Hardback. Condition: Good. When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. This ancient proverb of the Kikuyu people, a tribal group in Kenya, Africa, is as true today as when the words were first spoken, perhaps thousands of years ago. Its essence is simplicity--when the large fight, it is the small who suffer most. And when it comes to war, the smallest, the most vulnerable, are the children. When Elephants Fight presents the stories of five children--Annu, Jimmy, Nadja, Farooq and Toma--from five very different and distinct conflicts--Sri Lanka, Uganda, Sarajevo, Afghanistan and the Sudan. Along with these very personal accounts, the book also offers brief analyses of the history and geopolitical issues that are the canvas on which these conflicts are cast. When Elephants Fight is about increasing awareness. For the future to be better than the past, better than the present, we must help equip our children with an awareness and understanding of the world around them and their ability to bring about change. Gandhi stated, If you are going to change the world, start with the children.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. ChickenfeedAs part of World Book Day 2006, Minette Walters took part in the Quick Reads initiative, designed to encourage developing readers and adult learners as they explore the exciting world of books. Chickenfeed, Walter's contribution, is a crackling tale based on the true story of the 'chicken farm murder' that took place in Blackness Road, Crowborough, East Sussex in December, 1924. Although Norman Thorne never confessed to killing his girlfriend Elsie, he was tried and hanged for the crime. Minette's fictionalised account of their relationship is told from the points of view of both Elsie and Norman, from the time of their first meeting at chapel when Norman is 18 and Elsie is 22, until the eve of Norman's trial for her murder just over four years later. In the real-life case, an exchange of letters between the lovers, in which Elsie told Norman that she was pregnant, formed part of the evidence that suggested Norman's motive for murder. When the lovers grow apart, Elsie creates a fantasy to replace the reality of their fractured relationship. Meanwhile Norman has fallen for another woman yet cannot bring himself to tell Elsie that he no longer wants to marry her. Burrowing deep into an English legend, Walters creates a suspenseful tale of fiction based in fact, leaving it to the reader decide whether Norman was guilty of the heinous crime. The Tinder BoxIn the small village of Sowerbridge, Patrick O'Riordan has been arrested for the brutal murder of elderly Lavinia Fanshaw and her live-in nurse, Dorothy Jenkins.

Jeopardizing her own position within the bigoted community, Siobhan stands firmly by his family in defense of the O'Riordan name. Yet when terrible secrets about the O'Riordans' past are revealed, Siobhan is forced to question her loyalties. Could Patrick be capable of murder after all? Could his family's tales of attacks be devious fabrications? And if so, what other lies lurk beneath the surface of their world? As the truth unravels, it becomes clear that beneath a cunning facade, someone's chilling ambition is about to ignite.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Dear Black Girl seeks to encourage young girls to embrace and be proud of their different skin tones, black features and other physical differences such as disabilities and disorders. We wish to normalize differences in physical appearance and bodily features while teaching our young girls be true to themselves and others. We want to teach our children that there is beauty in uniqueness and that everybody cannot have one specific type of look and that is the factor that makes them who they are, that make them beautiful in their own way. Not only are our kids being bullied but we should also consider that they are sometimes the bullies, sometimes they are the ones who are insensitive. It could be something simply such as staring too long at someone who is physically challenged or just simply looks different than what they are accustomed to. It can be a bit harsher if they exclude a child or get excluded themselves because they are perceived as 'different'. These conditions lead to self-hatred given that no one has control over their skin color, features or physical appearance. Hence, if a child is born with dark skin and learns that dark skin is not valued by her peers, community or society generally, the youth may develop feelings of shame. This is especially true if the child is unaware of colorism's historical roots and lacks friends and family members who shun skin color bias. Without an understanding of racism and classism, it's difficult for a child to understand that no one's skin color is innately good or bad. We want to build up our girls so no one else can tear them down.Children are the world's most innocent and pure human beings, they are like uncut diamonds; their beauty has not been shaped in any particular form by the world, well at least upon till they have been exposed and has undergone polishing from society to shape them into what they think is fitting. A quote by Haim Ginot, child psychologist says that Children are like wet cement whatever falls on them makes an impression. This is their way to try and make sense of the wider world and they try to fit in by being some of the best imitator. Sadly, a lot of what they imitate is problems the world is yet to find solutions such as prejudices and discrimination specifically in the form of colorism and stigma towards their developmentally challenged peers. It is said that it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken ones and as such we want to culture our children right from the start, we want them to grow up confident with all the ambition in the world to know that they can amount to just about anything that they want to and no dream is too high. We aim to do this through Dear Black Girl. Have a read, it is the best investment you'll make, an investment in your child.…
