Author Carole Marsh has long been known as a trusted source for timely, factual, and tactful on-demand books on current events. "When 9/11 happened, teachers and parents looked to us for help in explaining the event to kids," says Michele Yother, president of publisher Gallopade International, Inc. "Now with the threat of a war with Iraq on everyones mind, our customers are once again turning to us for help."
WAR: WHAT KIDS SHOULD KNOW is a comprehensive source of age-appropriate answers to the questions kids have about war. It ranges in topics from close-to-home questions about the impact of war on kids lives to kid-level explanations of subjects in the news including Iraq, the United Nations, and nuclear weapons. The book also includes information on past wars, current "hot spots," military branches, and much more.
20 THINGS KIDS CAN DO IN TIMES OF WAR/20 THINGS KIDS CAN DO IN TIMES OF PEACE is filled with captivating activities connecting children to Americas servicemen and women, other children who have parents serving in the military, the president, and other government leaders and decision makers. The American Psychological Association suggests teachers and parents find "activities that will reinforce the message that one person can make a difference." This is a comprehensive resource of specific ideas to help children exchange anxiety for action.
IRAQ: A COUNTRY IN TURMOIL takes a detailed look at the country of Iraq and its history, culture, people, geography, natural resources, politics, and more. Filled with interesting facts, the book supports and reinforces this information with activities including maps, fill in the blanks, multiple choice, and definitions. It is an exceptional resource to help children separate their thoughts and feelings about the specific people who cause turmoil and the country and people of Iraq as a whole.
| | - believe children can be helped through these tough times with timely, accurate, sensitively-shared facts and honest exploration of their reactions and emotions," says the award-winning author. "Many adults are having difficulty with the idea of war themselves, but teachers and parents especially cannot ignore this subject. I believe these books are a great resource to help adults help kids, instead of ignoring childrens genuine curiosity and concern.
