You Are You, I Am Me: Understanding Diversity

J. S. Jackson

Children aren’t immune to stress. Kids are especially prone to feel fear before stressful events in their lives. Family, school, and team sports’ schedules have been crammed into their daily activities so extensively that many children are robbed of their free recreational “growth” time, and an alarming number of kids are experiencing high levels of stress because of this. All of these realities can lead to our children having the same kinds of fears and concerns we adults have, especially about things they often have no control over. In this invaluable book, author J.S. Jackson helps children explore attitudes and ideas to try and diminish some of the stress they feel in their lives.

Families blend together for a variety of reasons. Widowed or divorced parents choose to remarry. An ailing or elderly relative can no longer live alone and moves in with his son’s family. A family chooses to adopt a child. Economic circumstances force family members to combine households. Regardless of why it happens, creating a blended family is a process of transition that takes time, patience, humor, compassion, and a whole lot of conversation. In Growing Into a Family, author Cynthia Geisen guides children and the caring adults in their lives through the many questions and mixed feelings that blended families face. In the end, it is love, compassion, persistence, and a large dollop of humor that are really the tools that will help young readers find peace and joy in their family’s new realities.

Linus Mundy

When it comes to fairness, every kid knows that a parent can’t break a candy bar perfectly in half, for sharing. We grown-ups also know what it’s like not being treated fairly, and we know that much unfairness springs from such things as greed, or hatred, or anger, or prejudice, or misunderstanding, or even from the ways of Nature. But using these “big words” to explain unfairness to children will probably not work. And so, in this book, author Linus Mundy, offers words and examples that children will understand and relate to. Our children are ready to understand more about this big, wide world we live in. And they are ready to make it better for everyone, by making it more just, more fair.
