Beschreibung

He was named “Sham” for the sun, this golden-red stallion born in the Sultan of Morocco’s stone stables. Upon his heel was a small white spot, the symbol of speed. But on his chest was the symbol of misfortune. Although he was swift as the desert winds, Sham’s pedigree would be scorned all his life by cruel masters and owners.This is the classic story of Sham and his friend, the stable boy Agba. Their adventures take them from the sands of the Sahara to the royal courts of France, and finally to the green pastures and stately homes of England. For Sham was the renowned Godolphin Arabian, whose blood flows through the veins of almost every superior thoroughbred. Sham’s speed—like his story—has become legendary.

When winter comes, Claus is not able to walk to the village anymore. One day Claus meets magic deer that encourage him to make a sleigh so they can pull him across the snow into the nearby town. When Claus arrives in the village everyone is sleeping. So the deer carry Claus, and the sleigh, to the rooftop so Claus can climb down the chimney to deliver presents. And so it continues that on every Christmas Eve, with a sack full of toys, and reindeer to pull his sleigh, Santa Claus delivers presents to every little girl and boy.

    The author of The Kid’s User Guide to a Human Life: Book One: An Open Mind returns with mindfulness techniques for dealing with emotions.   The second book in the Kid’s User Guide to a Human Life series teaches kids (and inner kids) about mindfulness techniques for working with emotions. It looks closely at how feelings arise and how to navigate the sometimes tumultuous river of emotions, and it shares simple, yet very effective, ways to sort through them. Through different techniques, kids will be able to learn more about being mindful and figuring out how they feel to help lead them towards better emotional well-being and health.   The Kid’s User Guide to a Human Life series helps the reader discover the answer to the question “Who am I really?” by explaining all the ways in which we change and shift from one role in our life to the next, and how even our body doesn’t stay the same for long. It is great for parents, teachers, and counselors who are interested in learning more about mindfulness for kids and how to discuss and teach the important points and ideas.

    Lauren has a secret. Colby has a problem. But when they find each other, everything falls into place. From the author of the Charmed Life series. 
     
    In alternating chapters of verse and prose, new girl Lauren and football hero Colby come together, fall apart, and build something stronger than either of them thought possible—something to truly believe in. 
     
    “Writing in alternating viewpoints, with Lauren’s chapters unfolding in free verse and Colby’s in prose, Schroeder (Falling for You) offers a thoughtful, straightforward, and fairly chaste romance between two kind, generous teens—one burdened by her past, one burdened by his future.” —Publishers Weekly 
     
    “The alternating chapters of Lauren’s poetry and Colby’s conversational prose are well written and help reveal the characters refreshingly unique perspectives, as well as their growth in positive ways . . . This light, fast-paced story will delight romance fans looking for a fun, hopeful read.” —School Library Journal 
     
    “Familiar characters and a quiet plot are elevated by poetry that is as beautiful as it is varied. Lovely in its details.” —Kirkus Reviews
