Bobby And Mandee S Too Safe For Strangers

Most children, especially children on the autism spectrum, accept adults' friendliness at face value. Sometimes it can have tragic consequences. Written by a Deputy Sheriff, this book is credited with foiling at least 22 stranger abductions. Characters Bobby and Mandee explain stranger danger in a way that is accessible, but not frightening, for children. Read it to your child and role-play different scenarios. Create a password only you and your child know, label backpacks on the inside (so strangers won't know your name). Strangers can be men or women, old or young. Adults should not touch, give gifts to, or ask for help from children. If they do, don't keep it a secret! Tell an adult! Arm your child with the knowledge that may save his or her life.

Quietly, without drawing attention to themselves, a group of five men and two women, all with a special concern, met secretly to discuss the impact of the planned construction project at the local old abandoned hotel. They were friends and long-time local citizens, bound by a single incident, which they had successfully hidden from the rest of the world. Now, the planned construction rekindled old, deeply hidden emotions as well as a renewed terror into their very hearts and souls. It was fear, although never really forgotten, that had laid dormant for more than twenty-five years.

Can you feel nostalgic for a life you've never known? Suffused with her much-loved warmth and wit, Emma John's memoir follows her moving and memorable journey to master one of the hardest musical styles on earth - and to find her place in an alien world.

Classically trained, highly strung and wedded to London life, Emma was about as country as a gin martini. So why did it feel like a homecoming? Answering that question takes Emma deep into the Appalachian mountains, where she uncovers a hidden culture that confounds every expectation - and learns some emotional truths of her own.
