All families change over time. Sometimes a baby is born, or a grown-up gets married. And sometimes a child gets a new foster parent or a new adopted mom or dad. Children need to know that when this happens, it’s not their fault. They need to understand that they can remember and value their birth family and love their new family, too. Straightforward words and full-color illustrations offer hope and support for children facing or experiencing change. Includes resources and information for birth parents, foster parents, social workers, counselors, and teachers.

Over several generations villagers of Dominica have been shifting from Patwa, an Afro-French creole, to English, the official language. Despite government efforts at Patwa revitalization and cultural heritage tourism, rural caregivers and teachers prohibit children from speaking Patwa in their presence. Drawing on detailed ethnographic fieldwork and analysis of video-recorded social interaction in naturalistic home, school, village and urban settings, the study explores this paradox and examines the role of children and their social worlds. It offers much-needed insights into the study of language socialization, language shift and Caribbean children’s agency and social lives, contributing to the burgeoning interdisciplinary study of children’s cultures. Further, it demonstrates the critical role played by children in the transmission and transformation of linguistic practices, which ultimately may determine the fate of a language.

This challenging, hard-hitting book is about making schooling relevant to modern society. It starts from the premise that our present education system is ill equipped to serve students and society in the twenty-first century. In a series of positive yet powerful and provocative chapters, the authors look at critical issues shaping schools today, with a view to: * set out the critical issues behind the headlines * show evidence from research and examples of good practice * stimulate public debate and rigorous thinking about how we educate children for life in the twenty-first century * provide practical examples of learning for the future * present a vision for school transformation. With contributions from a range of leading commentators including Tim Brighouse, Jonathan Poritt, Anita Roddick, Charles Handy and Jonathan Sacks, this is a must-read for school leaders, teachers, policy-makers, parents and all education professionals.

"Save the World. Start with the Children", is a book detailing the life of Father William Wasson, his philosophy, and how he changed the world. Father Wasson's legacy includes nine homes for abandoned and vulnerable children in Latin America and the Caribbean as well as the only free pediatric hospital in Haiti. This book includes words from Father Wasson himself, his four principles of successfully raising compassionate children, and stories about those who were directly impacted by his unconditional love and support. In 1953, Father Wasson was assigned to a church in Cuernavaca, Mexico called "The Church of the Poor". One night, the church was robbed by a 15-year-old boy who was simply trying to feed himself. Unwilling to press charges, Father Wasson went to the judge on the boy's behalf and requested custody of the child. The boy became the first of over 18,000 children that would be raised in the nine homes of Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH). NPH homes take in vulnerable children with no family or have families unable to care for them, and provide a safe home with food, love, healthcare and support, along with a quality education. Each of the nine homes works to ensure the happiness and wellbeing of every child that walks through the door. Children are raised with their NPH brothers and sisters, not put up for adoption and are encouraged to gain a solid education and use their talents to become leaders in their own countries. The book was a collaboration of people who work with NPH and those who knew Father Wasson. His philosophies for raising his NPH family were documented in 1976 and the book showcases the way these principles affected the NPH children through stories of their ongoing success. ALL proceeds of this book go directly to NPH USA.
