Grandpa Seashells by Jo Johnson Pdf

'Grandpa Sea Shells' tells the story of three young children who spend a day with their grandparents after their grandfather has been diagnosed with dementia. The book is intended to support conversation at the time of first changes in a relative, a diagnosis of dementia and mild to moderate progression. Families and clinicians have told us this is the time period when they need material to support their explanations to children. Whilst the book could be used to start a conversation about any form of dementia, most of the key symptoms described in this story reflect the typical features associated with the Alzheimer's type, as this continues to be the most common. This book has been designed so that children of between four and ten can read it independently. Ideally it should be used with an adult to facilitate discussion about all aspects of family life and to enhance general emotional wellbeing. The book deliberately makes dementia one of many things going on for this family and highlights things that families can still enjoy together. We have included ideas for positive activities at the end of the book as well as puzzle and description pages that children can enjoy doing with a family member, teacher or clinician.

Fourteen by Totus Wright Pdf

I had always heard of our family curse. I didnt believe in such a thing, of course, but the previous generation had been highly influenced by it. The curse was this: our family would be extremely healthy for yearsno sudden deaths, tragedies, or health troubles. But then, quite unexpectedly, someone would die, and this first death would herald a series of others. At times laugh-out-loud and funny and at times heartbreaking, Fourteen: The Other Side of Someone Story is the story of a young man struggling with grief, addiction, and online harassment. It is a journey through drug use and depression, an unsentimental portrait of a family placed under immense pressure, and a window to our modern world in which social media has so quickly changed all the rules. Hilarious, terrible, and beautiful by turns, Fourteen: The Other Side of Someone Story is an autobiography of a different kind, capturing the fears and dilemmas of a generation more connected than ever before but also more vulnerable for the very same reasons. From the surfing breaks of Bali to sleeping under bridges in London, the story deals unflinchingly with death, trolling, loneliness, and the difficulties of finding love in our online age.

The Perfect Score by Rob Buyea Pdf

From the beloved author of Because of Mr. Terupt and its sequels comes The Perfect Score, a new middle-grade school story with a very special cast of unforgettable characters who discover that getting the perfect score—both on the test and in life—is perhaps not so perfect after all. No one likes or wants to take the statewide assessment tests. Not the students in Mrs. Woods’s sixth-grade class. Not even Mrs. Woods. It’s not as if the kids don’t already have things to worry about. . . . Under pressure to be the top gymnast her mother expects her to be, RANDI starts to wonder what her destiny truly holds. Football-crazy GAVIN has always struggled with reading and feels as dumb as his high school–dropout father. TREVOR acts tough and mean, but as much as he hates school, he hates being home even more. SCOTT’s got a big brain and an even bigger heart, especially when it comes to his grandfather, but his good intentions always backfire in spectacular ways. NATALIE, know-it-all and aspiring lawyer, loves to follow the rules—only this year, she’s about to break them all. The whole school is in a frenzy with test time approaching—kids, teachers, the administration. Everyone is anxious. When one of the kids has a big idea for acing the tests, they’re all in. But things get ugly before they get better, and in the end, the real meaning of the perfect score surprises them all.

My Grandpa's Garden by Issak Esmail Issak Pdf

A presentation of a collection of poems, coupled with artistic photographs, produced by a brilliant Zanzibar-born artist, photographer, author and theatrical producer, Issak Esmail Issak. What started as individual Friday greetings to close friends and family, later became a treasure trove that had to be shared widely—hence this selected collection. Each photograph is a subtle, yet very eloquent, portrayal of the intricate cosmopolitan life in Zanzibar. Although each individual photograph already speaks volumes, the poem, alongside each, serves as a colorful embellishment. It is hoped that the reader will take the time to scrutinize each entry to try to read, understand and savor the creative genius of the author; for there is little doubt that this man of many talents is an indefatigable creator of not only admirable photographs and author of beautiful poetry, but also a brilliant producer of theatrical plays. Worth mentioning here are two other projects on which he is currently working. One is a book detailing the histories of Kutch and Zanzibar, and the Kumbhaar (or the potter-community) immigration to rural Zanzibar; and the other is the production of plays for the ‘FaAna’ Theatre. Not only does he produce the plays, he selects and trains the young Zanzibari actors, and even directs the film productions himself.

Senda and the Whispering Sea Shells by H. de Mendoza Pdf

Synopsis: Senda and the Whispering Sea Shells “Don’t talk to strangers,” Senda says to herself as she walks the streets of Santa Cruz, California, otherwise known as Weird City – a good name for the place where she was born. After all, she, with her illness, is among the weirdest. What Senda never imagined was that she would find her life turned upside down, where she becomes the main character in an unbelievable adventure in an apocalyptic world. Here, Senda will have to face her greatest fears. The night it all started, as she walked aimlessly down the strangest ocean-side walkway in California, began when a homeless man gave her a sea shell. A sudden earthquake (if they aren’t all sudden, this one surely was), and Senda found herself splashing helplessly in the waves. Everything that followed seemed like a dream, with spirit animals, Native American Ohlones, the fall of civilization, and the inexplicable senility of the adults. This tale of frightening adventures runs from the escarpments of the Pacific Ocean to the grand and mystical Redwood Forests of California. What if humanity’s destiny really was in your hands? What would you do? What would you be willing to sacrifice to save people that never showed any interest in you or your problems? Follow along with Senda in her journey and discover the talking sea shells, find what causes the strange behavior of the adults, hear about the incredible history of the Ohlone children, travel back to the pirates and conquistadors of the Old World, uncover the identity of those mysterious men hidden behind space-men-like masks, and especially, be part of the most advanced scientific breakthrough that neither Jules Vern nor Elon Musk could have predicted. Now translated from the original Spanish by ecologist and conservationist James J. Roper, Ph.D. (who also enjoys good adventure), this second novel by H. de Mendoza is a magical story of preadolescent friendship and adve
