• What White Parents Should Know about Transracial Adoption–The Workbook: Practical Tools, Skills, and Prompts for Affirming Your Adopted Child’s Cultural Identity

    A companion to What White Parents Should Know about Transracial Adoption, this practical workbook guides readers to better understand transracial adoption and do the work of anti-racist, trauma-informed parenting.

    A must-read for white parents who have transracially adopted or prospective parents considering transracial adoption, this follow-up to What White Parents Should Know about Transracial Adoption offers a wealth of activities, templates, and questions for self-reflection. Melissa Guida-Richards, who learned at the age of 19 that she was adopted from Colombia as an infant, addresses the complexities of transracial adoption with insight, compassion, and the wisdom of lived experience. Through thought-provoking questions and activities, Guida-Richards guides you to:

    • Consider the role of infant-mother bonding and understand developmental trauma in adoptees
    • Understand the complex history of adoption; recognize illegal and unethical practices, such as trafficking operations and baby factories; and ask the important questions when working with adoption agencies
    • Look more deeply at implicit bias, white saviorism, and white fragility
    • Locate and utilize adoption-competent mental health care
    • Offer culturally aligned education, community, and resources to your child
    • Acknowledge the effects of racism and celebrate your child’s race and culture

    Throughout the workbook, Guida-Richards guides you to break free from toxic positivity, understand and drop defenses, engage in difficult conversations, and learn to listen to your child’s experience. Whether you are a potential parent considering a transracial adoption, a parent of an adopted child, or a therapist or advocate working with adoptive families, this practical and engaging workbook will help you “do the work” of furthering anti-racist, child-centered, and trauma-informed parenting.

  • Victorian Engineering (L.T.C. Rolt Collection)

    08
    L T C Rolt was an engineer and pioneer of industrial history; in this book he combined these two passions to give us a fascinating account of the men who ‘made’ Britain. From Brunel to Telford, he takes us on a journey from the first railway tracks being laid down to bridges spanning hitherto unimagined lengths, through to the ‘invention’ and mastery of the gas and electricity, which we take for granted today. The Victorians were at the forefront of modern technology in their time, but often came to see it as a blight on their landscape and struggled to adapt to the fast pace of this new industrial era. In this book, Rolt not only examines the creations that made Britain’s empire great, but also how the age of optimism turned to one of disillusionment with many of our inventors finding fame and fortune abroad. This unrivalled insight into our industrial heritage is compulsory reading for anyone wanting to appreciate the foundations on which our modern lives were built.

  • T. Veg: The Story of a Carrot-Crunching Dinosaur

    03
    A celebration of vegetarianism, author Smriti Prasadam-Halls and illustrator Katherina Manolessou’s picture book T. Veg: The Story of a Carrot-Crunching Dinosaur is a rollicking laugh-out-loud tale about being unapologetically yourself.

    Reginald’s a T. Rex just as fierce and ferocious as the rest: He’s got a mighty roar, gnashing teeth, and all the speed a dino could need. But when it comes to mealtime, Reg would rather chow down on broccoli, beans, and greens than the juicy steaks his paleo pals prefer.

    When Reginald realizes how different he is from the others, he hopes to find a place to fit in among the herbivores. He excitedly strikes out in search of a new herd, only to scare away the other dinosaurs as he charges to greet them. But when a falling boulder threatens the safety of Reg’s old T. Rex clan, he’ll show everyone what only a strong, vegetarian Tyrannosaurus rex can do.

    “Messages of acceptance of difference and healthy eating are intrinsic to character and story. Ingenious rhymes (with British pronunciations) make for a fun and funny read aloud . . . a rollicking tale of vegetarianism and individuality.” –Kirkus Reviews

  • The Silk Road: Central Asia, Afghanistan and Iran: A Travel Companion

    05
    Stretching from the ancient Chinese capital of Xian across the expanses of Central Asia to Rome, the Silk Road was, for 1,500 years, a vibrant network of arteries that carried the lifeblood of nations across the world. Along a multitude of routes everything was exchanged: exotic goods, art, knowledge, religion, philosophy, disease and war. From the East came silk, precious stones, tea, jade, paper, porcelain, spices and cotton; from the West, horses, weapons, wool and linen, aromatics, entertainers and exotic animals. From its earliest beginnings in the days of Alexander the Great and the Han dynasty, the Silk Road expanded and evolved, reaching its peak during the Tang dynasty and the Byzantine Empire and gradually withering away with the decline of the Mongol Empire.
    In this beautifully illustrated book, which covers the Central Asian section of the Silk Road – from Lake Issyk-kul through Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, the Kyzyl Kum Desert, Khiva and Merv to Herat, Kabul and Iran – Jonathan Tucker uses travellers’ anecdotes and a wealth of literary and historical sources to celebrate the cultural heritage of the countries that lie along the Silk Road and illuminate the lives of those who once travelled through the very heart of the world.

    The foundation for your child’s later development lies in the baby and toddler ages. But without professional help, this can be difficult in stressful everyday life. As parents, we know this all too well.

    This book offers the solution:

    You can help your child learn coordination, build a large vocabulary, and develop tremendous confidence through selected Montessori activities. Your child will benefit from this for the rest of their life!

    As the phase between the ages of 0 and 3 is incredibly important, this book starts right at birth. This allows you to sustainably aid your child’s development with creative Montessori activities.

    Your child will learn autonomously and from their own experiences.

    That way, your child’s autonomy, and confidence will grow immensely. They will then benefit from this independent way of learning at school and later in the work environment.

    The activities are structured according to Montessori and designed in a modern way. They aim to support your child in exploring the world full of joy and in a playful fashion while being protected from over stimulation, stress, and pressure. This prevents severe mood swings or feeling overwhelmed in the long term.

    This book also includes frequently asked questions (FAQs) from other parents and an introductory theoretical part. As parents, you will learn how to best support your child on their journey.

    An overview of your advantages:

    • Your child will learn coordination, language, shapes, colors, and much more through play with great Montessori activities and become independent and confident at an early age.
    • Specialization: The book is precisely adapted to babies and toddlers and can thus promote your child’s development in the most targeted way. This maximizes the numerous benefits in terms of independence, confidence, and sensory development.
    • The book trains all of your child’s senses, which promotes independence, and your child learns to explore the world more and more independently. You will be noticeably relieved by the increased independence your child will display daily.
    • In addition to the activities, the book contains a collection of important FAQs about Montessori, including: How can I prepare my surroundings before giving birth? Are Montessori toys expensive? How can I implement Montessori in my stressful everyday life?
    • Do you want to develop Montessori activities yourself? This book offers valuable suggestions: Which exercises are suitable for what age? Which materials should I choose? How can I present toys in an appealing and clear way?

    Click “Buy Now” in the top-right corner and support your child in playfully discovering the world and realizing its potential!

    Your child will thank you.

    Suitable for parents, parents-to-be, childminders, and nurseries.

  • Atlas of Amazing Architecture: The most incredible buildings you’ve (probably) never heard of

    01
    This fact-filled guide for kids 7 to 17 explores the world of architecture as you’ve never seen it before, from tiny shacks to vast palaces – and everything in between!

    Praise for Atlas of Amazing Architecture

    ”Given the global spread of coverage and the unusual buildings chosen, this is a must for children’s history, art, and architecture collections”.– Booklist Starred Review

    ”A delightful and informative trip around the globe”. — School Library Journal

    ”Peter Allen has written and illustrated a book that is stunning. I am sure there will be many, like me, who will revisit it time and time again and still find out something new and interesting”. — Just Imagine

    ”A vibrant, wonderful journey across the world and will open the eyes of young readers to the awe-inspiring architecture all around us”. — The BookActivist

    ”Both young and older readers will be drawn in, delighting in a wide-ranging exploration of fascinating buildings who are now getting a bit more exposure thanks to this fun and informative book”. — The AOI

    ”Bursting with fascinating detail, this book is ideal for any budding young architect”. — BookTrust

    ”A wonderful book to generate interest in the built environment”. — Goodreads

    This atlas of architectural wonders eschews the classic children’s book fare of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal, and instead takes a broader view of what constitutes amazing architecture. Buildings include: the Jameh mosque of Isfahan in Iran, Native American plank houses in New Mexico, Stave Churches in Norway, The Djinguereber Mosque in Mali, and extraordinary 18th century wooden churches on Kizhi Island, Russia.

    Over 50 buildings span all the continents equally throughout history. Each of these buildings is visually striking and architecturally noteworthy; they introduce new engineering technologies or define a movement or capture the essence of a moment in human history. However, despite their significance, they are, for the most part, not part of the main Western architectural canon.

    This book seeks out a more diverse, inclusive approach to what constitutes amazing architecture, and presents it with fresh illustration and clear, punchy text.

    Established illustrator Peter Allen, whose work has been published extensively by Usborne and Walker, brings the illustrations alive in his typical playful and dynamic style .

  • Based on a True Story: Not a Memoir

    08
    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – “Driving, wild and hilarious” (The Washington Post), here is the incredible “memoir” of the legendary actor, gambler, raconteur, and Saturday Night Live veteran.

    When Norm Macdonald, one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time, was approached to write a celebrity memoir, he flatly refused, calling the genre “one step below instruction manuals.” Norm then promptly took a two-year hiatus from stand-up comedy to live on a farm in northern Canada. When he emerged he had under his arm a manuscript, a genre-smashing book about comedy, tragedy, love, loss, war, and redemption. When asked if this was the celebrity memoir, Norm replied, “Call it anything you damn like.”

  • Mission Zero: The Independent Net Zero Review

    Mission Zero is a landmark independent report into the delivery of the UK’s commitment to net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Chaired by Chris Skidmore, the UK’s former Energy Minister who was responsible for signing net zero into law, its conclusions set out, for the very first time, a new economic narrative for climate policy, demonstrating the vast financial opportunity that net zero can deliver.
