In the nursery all the toys are getting ready for Christmas. All, that is, except for Rocking-horse, who is boastful, proud and unkind. Then, on Christmas Eve, Rocking-horse decides to change his ways by taking some of the damaged toys to a special place to be spruced up for Christmas.

The Night the Toys Had a Party (Picture Books)

They called themselves the "Nancy Hart Militia", forty-six privileged and proper southern women who weren't looking for trouble, but were trained and ready should trouble come looking for them. The Civil War had taken away their men, and their way of life, but it wasn't going to take their town without a fight. And when that moment came, dressed in all their finery, bearing rifles, and armed with courage, they demonstrated the power of love in the face of fear. Inspired by a true story, The Nancies follows the three Bull sisters - young Addie, tough Delia, and compassionate Sallie - through the tempest of the Civil War. Through unimaginable change and loss, they each find a wider place in the world and in their own hearts. The Nancies is replete with romance, conflict, daring, discovery, and the unexpected call to live beyond one's safe and familiar boundaries.

Rethinking Children and Inclusive Education: Opportunities and Complexities (New Childhoods)

Rethinking Children and Inclusive Education examines attitudes towards, and experiences of, children's marginalization and inclusion. Sue Pearson draws on a wide range of thought, research and practice from different fields and countries to debate, challenge and reappraise long held beliefs, attitudes and ways of working and living with children with differing needs and learning challenges. This book adopts a broad view of inclusive education that embraces all, with examples mainly but not exclusively related to special educational needs; takes a nuanced perspective which goes beyond reductionist debates about placement; and gives attention to the wider educational and social contexts that envelop schools and those that follow schooling.
Throughout, Rethinking Children and Inclusive Education acknowledges some of the tensions, contradictions and overlaps in policies and practices by exploring a variety of UK and international sources. Making an original contribution to current debates, the text emphasises research that adopts a socio-cultural/ecological perspective alongside that which focuses on child factors, including participatory or emancipatory research, and highlights the links between principles, research, policies and practices.
Including extensive examples of research, practical activities, key points and guidance on further reading, Rethinking Children and Inclusive Education is essential reading for all those studying childhood at undergraduate and graduate level and of great interest to those working with children in any field.
