I really liked how this was a story within a story. The story was very simple making it easy to read and understand the theme of everyone being different. For me, the best part of this story was how it directly invited the reader to think about what they would bring in this situation. This is, apparently, an ‘anti-memoir’. Perhaps because it is recalled in impossibly sharp detail - surely there is fiction here between the memories. Perhaps because the life it describes is mundane and troubled - we are used to memoir coming from the ‘great and good’. Perhaps because Galloway is hinting at a narrative here that she did not grasp as a child. Chrissy's parents divorced when she was young and her mother worked multiple jobs to support her children. They lived in a trailer park for a time in Florida.

It is such a fun book with all kinds of questions for kids to answer including things like: What do you think about when you wake up in the morning? What games do you like to play? What makes you laugh? Book Summary: This book promotes thinking about who we really are and where were from. If you had to leave with just a suite case the next day, what would you bring and why? A special book about a honest and strong women who has overcome many difficulties and has finally gotten her big break.

We all have a purpose,” she said “Some people are the tall oak trees, and some people are the beautiful bushes. But everyone has a purpose. There is nobody here on earth who doesn’t have a path or a purpose. An innate destiny. Every human being who comes, comes called.” My brother died just over three years ago and I was born with a learning disability, long term heart problems, diabetes, arthritis, dyslexia and dyspraxia, so I sometimes get my words in a muddle and I am very clumsy. I take lots of different tablets but I am just grateful to be alive and living in my own home. From the #1 New York Times bestselling creative team of Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell comes a timely picture book about immigration. Raising important identity issues like “Where did we come from?” and “Who are we?” This Is Me is as delightful as it is important, sure to stimulate dinner table conversation.

The booklet aims to provide an assessment tool that allows social workers to better understand the child’s needs, aspirations, and the resources available to them. It serves as a valuable tool for engaging with the child and planning effective support.

I also thought that the "Mindfulness" parts of the book could have been included in an entirely different book. I wish this book was simply her memoir and not self-help. I imagined the Mindfulness as a small companion book with these same suggestions and examples. In 2006, Janice won the Robert Louis Stevenson Award to write at Hotel Chevillon in Grez sur Loing, and in 2007, was the first Scottish receipient of the Jura Writer’s Retreat. I think Chrissy has an amazing personality. I love her positivity and how she LOVES herself! But this book…it wasn’t my favorite. While I adore Chrissy, I struggled with this book. She spends a lot of time talking about her childhood trauma, and the perpetrators are still very much present in her life. There are points where I felt she excused their behavior–which isn’t okay. Those who are in this situation may feel like they just have to endure it and forgive them. I just can’t agree with that mentality. Now, it worked for Chrissy, but it just rubbed me the wrong way.At the beginning of the school year, it is incredibly important for children to get comfortable with their classmates. Learning about each other is a great way for children to make friends with people that share common interests to themselves. Things became a bit easier when her mother married Chrissy's stepfather (she calls him 'Trigger'), but then he began systematically abusing Chrissy. I got my two older kids the Q & A a Day Book for Kids. It is a daily journal with questions for kids to write about each day of the year for 3 years. In the book she explains that it isn’t about getting taller, skinnier, richer, or more successful. It’s about loving yourself and realizing that we are all great, as we are.
