Nana's new husband Bob has a grandaughter named Hortense. They were friends last summer - but over the winter she's changed and the tentative friendship they shared seems a thing of the past. At the cottage again for a summer holiday, the protagonist is horrified to discover that Hortense is no longer likely to enjoy climbling trees and running around. She's grown tall, wears skirts, and pins pictures of rock stars on her wall. Nana has deemed it "inappropriate" for them to share a room. All seems lost, until the two manage to find something to work towards together: a surprise birthday party for Nana. This charming picture book holds a valuable lesson about getting along by finding common ground.

Book Synopsis Helping Those Experiencing Loss by : Robert J. Grover Professor Emeritus
Download or read book Helping Those Experiencing Loss written by Robert J. Grover Professor Emeritus and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a guide for grieving youth and adults as well as extensive descriptive lists of recommended professional literature resources. Grief caused by loss is both a very common human experience and a highly individualized one. For example, children experience a number of losses that are unique to their young age—such as sibling and parent death, adoption, or divorce—and should be given special consideration by professionals and parents helping them in these situations. For gay, lesbian, or cohabiting heterosexual couples that suffer the loss of a partner, societal standards often deny the survivors in these relationships the right to grieve. Helping Those Experiencing Loss: A Guide to Grieving Resources is a book like no other, supplying compassionate information for navigating the emotional distress that every man and woman will experience in their lifetime, as well as a comprehensive guide to the literature of bereavement and grieving. It explains the grieving process, interpreting the results of research on the topic in plain language and addressing specific groups: children, young adults, parents who have lost a child, adults who have lost spouses, and the aging population.
Download or read book Nana's Wish written by Maureen Baggett and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-03-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight-year-old Odessa never expected to come face-to-face with her grandmother in an eight-year-old body! What happens when Odessa is wished back to 1955 by her Nana? It seems that Nana was tired of telling Odessa about the old times and wanted to show her instead. Odessa wakes up in a southern Maryland farmhouse without air conditioning, television, Internet, or telephone. She develops an understanding for both the fun and the work of living on a farm as she chats with the family about the things that surprise her. A day at school with Nana is very different from her own school in 2014. Instead of bright colors, group participation, computers, and modern conveniences, Odessa confronts racism, bullying, and a very different kind of classroom. She also learns that some things never change. People are people no matter when they live.

Download or read book Rulers of Literary Playgrounds written by Justyna Deszcz-Tryhubczak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rulers of Literary Playgrounds: Politics of Intergenerational Play in Children’s Literature offers multifaceted reflection on interdependences between children and adults as they engage in play in literary texts and in real life. This volume brings together international children’s literature scholars who each look at children’s texts as key vehicles of intergenerational play reflecting ideologies of childhood and as objects with which children and adults interact physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Each chapter applies a distinct theoretical approach to selected children’s texts, including individual and social play, constructive play, or play deprivation. This collection of essays constitutes a timely voice in the current discussion about the importance of children’s play and adults’ contribution to it vis-à-vis the increasing limitations of opportunities for children’s playful time in contemporary societies.
