What a beautiful, diverse world we inherited, a planet simply bursting with innumerable wonders to enchant and delight us. At the core, Beachcombers is a children's book about gratitude and the need to both contribute in practical ways to an environment we should protect and to imagine the fullness of our origins, so we can shape an equally bountiful future. The story names birds, fish, fauna and other animals as a way to weave a tapestry of specific creatures whose ecosystems need care, and the sounds and rhythms of their pronunciations when spoken aloud will entertain and mesmerize young readers. The children, and their dog, lead us and teach us: we should enjoy the mysterious and fanciful world all around us, but we should also act as caretakers for our environment. After we work and play, we are inspired to indulge our imaginations and learn to dream. After a full day, we rest in our dreams of the future.


"As seen through the eyes of adolescent children, Beachcombers is an enchanting story of responsibility and captures the impact humans have on our environment. Clementine and the young people teach us that we have the ability to change the world for the better--one piece of plastic, and one friendship, at a time." --Javier Rivera, GearUp advisor and educator

* Our book review *
Grief is such a hard thing to battle through at any age, so I can't imagine how difficult it must be for a child to comprehend, especially losing someone to suicide. This supportive book is beautifully illustrated and works as a gentle tool for carer and child to openly discuss the heartbreaking events and their feelings to each other as it follows the little boy's emotional journey after losing his dad to suicide.


The authors deal with this in a delicate way and the child describes their feelings similar to a storm and an ocean which other children will no doubt be able to understand. The authors also touch on depression, conflicting feelings during the child's stages of grief, counselling help, school, and eventually happy times. Without giving spoilers I loved how the little boy created ways to be closer to his dad.


Although we tend to shield our children from events such as this, sadly they do happen and I'm so pleased that using their professional experiences the authors have made this book available to those who need it or who wish to learn more.

* About the book *
The death of a parent is heartbreaking, but the issues surrounding suicide can be even more devastating. My Grief is Like the Ocean was written by mental health professionals who wanted to support caregivers during incredibly difficult conversations with children. Using the latest research and clinical guidance, and told from the perspective of a boy who lost his father to suicide, this book will help children to feel supported. When caregivers and children read this book together, they will gain a valuable resource for engaging in honest, informative and heartfelt discussions to help families heal.


This book will:

Help children and caregivers talk about their grief experiences
Normalize and encourage the many emotions a child may feel after a loss due to suicide
Promote important dialogue and concrete ways to seek help for mental illness
Provide caregivers with ideas for developmentally appropriate coping skills
Offer additional resources caregivers can access for further support


"This is the one book all parents and clinicians need to have in their personal library. Adults now have a tool to help children navigate the difficult emotions of abandonment, betrayal, rage, and anger that often bubble up after the suicide of a loved one, but are often suppressed and left unspoken." -- Athena A. Drewes, PsyD, RPT-S, founder and president emeritus, New York Association of Play Therapy, past director of the Association for Play Therapy


"My Grief is Like the Ocean tackles the seldom discussed, emotionally wrenching and very difficult concept of suicide in a way that children can understand...delicately using the metaphor of the ocean to describe how its shifting waves mirror the boy's feelings. The explanations are concise. The opportunity for a child to acknowledge their feelings is boundless." -- Laurie Zelinger, Ph.D., ABPP, RPT-S, board-certified psychologist, author of Please Explain Anxiety to Me


"This book is important and much needed, since the death of a parent by suicide is one of the most complicated and devastating forms of childhood grief. I found the book to be brilliant and written with the foundation of great sensitivity and compassion. I also loved the eloquent use of metaphors throughout. Highly recommended!" -- David A. Crenshaw, Ph.D., ABPP, author, board-certified clinical psychologist


"My Grief is Like the Ocean addresses the complex and conflicting feelings survivors have when they have lost a loved one to suicide. It is a must-have resource for all therapists that work with children and youth, as well as the surviving family members who may need direction regarding how to support their children as they experience this unique form of grief and loss." -- Theresa Fraser, CYC-P, CPT-S, MA, RP, RCT, CT, trauma, loss, and attachment clinical specialist


From Loving Healing Press

Don't miss these incredible deals from New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling romance author Melissa Foster.

This one is a must have for any young child, especially the way mental health is playing such a high role in the younger generation. On top of which, the characters are absolutely delightful, and the activities are really fun too.

The author explains mindfulness, staying in the present, and focusing on yourself, your feelings, and sensations, in small easy steps that a child can understand, and will want to learn more about. As well as the importance of being kind and caring towards yourself and others. My favourite section was filling in the sun rays and dancing like nobody is watching ;-)

I also found this to be a great conversation starter for parents and carers if they wanted it to be.

I would definitely recommend this for a fun, feel good factor book for a child that also benefits their thoughts and perspectives.

"This book has All. The. Feels." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Will leave you needing a cigarette and a cold, cold shower." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Swoon-worthy badass bikers who treat their ladies right." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"The chemistry is off the charts." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What do a cocky biker and a businesswoman who has sworn off dating bad boys have in common? According to Chloe Mallery, not much.

Justin came into the Wicked family after a harsh upbringing by a thieving father. He’s gone through a lot to become a true Wicked, and he’s made them proud. Now he’s ready to show the woman he loves exactly what type of man he is. But Chloe has worked hard to move past her difficult upbringing, and she’s wary of getting involved with a man who looks like he’s walked right out of it. When tragedy strikes, will their trying pasts draw them together, or will Justin’s protective nature be too much for Chloe’s independent heart to accept?

A nostalgic read that transports you back to festive times in 1937 with ease. Even though this quaint town is going through hard times it doesn't stop their Christmas spirit and the act of giving. I could almost smell the cinnamon in the air with Kathleen Shoop's continuous art of detail in her writing.

Jane was a lovely character to follow, ambitious, focused, and a loving person but on receipt of a letter her dreams of becoming a teacher stand in tatters and you can feel her sadness and desperation, along with her added worries that I won't spoil for you. But don't despair a Christmas miracle is there to enjoy!

A lovely short read that's bound to get you in the festive mood, with the added bonus of having my favorite historical family, the Arthurs, in the story, and if you haven't experienced them yet you definitely need to read The Letter Series.
