Join author, Lynne Bouchard, on her inspiring journey of self-discovery, which began at the age of eight, when her parents were killed in a car accident. The once, carefree, imaginative child, who believed she could fly, suddenly became the girl who was Strong and Brave--two labels which became the foundation upon which she built the rest of her life. Upon realizing that she had continued to add self-limiting declarations to define her existence, the author finally began to peel off the useless labels, sweep up the shattered pieces of her life, and build what she refers to as her "stained-glass window." Interspersed with shining bits of poetry, enlightening insights and flashes of humor, Through the Stained Glass Window will leave you cheering the resiliency of the human spirit.
While others are busy trying to find themselves, Lynne Bouchard is happily losing herself. This is what she refers to as letting go of ego, and learning to trust her inner guidance and the wisdom of her higher self. Losing Myself and Other Miracles is a collection of short stories, insights, and poetry that allow you to tag along on her journey of freedom from ego, worry, and self-doubt.
Guides teachers through a variety of projects, samples, and classroom anecdotes that demonstrate how teachers can help students become more effective writers of good nonfiction.
Drawing on scholarly research findings, this book presents a cogent case that librarians can use to work towards prioritization of reading in libraries and in schools. Reading is more important than it has ever been—recent research on reading, such as PEW reports and Scholastic's "Kids and Family Reading Report," proves that fact. This new edition of Reading Matters provides powerful evidence that can be used to justify the establishment, maintenance, and growth of pleasure reading collections, both fiction and nonfiction, and of readers' advisory services. The authors assert that reading should be woven into the majority of library activities: reference, collection building, provision of leisure materials, readers' advisory services, storytelling and story time programs, adult literacy programs, and more. This edition also addresses emergent areas of interest, such as e-reading, e-writing, and e-publishing; multiple literacies; visual texts; the ascendancy of young adult fiction; and fan fiction. A new chapter addresses special communities of YA readers. The book will help library administrators and personnel convey the importance of reading to grant-funding agencies, stakeholders, and the public at large. LIS faculty who wish to establish and maintain courses in readers' advisory will find it of particular interest.
