When I was nine or ten years old I couldn't wait for Saturdays I got up early, dressed, and rolled my bicycle out of the garage. SO BEGINS AUTHOR Lester Laminack's poetic memory of the adult who made him feel incredibly special--his grandmother Every Saturday, the narrator, a young boy, rides his bicycle up and down country roads past farms, a graveyard, and a filling station, until he reaches his beloved Mammaw's house. She is waiting for him. While she picks tomatoes, he pushes the lawnmower through the dew-wet grass. Afterwards, he always helps her make teacakes from scratch, breaking the eggs and stirring the batter. But the best part, he remembers, is eating the hot, sweet cakes fresh from the oven. Children will understand the special relationship of the narrator and his grandmother. Set in a small town in the Leave It to Beaver days of the mid-sixties, the story evokes a gentler and more innocent time and place. Young readers will almost hear the sounds of bicycle wheels on gravel and the criiick-craaack-criiick of a metal glider in Laminack's richly detailed prose. Award-winning illustrator Chris Soentpiet's images beautifully capture the relationship and the place, perfectly depicting the simplicity of an earlier time. .

Scientific studies show that up to 90% of any message is communicated nonverbally, and that nonverbal skills relate directly to academic achievement and social success. Only 10% of the population is truly deficient in these skills; 80% of us have room for improvement. Fortunately, nonverbal communication can be both taught and learned, just like any other language. Clinical psychologists Nowicki and Duke have devoted their careers to this groundbreaking research. Now they have joined with educator Elisabeth Martin to create a valuable book which shows parents and teachers how to improve children's nonverbal communication skills, offering the tools children need to communicate ideas and establish and maintain relationships. Using case studies, exercises, and illustrations, the authors outline the six channels of nonverbal communication and show adults how to access a child's strengths and weaknesses. *Does she sense how close to stand to another person? *Does he understand the unspoken rules about touching people? *Does he know the types of appropriate posture for approaching a group? *Does she recognize variations in tone of voice, and the meaning they add to the verbal message? While not prescribing conformity, the authors offer readers the opportunity to help children acquire the skills which will lead to their future happiness. .
