A Book of Seasons

One little girl has a very special friend, the tall ancient tree in her backyard. Through the seasons, she grows along with the tree, playing in its branches and basking in its shade. She can swing and have a picnic, draw the tree and play hide and go seek. Through her time with her tree, the girl learns to appreciate the natural world as something to be savored and protected and acknowledges her place within it. The Growing Hearts series celebrates the milestones of a toddler's emotional development, from conquering fears and expressing feelings to welcoming a new sibling.

Strategies to Help Your Students Thrive

Today's teachers face a daunting challenge: how to ensure a positive school experience for their students, many of whom carry the burden of adverse childhood experiences, such as abuse, poverty, divorce, abandonment, and numerous other serious social issues. Spurred by her personal experience and extensive exploration of brain-based learning, author Marilee Sprenger explains how brain science--what we know about how the brain works--can be applied to social-emotional learning. Specifically, she addresses how to* Build strong, caring relationships with students to give them a sense of belonging.* Teach and model empathy, so students feel understood and can better understand others.* Awaken students' self-awareness, including the ability to name their own emotions, have accurate self-perceptions, and display self-confidence and self-efficacy.* Help students manage their behavior through impulse control, stress management, and other positive skills.* Improve students' social awareness and interaction with others.* Teach students how to handle relationships, including with people whose backgrounds differ from their own.* Guide students in making responsible decisions.Offering clear, easy-to-understand explanations of brain activity and dozens of specific strategies for all grade levels, Social-Emotional Learning and the Brain is an essential guide to creating supportive classroom environments and improving outcomes for all our students.

Lo Que Queríamos Ser y No Fuimos

Todos tenemos una manera distinta de enfrentar nuestras perdidas y aprender de ellas, considero que es el paso final para continuar en este viaje por la vida. Este libro, que lo escribí de la manera más sincera que pienso que soy, pretende ayudar a encontrar a todos aquellos que se sienten perdidos y no saben qué hacer. No es un libro de autoayuda, es una pieza que tomará las manos de cada uno y les mostrará el camino de la soledad y lo increíble que se siente descubrirnos.Muchos le tienen miedo al vacío y a la oscuridad, yo también lo tuve, pero aprendí a lidiar con mis demonios y el más grande de todos; el pasado, estuvo siempre conmigo, a mi lado, mostrándome todo lo que un día viví y sentí. Desde la añoranza y la rabia, el resentimiento y no sentirme capaz de luchar por lo que un día amé con fuerzas, decidí una noche comenzar a escribir, desde ahí; sentía como me iba sumergiendo hacia lo profundo del universo y lo bien que me sentía, y como mis letras se transformaban en una lluvia tranquila para los transeúntes que venía a visitar mi Estación Vespertine. ¿Cómo enfrentas tú el amor y la muerte al mismo tiempo? Toda perdida duele, porque estamos conectados con cada fibra que yace y nos rodea, perder es un sentimiento que nos sacude y nos despierta de ese sueño que creemos real mientras estamos dormidos."Mi viaje sin ti", es un libro que desnudará cada ser que decida adentrarse dentro de él, le hablará en cada página, los pondrá a volar, a nadar, a viajar por lugares raros y mágicos del sentimiento de cada persona. Pero lo más importante es que les gritará que ¡LOS PARA SIEMPRE AQUÍ NO EXISTEN! y cada final de una historia es necesaria para poder transcender.Alejandro Sequera.

Ned Vizzini

Like many ambitious New York City teenagers, Craig Gilner sees entry into Manhattan’s Executive Pre-Professional High School as the ticket to his future. Determined to succeed at life—which means getting into the right high school to get into the right college to get the right job—Craig studies night and day to ace the entrance exam, and does. That’s when things start to get crazy. At his new school, Craig realizes that he isn't brilliant compared to the other kids; he’s just average, and maybe not even that. He soon sees his once-perfect future crumbling away. The stress becomes unbearable and Craig stops eating and sleeping—until, one night, he nearly kills himself. Craig’s suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital, where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected President Armelio. There, isolated from the crushing pressures of school and friends, Craig is finally able to confront the sources of his anxiety. Ned Vizzini, who himself spent time in a psychiatric hospital, has created a remarkably moving tale about the sometimes unexpected road to happiness. For a novel about depression, it’s definitely a funny story.
