Everything's changing for Sarah Beth Willis. After Robin's tragic accident, everyone seems different somehow. Days on the farm aren't the same, and the simple fun of riding a bike or playing outside can be scary. And there's talk in town about the new sixth-grade teacher at Shady Creek. Word is spreading quickly--Mrs. Smyre is like no other teacher anyone has ever seen around these parts. She's the first African American teacher. It's 1969, and while black folks and white folks are cordial, having a black teacher at an all-white school is a strange new happening. For Sarah Beth, there are so many unanswered questions. What is all this talk about Freedom Riders and school integration? Why can't she and Ruby become best friends? And who says school isn't for anybody who wants to learn--or teach? In a world filled with uncertainty, one very special teacher shows her young students and the adults in their lives that change invites unexpected possibilities.

Therapy Supermarket Therapy Supermarket is a self-guided art therapy workbook for any person to use as an example of how we can create a resource manual for our own personal continual use—growing, interacting, changing, editing, and distilling. The reader can use this volume as a framework for his or her own art-astherapy, creating a new, self–designed, unique version to fit their own needs, and including anything creative, as long as it is not harmful in any way to anyone. The purpose of this book is to create an environment for peace, both inner and outer peace and happiness, beginning here with me, now. This creative joy and loving-kindness can evolve in the process with each successive expression in many varied forms, branching out to reach the direction of evolution with a positive intention, making room for more loving-kindness, compassion, and the root of happiness for all creatures. Everything we do and say is important, and matters eventually, and we, in our own unique version of creativity, can use this gift to change our direction toward peace, both inner and outer peace for every creature. I start here, with myself, and the rest follows. Jane McNeel Keller
