Best Wishes Siobhan Dillon Sales

Health and hope - after years of seeing the despair felt by sufferers, Karen Fischer wants people to know it is possible to treat Eczema effectively.

“I work with eczema patients every day. There are many heartbreaking eczema stories.

Often they come from people who have spent thousands of dollars seeing dozens of specialists, they have tried hundreds of skin care products, supplements, home remedies, topical steroids, wet wraps, and more. And they still have eczema.

They become skeptical, depressed and house-bound. I want to share my knowledge with health practitioners and eczema sufferers alike to help them gain a better understanding of eczema, so we can end the pain and suffering of this debilitating skin disease.”

Karen Fischer

Throughout our lives we face many challenges, both personal and 9 781925 335125 professional. Often, we struggle to know how best to cope and wish we had greater personal resources to draw upon. This book can help!

Based on the science and principles of positive psychology, Build the Person You Want to Be provides you with the tools you need to foster greater resilience and mental wellbeing. The ORANGES toolkit focuses on the seven key elements that support human flourishing and meaning: Optimism, Resilience, Attitude, Now (mindfulness), Gratitude, Energy and Strengths. Through an exploration of the current research, it shows that if you can increase your positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning and accomplishments, you enhance the capacity to handle life’s challenges and reduce the impact of the things that hold you back, such as fears, anxieties and doubts. This book outlines ways to practise and build skills to re-orientate your thinking from ‘What is wrong?’ to ‘What is right?’ and, despite life’s adversities, to bounce back and thrive. Whether you want to improve your organization’s work culture or wish to bolster your own inner resources, the ORANGES toolkit will help you create a more meaningful life and boost resilience, optimism and mental wellbeing.

The Art Garden

PENNY HARRISON & PENELOPE PRATLEY

Sadie wants to be a painter, just like her best friend, Tom. She loves playing with colour and finding shapes in unlikely places. But whenever Sadie picks up a paintbrush she makes a big mess. So instead, she spends her time working in the garden or playing with Tom. But, one day, Sadie gets a look at things from a different perspective — and makes a big discovery about herself and her own creativity. The Art Garden is a whimsical story about friendship and finding our creative flair. It encourages children to explore different ways of expressing themselves and celebrates the importance of individuality and self-acceptance.

Encourages kids to realise that creativity comes in many different forms and we all can be creative if we embrace our own particular talents.

Perfect Petunias

LYNN JENKINS & KIRRILI LONERGAN

Perfect Petunias is a book especially for those little people who find it hard to make mistakes, designed to ’shape’ perfectionistic tendencies towards being a little more self-accepting and flexible. Loppy is very worried about not doing his homework well enough.

He is always focusing on what he hasn’t done rather then what he has, and he becomes very frustrated. So, his friend Curly teaches him about how petunias grow — in lots of different, imperfect directions that we can’t control! Loppy learns that by trying to control whether he makes mistakes or not it’s as if he’s always trying to grow ‘perfect’ petunias. Sometimes he just needs to accept that things go a certain way and to change his definition of ‘perfect’ to mean trying his absolute best. Perfect Petunias is the third book in the ‘Lessons of a LAC’ series. This gorgeous series, by an author and illustrator who are passionate about giving children ways to think about and manage common emotional difficulties, is a valuable resource for every child to help guide their emotional development.
