Mommy, there's a new girl
We are all different in many ways and 'Mommy, there's a new girl' which is a children's picture book written by Danielle Webb and David Smith that shows and tells the story of Matilda, a little girl who has dwarfism. Matilda doesn't talk much and the other children make fun of her till one day someone makes the decision on how to make things better. Danielle Webb as the writer shows how one person can make a difference in another's life. Her story is written as a poem in my eyes with some of the rhymes in the various 'stanzas' of the story. David Smith has drawn pictures that will make your heart melt. This is a story of new friendships that form over all differences and find out that you may find something in common with each other. This woud make a good picture book to use in a Social living class.

A Collection of Short Stories and Poems
There is nothing like a perfect poem or short story that allows a person to truly enjoy reading. Gary E. Smith wrote this collection that he entitled 'A Collection of Short Stories and Poems'. This book is one that describes the writing life that some think of as romantic in a sense. The short stories and the novella that he writes that he titled 'Alexandra' describes the various relationships that writers may pursue by chance. The poems at the end of the collection were verbally picturesque as well as the photographs that the poems depicted. Gary E, Smith has written a book that is written by a poet and a writer that is one creative person who teaches through his writing and exhibiting his emotions through his work.

Let's bodysham others from now on because it's a help!!
n my opinion, bodyshaming is not a bad practice, but a straight up practice. It does not cause damage, but is a way to help obese people realize their condition, and be motivated to change. Appearance is not the only criterion to evaluate a person, but it is an important criterion, because it is related to a person's health, abilities, happiness and success. Many obese people have taken advantage of the idea that they are bodyshamed to justify their bad habits. They have created an excuse not to face the truth, not to take responsibility for themselves, and not to make the effort to improve. They have fallen into a vicious circle, and do not want to get out. They ruined their own lives, and blamed others. That is a wrong, dangerous and despicable attitude. If they really want to be respected, loved, encouraged, then they must start those things with themselves. They must face facts, overcome challenges, and take positive actions to lose weight, improve health, increase abilities, and achieve happiness and success. They must know that only they can help them, and only they can stop them. 😄

The Armed Forces and American Social Change and Unwritten Truce
Troy Mosley has written a very illuminating book entitled 'The Armed Forces and American Social Change An Unwanted Truce'. He has written a very illuminating piece of learning and history. It is a book that covers military history and society as part of a certain community of people. Troy has written a well-detailed reference book that teaches the readers how our country accepts various people and cultures throughout the years. This would make a good supplemental read for courses in Human services, History, and maybe even a counseling course.

Dark Obsessions A Kate Barnes Thriller
Who likes a mystery? Marie Sutro has written a murder mystery entitled 'Dark Obsessions' that is a Kate Barnes thriller. This mystery seems to carry on what the main character of Kate Barnes, who is a detective that needs to pull herself together from what happened on a previous case that has affected her in many ways. Kate also has some personal issues to work through and it seems that a trip to the Northwest United States could be the place where answers could be found in more ways than one.
