Its So Amazing

“An outstanding book. . . . Meets the needs of those in-between or curious kids who are not ready, developmentally or emotionally, for It’s Perfectly Normal.” —Booklist (starred review) How does a baby begin? What makes a baby male or female? How is a baby born? Children have plenty of questions about reproduction and babies—and about sex and sexuality, too. It’s So Amazing! provides the answers—with fun, accurate, comic-book-style artwork and a clear, lively text that reflects the interests of children age seven and up in how things work, while giving them a healthy understanding of their bodies. Created by the author and illustrator of It’s Perfectly Normal, this forthright and funny book has been newly updated for its fifteenth anniversary.

Bold illustrations and straight-forward text provide beginning readers with an informative and factual guide about the birth process, the human body, families, and more.

From the expert team behind IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL and IT'S SO AMAZING! comes a book for younger children about their bodies — a resource that parents, teachers, librarians, health care providers, and clergy can use with ease and confidence. Young children are curious about almost everything, especially their bodies. And young children are not afraid to ask questions. What makes me a girl? What makes me a boy? Why are some parts of girls' and boys' bodies the same and why are some parts different? How was I made? Where do babies come from? Is it true that a stork brings babies to mommies and daddies? IT'S NOT THE STORK! helps answer these endless and perfectly normal questions that preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary school children ask about how they began. Through lively, comfortable language and sensitive, engaging artwork, Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley address readers in a reassuring way, mindful of a child's healthy desire for straightforward information. Two irresistible cartoon characters, a curious bird and a squeamish bee, provide comic relief and give voice to the full range of emotions and reactions children may experience while learning about their amazing bodies. Vetted and approved by science, health, and child development experts, the information is up-to-date, age-appropriate, and scientifically accurate, and always aimed at helping kids feel proud, knowledgeable, and comfortable about their own bodies, about how they were born, and about the family they are part of.

My Overdue Book: Too many stories not to tell: spells out the varied episodes in the life of a man who spent decades working in Hollywood. He began as a little boy in Cincinnati impressed early on by the broadcasting magic of radio and then TV in the middle of twentieth century America. His drive to get into broadcasting culminates in an early success that gets interrupted by an unexpected sidebar in The US Army and a subsequent tour as an Infantryman in Vietnam in the late 1960's. His yearlong excursion in "Fun City East," with its repeated life and death experiences, had lifelong effects on this soldier-of-media. Following his wanderings through the jungles of Vietnam, Bright's interactions with many of America's top public figures throughout his decades in radio and television come to life with intriguing stories that are personal, professional, positive and negative. It's life without a filter! Readers across generations will share and co-experience numerous real life feelings and emotions with writer Bright as his winding trail of life opens in front of them. book endorsement for peter bright; i always thought that peter bright and i had many things in common; we both grew up in ohio, we both had careers in the live event and variety side of television, and the few times we had times to talk i thought we shared a mutual philosophy toward the ups and downs of life. but it wasn't until i read his "overdue" book that i realized just what a rich and storied life peter has had and how much more deeply he had experienced the highs and lows, particularly during his years in the military, than i ever could have imagined. it really amazes me just how little we know about people we think we know, and just how much more we appreciate who they are when we are fortunate enough to have that background filled in by someone as articulate and able to express both facts and feelings as peter has in this book. when i started to read it, i thought all of those common events that we shared would be an interesting parallel track to my life and as such i would have a great frame of reference, but as i read on, i realized just what an amazing story peter has to tell and just how well he tells it. ken ehrlich, executive producer, the grammy awards

Tired of fighting for one that doesn't seem worth living any more, she knows it's time to make a decision. A stop for coffee is the last place she expects for that choice to be forced on her. But when the bullets start flying will she choose death-finally crossing over the threshold she's been hovering at for two seemingly endless years, or will she choose the hope she sees in a tall, beautiful stranger's eyes? Nikolas Jensen didn't know grabbing a coffee before work would turn his world upside down. He didn't plan on making any life-altering decisions when he walked through those doors either. But that's exactly what he has to do. When death is staring you down from the barrel of a gun, do you save yourself, or a woman you just met? Their paths now stitched together by one traumatic morning, Nik and Ellie must pick up the broken pieces. Can they do it together or will Ellie's demons be too much for them both?

Cally was like any other teenage girl; she was smart, funny, caring, and beautiful. She loved going shopping with her mother, Kate, as well as beating her dad, Bill, at a game of basketball. Sure, she had her fair share of problems, like peer pressure and the occasional arguments with her parents--which usually led to being grounded. However, none of this could ever prepare her for the ultimate problem, an abusive boyfriend. Cally had been with her boyfriend, Ryan, for exactly one year. Nine months of that year was absolutely wonderful. They did everything together and were very much in love. However, the last three months were a pure and living hell for Cally. Ryan had started drinking very heavily and had become mentally and physically abusive. The abuse was terrible for Cally; in only three months Ryan had busted her lip and had put bruises all over Cally's body. The abuse was getting worse by the day and Cally knew that she had to end the relationship soon. Cally still cared for Ryan, despite his cruel and abusive ways, but she knew that he was not going to change; he was too far gone. Cally had planned to break up with him on prom night, but as a fatal turn of events unfolds, Cally discovers that it's not so easy to escape from Ryan's grip.
