A funny, frank contemporary story about navigating the physical and emotional realities of growing up.When four friends have their phones…
confiscated in class, Sunny (not her real name) comes up with the idea of a secret shared journal, where they can communicate, share thoughts and pass them on. The pages of the book they jokingly refer to as the P.A.D. (pass-around diary) become filled with sweet, funny, sharp and important insights that speak to navigating middle grade life—friendships, crushes, consent, bodies, parents, siblings, periods, sports and student life.What began as a lighthearted way of passing notes becomes a poignant and heartfelt way to explore and share big and small feelings and events—a safe way for Sunny, Twix, Hoops and MP to find themselves, and support one another, through all the transitions of a grade seven year. In the tradition of Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, this novel is a fearless exploration of the lives of tween girls, and how they find answers to questions that continue to feel impossible to ask.Mi’kmaw Moons: The Seasons in Mi'kma'ki

the image descriptions, which are included in the body and narration of the text. Finalist, Lambda Literary Award and Doug Wright Award. In the fall of 2017, the acclaimed writer and musician Vivek Shraya began receiving vivid and disturbing transphobic hate mail from a stranger. Celebrated artist Ness Lee brings these letters and Shraya's responses to them to startling life in Death Threat, a comic book that, by its existence, becomes a compelling act of resistance. Using satire and surrealism, Death Threat is an unflinching portrayal of violent harassment from the perspective of both the perpetrator and the target, illustrating the dangers of online accessibility, and the ease with which vitriolic hatred can be spread digitally.Come, Read With Me

By Kate Duke. 2000
Twenty guinea pigs can be too many--especially if all of them are crammed on a small and tipsy boat. In…
this charming and boisterous book about subtraction, the guinea pigs begin to jump ship, each in his or her own funny and unique way. While children follow the story of the ever-shrinking gang of guinea pigs, they can count the furry pals leaping on and around oversized numerals representing the number of cavorting cavies on the page. A simple equation that shows the subtraction is printed along the bottom of each spread, reinforcing the concept.Like its successful predecessor, One Guinea Pig Is Not Enough, this book tells a story while teaching a number concept.A Linguagem Corporal Dos Cães Com Ilustrações -Ajude Na Segurança Dos Seus Filhos
By Elvira Sousa, Amber Richards. 2015
A maior parte das vezes, como pais, não nos preocupamos em ensinar aos nossos filhos regras de segurança no que…
diz respeito a cães até surgir uma situação de perigo. Então, já não há tempo para ensinar, porque temos de agir rapidamente. Qualquer prevenção demora muito tempo. Mesmo não sendo donos de um cão, devemos ensinar aos nossos filhos a lidar com cães em diferentes situações. Este livro pode ser lido por um adulto a uma criança que tenha medo de cães, ou a uma criança que seja demasiado confiante, mas que precisa de aprender a ter mais respeito. No início do livro, os pais podem encontrar algum aconselhamento sobre a leitura, que deverá ser feita previa e integralmente antes da abordagem com a criança. Os pais conhecem a fase de desenvolvimento dos seus filhos, o seu temperamento e a sua experiência vivida com cães melhor do que ninguém. Todos estes factores se interligam quando se trata de ensinar sobre segurança e cães. Infelizmente, é uma temática à qual não damos muita importância. Como autora, não pretendi escrever um livro assustador, mas sim, um livro que ensina e encoraja a uma relação saudável entre a criança e o cão. O livro termina com algumas gravuras engraçadas para concluir com um tom mais ligeiro.Jagannath

Le Guin herself.
