just an emptiness—a void that could not be filled by eating or drinking. 
  It was not a longing. I had no desire that things should be otherwise than they were. I did not even wish that Peter were not dead, for reason had told me that he had to die. That was the end of it. 
  But the void was still there, unexplainable and impossible to ignore. For the first time in all my life I had found a problem that I could not solve. Strange, disturbing sensations stirred and whispered within me, nagging, gnawing. And suddenly—something moved on the skin of my cheek. I raised a hand to it, slowly. 
  A tear was trickling down my cheek.
