J'ai peur de ne pas être capable de m'endormir. J'ai mal en dedans de moi. J'ai même de la difficulté à respirer. J'ai comme une boule qui grandit dans mon ventre et qui prend trop de place. J'ai rencontré le médecin. J'ai appris que ma boule en dedans s'appelle de l'anxiété et qu'il y a plusieurs enfants qui vivent la même chose que moi. Heureusement que j'ai eu de l'aide. Quelquefois mon anxiété arrive à s'envoler.

Abstract

Après 20 ans de recherche et d'expérimentation, Louise Reid découvre le déclencheur unique de toute anxiété. À partir d'une combinaison alliant une expérience personnelle de troubles anxieux, des études universitaires en psychologie, une longue recherche accompagnée d'expérimentations et la certitude que l'anxiété est issue d'une même source chez tous les gens affectés, Louise Reid est finalement parvenue à en cerner le déclencheur unique et, surtout, à trouver le moyen de le neutraliser presque instantanément. Dans des mots simples et accessibles, l'auteure décrit dans ce livre ce qu'est le seul déclencheur de l'anxiété, les éléments qui l'activent, le processus qui se met en branle par des poussées d'adrénaline, ainsi que la façon très efficace de le contrecarrer facilement et rapidement.

Abstract

Scaredy never sleeps -- sleep might mean bad dreams about dragons, ghosts, vampire bats and polka-dot monsters. Our wide-eyed hero has a plan: stay awake all night, every night. Between counting stars, playing cymbals and making scrapbooks, he does a good job of avoiding dreamland. With exhaustion taking its toll, Scaredy comes face-to-face with an alarming horoscope prediction: All his dreams are about to come true! He must prepare for the worst and his Bad Dream Action Plan includes a fire extinguisher to snuff out dragons and a fan to blast away ghosts. But when disaster strikes, will Scaredy survive this ordeal? Will he thank his lucky stars? Will he find sweet dreams? Scaredy Squirrel at Night tackles a fear everyone -- and especially the young -- can relate to. It's a bedtime story to make light of kids' fear of the dark and a fable for our sleep-deprived society.

Abstract

With colourful illustrations and a rhyming narrative, this book is easy to enjoy with your child or share with your classroom. It is a great starting place to discuss the topic of worries with children, and remind them they are never alone with their troubles. By depicting the worries as an object, in the form of a dark storm cloud, this allows much younger children to understand and visualize worries. Children's imaginations are incredible tools to utilize when addressing and working through anxious thoughts. Enjoy sharing this book with the little ones in your life!

Abstract

A courageous and intimate memoir, The Education of Augie Merasty is the story of a child who faced the dark heart of humanity, let loose by the cruel policies of a bigoted nation.

A retired fisherman and trapper who sometimes lived rough on the streets, Augie Merasty was one of an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Metis children who were taken from their families and sent to government-funded, church-run schools, where they were subjected to a policy of aggressive assimilation.

As Augie recounts, these schools did more than attempt to mould children in the ways of white society. They were taught to be ashamed of their heritage and, as he experienced, often suffered physical and sexual abuse.

But even as he looks back on this painful part of his childhood, Merasty's sense of humour and warm voice shine through.

Abstract

In this important graphic novel, two Aboriginal brothers surrounded by poverty, drug abuse, and gang violence, try to overcome centuries of historic trauma in very different ways to bring about positive change in their lives.

Pete, a young Aboriginal man wrapped up in gang violence, lives with his younger brother, Joey, and his mother who is a heroin addict. One night, Pete and his mother's boyfriend, Dennis, get into a big fight, which sends Dennis to the morgue and Pete to jail. Initially, Pete keeps up ties to his crew, until a jail brawl forces him to realize the negative influence he has become on Joey, which encourages him to begin a process of rehabilitation that includes traditional Aboriginal healing circles and ceremonies.

Powerful, courageous, and deeply moving, The Outside Circle is drawn from the author's twenty years of work and research on healing and reconciliation of gang-affiliated or incarcerated Aboriginal men.
