Sheila Says We’re Weird
"Sheila can’t figure out why her neighbors hang their laundry outside instead of using a dryer. And why do they ride their bikes to the library instead of just using the car? Why do they mow their lawn with a push mower when a gas mower is much faster? But their homemade soup sure tastes good, and she likes picking cherry tomatoes and strawberries in their garden, and it’s pretty cozy to sit around the woodstove in the winter. Are Sheila’s neighbors really weird, or do they have some good ideas going on? Ruth Ann Smalley writes about green living, fair trade, and health for children and adults. Jennifer Emery has illustrated numerous children’s books." -- publlisher
What Does It Mean to Be Safe?
"The world can be a scary place for kids; that’s why it’s important to empower them with the knowledge of how to be safe! Conversations about safety with children used to focus on looking both ways before crossing the street and watching out for "stranger danger." But in today's world, there are a number of ways that children need to be aware and selective about their personal safety. From using the Internet to standing up to bullies and knowing when is the right time to get a caring adult's help, this addition to the award-winning What Does It Mean to Be...? series is the perfect book to educate and foster dialogue between children and adults." -- publisher
