Trouble Talk
Maya's friend Bailey loves to talk about everything and everyone At first, Maya thinks Bailey is funny. But when Bailey's talk leads to harmful rumors and hurt feelings, Maya begins to think twice about their friendship In her fourth book for children, relational aggression expert Trudy Ludwig acquaints readers with the damaging consequences of "trouble talk"--talking to others about someone else's troubles in order to establish connection and gain attention. Includes additional resources for kids, parents, and teachers, as well as advice from Trudy about how to combat trouble talk. "Words do hurt, which is why this book is of paramount importance!"
--MARY A. BAIRD, President/CEO, The Ophelia Project "Trudy Ludwig gives educators and parents such wonderfully useful books and TROUBLE TALK is no exception. It teaches children social justice in ways that they can relate to and take with them into their classrooms and neighborhoods."
--ROSALIND WISEMAN, author of Queen Bees and Wannabees "Everyone knows a Big Mouth Bailey. In Trudy Ludwig's masterfully crafted story the bully is not vilified and the victims aren't vengeful, but clear boundary setters. We empathize with Big Mouth and want her to grow up to be just Bailey, an asset to our workplace, our families, and our communities."
--ANNETTE KLINEFELTER, author of Allies in Action, Building Healthy Relationships Between Girls.

Book Of Time
A statue; a coin; an old book. They look as dusty as everything else in the Faulkner Antiquarian Bookstore, where 14-year-old Sam Faulkner seeks his father, who's been missing for days. But when Sam slips the coin into the statue, he's swept back in time -- to Scotland in 800 A.D. -- where he must find both the statue and another coin in order to return to the present. It's the first step in an adventure that will take him to ancient Egypt, World War I, even Dracula's castle -- and a mystery that will end only when Sam saves his father, or loses him in time . . . .

It's Raining Cats-and Cats!
“The horrific overpopulation of cats is one of our country’s most tragic animal problems Let us hope that this charming book will help guide readers to the obvious solution, spay/neuter.”— Bob Barker, founder of The DJ&T Foundation and former host of The Price Is Right When Jim and his mom return home from the vet with Molly the cat after her surgery, Jim asks, “Why did we keep Molly from having kittens? I like kittens!” In this delightfully illustrated imagined journey into the future, Jim’s mom shows the many ways that Molly’s (and her kittens’) potential for multiplying would change their lives—and not for the better! It’s Raining Cats—and Cats! will appeal to kids and adults with its delightful, detailed art that encourages looking through the book many times. This is the first children’s picture book to show, vividly and humorously, the importance of neutering. Animal groups and vets will praise it, since spaying and neutering are at the top of their agenda, not only to keep animal populations in check, but to avoid killing millions of unwanted, homeless animals every year. Author Jeanne Prevost is an elementary school teacher who has also worked as a medical assistant for a veterinary hospital; trained puppies for Guiding Eyes for the Blind; and raised chickens, ducks, a goat, and numerous dogs. It’s Raining Cats—and Cats! is her first children’s book. Amelia Hansen is the illustrator of The Gryphon Press titles Are You Ready for Me? and At the Dog Park with Sam and Lucy, as well as nineteen other books exploring the connections between people, animals, and the earth. She lives near Kalamazoo, Michigan, with her husband, artist Paul Nehring, and their two cats, Rabbit and Albert. .
