Summary

In "The Lakewood Boys on the Lazy S," L. P. Wyman intricately weaves a coming-of-age narrative set against the backdrop of the American West. Through vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, Wyman introduces us to a group of boys from Lakewood who embark on a summer journey to the Lazy S ranch, igniting themes of friendship, adventure, and self-discovery. The literary style melds a blend of realism and youthful exuberance, while the context of post-war America provides a nostalgic lens that reflects the challenges and liberated spirit of mid-20th century youth cultures. L. P. Wyman, an author with a deep appreciation for both nature and the American ethos, likely drew from personal experiences in his own youth, fostering connections through outdoor adventures. His storytelling is informed by a lifetime of engagement with regional landscapes and a keen awareness of the societal changes occurring during his time, which he adeptly captures in the boys' interactions and challenges faced on their journey. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking an authentic portrayal of boyhood camaraderie and the exploration of identity. Wyman's evocative prose invites readers to reflect on their own formative experiences, making "The Lakewood Boys on the Lazy S" a timeless tale that resonates across generations.

    A no-nonsense guide that equips children for the many challenging and confusing physical, emotional, and social issues they will face in adolescence.
    Children are reaching puberty at a much earlier age and therefore face many "teen" issues long before their actual teenage years. Aimed at 9–12-year-olds, Help! Why Am I Changing? helps children prepare for puberty and adolescence by informing them about a wide range of issues and addressing common concerns. It covers physical changes such as starting periods and growing body hair, emotional changes such as mood swings and feelings for the opposite sex, and social issues such as cyber-bullying. With an accessible Q&A approach, it focuses directly on the concern at hand, providing practical factual information and advice and reassurance. Examples of some of the questions tackled are: "Why am I starting to get spots?" / "Why am I putting on weight?" / "Why do I feel like an outsider at school?" / "How can I deal with textual harassment?" / "Why are my parents so strict?" / "Why do I get angry all the time?"

    I still remember that house filled with summer … 
      
    Growing up, Jung-soon spent every moment she could at her grandparents' house. Dressing up and watching cartoons. Dyeing each other's fingernails with crushed balsam petals. Getting the whole neighborhood together to sweep their streets. Falling asleep together … just the three of them, happy. 
      
    Grandfather was Grandmother's best and only friend. On every Jesa day, during the ancestral ritual, he would gently place the okchundang candy in her mouth, a big smile spreading across her face as it melted on her tongue. 
      
    But nothing ever stays the same, and as Jung-soon got older, so did her grandparents. She presents an achingly beautiful novel about the little joys and sharp sorrows that make up a life together as a family. 
      
    ★ “This sweet, poignant tale deserves to be appreciated by all audiences, particularly adults with aging parents. Queue the (cathartic) ugly tears, though, and prepare with plenty of tissues. Heartbreakingly glorious … stupendously affecting.”—Booklist (starred)

    In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 NIVGod made everything in the world. On the first day of creation, God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  God separated the light from the darkness. On the second day of creation, God separated the waters above from the waters below and called the open space “sky.” On the third day, God made the land and separated it from the seas. He created beautiful meadows, tall mountains, and trees that would grow fruit. On the fourth day, God made the sun, moon, and stars. On the fifth day of creation, God made all of the animals that live in the ocean and then all of the birds that fly in the sky. On the sixth day, God made the animals. Huge elephants, tiny turtles, playful monkeys and majestic lions were created perfectly by Him! Then God continued to work and made the first man and the first woman. On the seventh day, God rested. Everything was complete and God saw that everything He made was good.  Teach young children the story of creation and that God is perfect in all that He does.  Titles in the Bible Stories Series include: In the Beginning, Noah and the Ark, Two By Two, Rise and Shine, Jonah and the Whale, Daniel and the Lions’ Den, David and Goliath, The Story of Esther, All About Jesus, Miracles of Jesus, Jesus Loves The Little Children, The Lord Is My Shepherd, and The Easter Story.
