Book Description
A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Featured in its own episode in the Netflix original show Bookmarks: Celebrating Black Voices! National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson and two-time Pura Belpré Illustrator Award winner Rafael López have teamed up to create a poignant, yet heartening book about finding courage to connect, even when you feel scared and alone. There will be times when you walk into a room and no one there is quite like you. There are many reasons to feel different. Maybe it's how you look or talk, or where you're from; maybe it's what you eat, or something just as random. It's not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet, but somehow you do it. Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical text and Rafael López's dazzling art reminds us that we all feel like outsiders sometimes-and how brave it is that we go forth anyway. And that sometimes, when we reach out and begin to share our stories, others will be happy to meet us halfway. (This book is also available in Spanish, as El Día En Que Descubres Quién Eres!)

Publisher: Rebel Futures
ISBN: 1739991214
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
"This isn’t just another weight loss book, it’s so much more" - Online Book Club "An easy-to-read book with a unique approach to weight loss." - Reedsy "This book will help you to harness the power of self-love, change your relationship with food and exercise, achieve your weight loss goals and fall in love with you. Yes, self-love can help you lose weight - it helped me lose over 85 pounds. I share my story to help others learn to love themselves more, overcome weight issues, and get the body they desire and deserve." WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR Diets not working for you? Not loving the gym? Feeling fed up with being overweight? This book is for anyone who wants to make a change in their lives. WHY DIETS ALONE DON’T WORK There’s a reason restrictive diets and strict exercise regimes don’t work. Technically, any regime will work if you can ‘stick at it’, but sticking at it is hard. Hey, even starting is hard, right? To make a big change we need to change our mindset first. THIS IS A REVOLUTIONARY NEW WEIGHTLOSS METHOD Instead of starting diets or exercise regimes and trying, or hoping for the best, it’s time for a new weightloss method. To do what’s necessary to shift the weight via any diet or exercise regime, first you have to fix your relationship with you. Love Yourself & Lose Weight offers a revolutionary and visionary approach to weightloss that’s not about the food you eat or the calories you burn, no, it’s simply all about you. If you don’t accept, like, and love yourself, you’re missing a key ingredient to any weightloss regime - you’re missing what you need to make the change. Without self-love, the chances are stacked against you and it’s more likely that whatever you try will fail. SELF LOVE IS THE KEY What if learning to absolutely love yourself could be the key? “With self-love on my side I lost over 85 pounds forever. I’m sharing my secrets of self-love to help you lose weight too. If I can do it, anyone can!” THIS IS A TRANSFORMATIONAL STORY This is the success story of self-love. Katie shares her personal, funny and inspirational story of how she found and harnessed self-love to achieve massive and permanent weight loss. At the age of 38, with a new born baby, Katie was fed up - literally! Years of telling herself she was fine, that the weight gain didn’t matter, that she didn’t matter - had taken their toll and she was over 85 pounds overweight. She didn’t want to wake up feeling disappointed anymore, she knew she needed a change and she knew diets had never worked. A year and a half later, having discovered the power of self-love, she had lost over 85 pounds, changed her shape, changed her outlook on pretty much everything. LEARN THE POWER OF SELF LOVE This book explains the psychology and power of self-love as a catalyst for weightloss. Instead of achieving self-love as a result of weightloss, Love Yourself & Lose Weight helps readers to achieve self-love today! Loving yourself today, whatever weight you are, will enable you to eat consciously, to move your body, and to delight in your weightloss journey, and to feel great about being you. THE BOOK CONTAINS ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO BUILD YOUR SELF LOVE Read how Katie transformed her life and then use the series of easy activities as you create your own self-love success story. Part 2 of the book is your story to write. Download free resources to print and use at home via the author's website. WHY WAIT? Love is powerful and with love on your side you can achieve anything. Learn to accept, like and love yourself today to achieve your wildest weightloss goals with ease. This book will help you: - Understand the power of self-love - Practise self-love and feel great - Change your relationship with food and exercise, enjoy mindful eating - Set and achieve your weightloss goals - Fall in love with you

Shared Languages, Shared Identities, Shared Stories
Author: Doris Schüpbach
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783631579473
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
This book explores how 15 immigrants from German-speaking Switzerland in Australia make sense of their migratory experience, of building a new life in a different language. It does so by examining their written and oral life stories. The analysis takes two complementary perspectives: Firstly, the construction of language identities is studied through the language practices and attitudes discussed and displayed by the participants. Secondly, the ways in which they create coherence in their life stories focuses on autobiographical identities where language is a medium of sense-making across their life course. The combined perspectives highlight the diversity among the participants and the complexities of language and identity construction in the context of migration.

Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Family storytelling offers many of the same advantages as book reading - and some new ones - for children's language and emotional development, coping skills, and sense of belonging. Tell Me a Story: Sharing Stories to Enrich Your Child's World shows parents how telling and sharing stories about family experiences can help children grow into healthy, happy adolescents and adults. Dr. Elaine Reese outlines the techniques that work best with children of all ages, from toddlers to teens, including children with learning delays and difficult temperaments. She also tackles challenging issues such as whether children profit at all from the stories that they experience through TV, movies, and video games; how storytelling differs from daughters to sons; and the best ways to continue to share family stories with children after a separation or divorce. Finally, Reese shares tips specially designed for storytelling with grandchildren, demonstrating how parents can and should continue to nurture family storytelling long after their children are grown, and especially once their children become parents themselves. Providing guidance on a positive, portable, and free way to enrich children's development, Tell Me a Story deserves a place in every parent's library.
