"Kids on the Path" was designed to guide school personnel on how to plan, build, and maintain a labyrinth at their school site. It was first published in 2007. It stresses the importance of total buy-in from: teachers, staff, parents and especially the students. The book provides labyrinth-themed lessons for the classroom in all subject areas: math, science, art, music, health and wellness, affective/social domains, language arts, art, social studies. The book has been sold across North and South America, Europe, Australia and Africa. Perhaps the popularity of labyrinths in schools today is a result of the frantic pace of our society. Children feel pressured to succeed academically, to excel at sports, to be popular, to participate in a multitude of after-school activities and to please their parents and teachers. The labyrinth is a tool that allows calming of the mind, body, and spirit - for children, teachers, and school personnel. Enjoy walking the path of this book in creating your labyrinth.

Hi mama (or dad!). I've been where you are. The darkness, the unknowns, the fear, the uncertainty -- everything that accompanies a hearing loss diagnosis. You may feel all of these things at once. You may ebb and flow between them. Or you may not know what you feel at all. And that is okay. When you are told your child has significant hearing loss, there is no right reaction. Tears may flow, or they may refuse to come. Anger may boil over, or it may fester. Grief can pave the way, or it can be pushed aside. We all process serious, life-altering news differently. My own family received that news on October 18, 2019. In some ways, it feels like a lifetime ago. In others, the pain and emotions are still fresh. Time is funny that way. My goal in sharing my son Cooper's story -- our story, really -- is to show you that you are truly never alone. This journey to Holland (hang in there, I'll get to the relevancy of this) can feel like a lonely one at the beginning. But when you find acceptance, when you open your heart, there is so much beauty to be found along the way.

Mysteries, mazes, and magic combine in this smart, funny summer-camp fantasy -- like THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY for kids! Dahlia Sherman loves magic, and Math Club, and Guitar Hero. She isn't so fond of nature walks, and Hebrew campfire songs, and mean girls her own age.All of which makes a week at summer camp pretty much the worst idea ever. But within minutes of arriving at camp, Dahlia realizes that it might not be as bad as she'd feared. First she sees two little girls walk right through the walls of her cabin. Then come the dreams -- frighteningly detailed visions of a young man being pursued through 1930s New York City. How are the dreams and the girls related? Why is Dahlia the only one who can see any of them? And what's up with the overgrown, strangely shaped hedge maze that none of the campers are allowed to touch? Dahlia's increasingly dangerous quest for answers will lead her right to the center of the maze -- but it will take all her courage, smarts, and sleight-of-hand skills to get her back out again.
