Book Description
Prepare Your Kids for their Futures! Conundrum Kids is an innovative new book that allows you to give your child a series of imaginative scenarios designed to keep kids safe and prepared in an ever-changing world. Kids have fun answering what they would do in a variety of situations and develop vital critical thinking skills along the way.This fun methodology allows parents to "pre-disaster" their children so that when something DOES arrive in the child's life, the child already knows how to handle the situation in advance. Conundrum Kids does such an amazing job of developing critical thinking skills in children, that after a child has answered hundreds of Conundrums over time, even if a situation arises that hasn't been addressed, the child has the thinking ability to be able to sort through the event and make an appropriate choice. This program has been tested in home and classroom settings, and is universally loved by children, parents, caregivers, and teachers alike. *** This book is a must-have for parents, grandparents, and caregivers of kids 5-12.

Book Description
One of the first-ever books on gender transition, this poignant memoir by a trans woman is “the best first-hand account ever written by a traveler across the boundaries of sex” (Newsweek). “A profoundly poetic story.” —The New York Times “An exquisite read.” —Maria Popova, The Marginalian The great travel writer Jan Morris was born James Morris. James Morris distinguished himself in the British military, became a successful and physically daring reporter, climbed mountains, crossed deserts, and established a reputation as a historian of the British empire. He was happily married, with several children. To all appearances, he was not only a man, but a man’s man. Except that appearances, as James Morris had known from early childhood, can be deeply misleading. James Morris had known all his conscious life that at heart he was a woman. Conundrum, one of the earliest books to discuss transsexuality with honesty and without prurience, tells the story of James Morris’ hidden life and how he decided to bring it into the open, as he resolved first on a hormone treatment and, second, on risky experimental surgery that would turn him into the woman that he truly was.

Book Description
Winner, 2019 William J. Goode Book Award, given by the Family Section of the American Sociological Association Finalist, 2019 C. Wright Mills Award, given by the Society for the Study of Social Problems Riveting stories of how affluent, white children learn about race American kids are living in a world of ongoing public debates about race, daily displays of racial injustice, and for some, an increased awareness surrounding diversity and inclusion. In this heated context, sociologist Margaret A. Hagerman zeroes in on affluent, white kids to observe how they make sense of privilege, unequal educational opportunities, and police violence. In fascinating detail, Hagerman considers the role that they and their families play in the reproduction of racism and racial inequality in America. White Kids, based on two years of research involving in-depth interviews with white kids and their families, is a clear-eyed and sometimes shocking account of how white kids learn about race. In doing so, this book explores questions such as, “How do white kids learn about race when they grow up in families that do not talk openly about race or acknowledge its impact?” and “What about children growing up in families with parents who consider themselves to be ‘anti-racist’?” Featuring the actual voices of young, affluent white kids and what they think about race, racism, inequality, and privilege, White Kids illuminates how white racial socialization is much more dynamic, complex, and varied than previously recognized. It is a process that stretches beyond white parents’ explicit conversations with their white children and includes not only the choices parents make about neighborhoods, schools, peer groups, extracurricular activities, and media, but also the choices made by the kids themselves. By interviewing kids who are growing up in different racial contexts—from racially segregated to meaningfully integrated and from politically progressive to conservative—this important book documents key differences in the outcomes of white racial socialization across families. And by observing families in their everyday lives, this book explores the extent to which white families, even those with anti-racist intentions, reproduce and reinforce the forms of inequality they say they reject.

What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die? If you want to know the answer, then keep reading. Did the riddle above give your brain a little tease? Have you felt that wonderful spark of curiosity that we adults have long forgotten? No matter how you see it, the effect of a good riddle is the same for the kids of all ages including the ones we adults keep hidden inside us.

For care-free small humans around us, it is way more enjoyable! Long ago, when we had family gatherings and my dad would go on to tell us different riddles I and my siblings would forget about everything in the world and give all of our attention to him for hours. After jazzing us up with easy-peasy wordplay so we can feel good in front of the adults, he would reveal just, that one puzzle, without giving any clues and we would have steams coming out of our ears to solve it. After what seems like an eternity of trying to find the answer you would see me washing the dishes, my siblings cleaning their rooms just so he would give us a lead. (I feel so dumb when I think about it now) And still, those are some of the sweetest memories of my childhood because of all the laughs and fun we used to have in the process. When I look back now, I am amazed at how my dad could entertain us using only some word puzzles. It was that simple, and the only problem was that there were just not enough riddles.
