Find your inspiration to either become more involved in disability-focused supports or get the direct support you need to move forward with your own visionary idea to help more people with disabilities. Whether you are a person with a disability, provide support and resources for people with disabilities, or have a loved one who has touched your heart, the 14 authors in this book are talking to YOU. They have shared their hearts and souls in every chapter as they take you from their initial creation ideas through the joys and challenges of their very personal stories. Much like traditional start-ups and entrepreneurial ventures, every leader in this book began with a burning sense of purpose and commitment to the journey. However, in addition to the typical business-growth issues entrepreneurs face, the authors of this book have the added complexity of caring for someone with a disability or dealing with the daily challenges of having a disability themselves to various degrees. This beautiful difference is what makes this book so special. Uniting the stories of these exceptional disability leaders provides you with a unique perspective on the real struggles and commitment required to create and grow a disability-focused offering. It is their greatest hope that you find your story and inspiration to become an exceptional leader also.

During what can be a demanding and confusing season of life for many women, Living Beloved offers young mothers a chance to grow in their identity as children of God simply by observing their own little ones. By examining the simple characteristics of a child―transparency, trust, joy, boldness, and more―moms will learn to see their relationship with God their Father in a new way. Author Erin Hawley encourages Christian moms to view early motherhood as a wonderful tutoring session from God, as a lesson in how to grow closer to Him and live “beloved” as His child. The biblical insights and personal stories will renew readers, help them move closer to the Lord, and enjoy life as His child during the everyday routine of mamahood. This insightful and warm-hearted book will nourish a mom’s soul as she nourishes her children. Living Beloved helps young mothers develop a stronger sense of identity as children of God, leading to renewed strength, grace, and wisdom for the journey of motherhood.

Environmental Communication for Children: Media, Young Audiences, and the More-Than-Human World (Palgrave Studies in Media and Environmental Communication)

This book explores the nexus between children, media, and nature during a time of planetary crisis marked by climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation. In this time of planetary emergency, children have become an increasingly visible part of conversations about the human/nature relationship - they have also become an important market for environmentally-themed media content. Indeed, recent years have seen a proliferation of environmental texts, products, and narratives for young people: children are recognised and addressed as audiences for environmental content across a range of media including news, films, television programs, magazines, videogames, and transmedia franchises. Through analysis of a range of case studies, this book examines the construction of children as green audiences, the intersection between media and environmental literacies, and the mainstreaming of children's voices in environmental communication. The book will appeal to readers with an interest in children's media and the industry imperatives that shape the production of children's culture as well as to students, scholars, and practitioners in the field of environmental communication.
