"Hannah the Honeybee Has a Dream" is the first picture book in the series "Hannah the Honeybee and Friends" about the life and adventures of Hannah and her best friend, Collette. Each book has a moral or life lesson within the story. This first book is about 'making a difference, ' with the aim to show my readers that we can all contribute to society in our own way. We don't have to be rich or famous or like anyone else to make a difference. It is more important to be ourselves.Writing about bees is intentional, with the aim of teaching my readers the importance of bees to our planet. The more research I did, the more I fell in love with these tiny, hardworking creatures I hope that the same love will develop in my young readers.Hannah, my main character, is always there if anyone needs a helping hand or an advocate. Her best friend, Collette, is never far from her side. Collette can be absent-minded, easily distracted, and oblivious to much of what goes on around her, but she is kind, loyal and friendly to everyone she meets which is why she is Hannah's closest friend. As worker bees, these two friends are busy from morning to night. They head out at first light to collect pollen and nectar. They build and protect the hive. Life couldn't be better. So what could have happened for Hannah to be so downcast today? Why would she want to eat on her own and head straight to bed? Collette certainly has no idea Thankfully, Hannah dreams again tonight and everything becomes clear to her. What a difference a day can make.

Meeting at the Crossroads

Meeting at the Crossroads

Lyn Mikel Brown; Carol Gilligan

Harvard University Press
2013
sidottu
On the way to womanhood, what does a girl give up? For five years, Lyn Mikel Brown and Carol Gilligan, asking this question, listened to one hundred girls who were negotiating the rough terrain of adolescence. This book invites us to listen, too, and to hear in these girls' voices what is rarely spoken, often ignored, and generally misunderstood: how the passage out of girlhood is a journey into silence, disconnection, and dissembling, a troubled crossing that our culture has plotted with dead ends and detours. In the course of their research, Brown and Gilligan developed a Listener's Guide - a method of following the pathways of girls' thoughts and feelings, of distinguishing what girls are saying by the way they say it. We witness the struggle girls undergo as they enter adolescence only to find that what they feel and think and know can no longer be said directly. We see them at a cultural impasse, and listen as they make the painful, necessary adjustments, outspokenness giving way to circumspection, self-knowledge to uncertainty, authority to compliance. These changes mark the edge of adolescence as a watershed in women's psychological development, a time of wrenching disjunctions between body and psyche, voice and desire, self and relationship. Brown and Gilligan open their method to us and share their discoveries as they encourage girls at different ages to speak about themselves in conversation with women. They follow some of these girls over time, listening to changes in their distinct voices from one year to the next, addressing their successes and failures as they confront one barrier after another. This groundbreaking work offers major new insights into girls' development and women's psychology. But perhaps more importantly, it provides women with the means of meeting girls at the critical crossroads of adolescence, of harkening to the voices of girlhood and sustaining their sell-affirming notes.

Raising Their Voices

Raising Their Voices

Lyn Mikel Brown

Harvard University Press
1999
nidottu
Two fourteen-year-old girls, fed up with the "Hooters" shirts worn by their male classmates, design their own rooster logo: "Cocks: Nothing to crow about." Seventeen-year-old April Schuldt, unmarried, pregnant, and cheated out of her election as homecoming queen by squeamish school administrators, disrupts a pep rally with a protest that engages the whole school.Where are spirited girls like these in the popular accounts of teenage girlhood, that supposed wasteland of depression, low self-esteem, and passive victimhood? This book, filled with the voices of teenage girls, corrects the misperceptions that have crept into our picture of female adolescence. Based on the author's yearlong conversation with white junior-high and middle-school girls--from the working poor and the middle class--Raising Their Voices allows us to hear how girls adopt some expectations about gender but strenuously resist others, how they use traditionally feminine means to maintain their independence, and how they recognize and resist pressures to ignore their own needs and wishes.With a psychologist's sensitivity and an anthropologist's attention to cultural variations, Lyn Brown makes provocative observations about individual differences in the girls' experiences and attitudes, and shows how their voices are shaped and constrained by class--with working-class girls more willing to be openly angry than their middle-class peers, and yet more likely to denigrate themselves and attribute their failures to personal weakness.A compelling and timely corrective to conventional wisdom, this book attunes our hearing to the true voices of teenage girls: determined, confused, amusing, touching, feisty, and clear.

The Glow Approach: Change Your Relationship with Food: Transform Your Life

Lyn Shroyer

nidottu
The glow approach was designed to help you gain insight into what triggers you to eat by exploring the 7 Elements of Transformation: Holistic Nutrition, Emotional Eating, Physiology, Diet Mentality, Modify Your Environment, Healing Body-Image Dissatisfaction and Sustainable Maintenance; and creating a personalized plan to help you achieve your goals and make lasting changes. The glow approach is about changing your relationship with food. It is not a diet that you go on or off of. It is about developing a healthy relationship with food, which means 1) putting food back in its place - as nutrition (nourishment for your body) and learning what foods "work for you" for health and weight-loss; and 2) identifying what role(s) food plays in your life. For most emotional eaters, food has become a coping mechanism - a way to manage feelings, avoid issues, or fill a void. You will learn to navigate the bridge between food and feelings, creating awareness and gaining insight into your emotional eating patterns. You will be empowered to choose other alternatives to manage those feelings, meet your needs, and find hope and healing with your food and weight issues. You will learn to appreciate the body you have. The glow approach will show you how to create balance in how you nourish your body and in your lifestyle, which will help you radiate your inner and outer glow.

Fugitive Families

Fugitive Families

Lyn Innes

JAMES CLARKE CO LTD
2025

Ellen Craft, disguising herself as a white slave-owner to escape with her husband, William. Mary and William Allen, the first legal interracial married couple in America, fleeing the country after threats of lynching. Francis Fedric, after 50 years of brutal treatment escaping through the Underground Railroad. Sarah Remond Parker, invited to Britain to lecture on abolitionism, and then qualifying as one of the first women doctors. These courageous men and women left the United States as the Fugitive Slave Act was passed and citizenship for black people denied, finding in Britain another country mired in a colonial history. Lyn Innes explores the lives of these extraordinary speakers, writers, and activists, as they challenged reductive narratives, campaigned against slavery, and built their own lives and families, interacting with movements for Women's Suffrage and Temperance, electoral politics, and Nationalist movements. Tracing varying influences, from Uncle Tom's Cabin to the Indian Rebellion of 1857, Innes examines British perceptions of race through how these speakers were perceived, understood, supported, received, and criticised. An insightful investigation of seven extraordinary lives, Fugitive Families is a fascinating portrait of social attitudes in the 1850-60s, a history that underpins modern British society.
