Download or read book Bad Guys Don t Have Birthdays written by Vivian Gussin Paley and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-07-26 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bad guys are not allowed to have birthdays, pick blueberries, or disturb the baby. So say the four-year-olds who announce life's risks and dangers as they play out the school year in Vivian Paley's classroom. Their play is filled with warnings. They invent chaos in order to show that everything is under control. They portray fear to prove that it can be conquered. No theme is too large or too small for their intense scrutiny. Fantasy play is their ever dependable pathway to knowledge and certainty. " It . . . takes a special teacher to value the young child's communications sufficiently, enter into a meaningful dialogue with the youngster, and thereby stimulate more productivity without overwhelming the child with her own ideas. Vivian Paley is such a teacher."—Maria W. Piers, in the American Journal of Education "[Mrs. Paley's books] should be required reading wherever children are growing. Mrs. Paley does not presume to understand preschool children, or to theorize. Her strength lies equally in knowing that she does not know and in trying to learn. When she cannot help children—because she can neither anticipate nor follow their thinking—she strives not to hinder them. She avoids the arrogance of adult to small child; of teacher to student; or writer to reader."—Penelope Leach, author of Your Baby & Child in the New York Times Book Review "[Paley's] stories and interpretation argue for a new type of early childhood education . . . a form of teaching that builds upon the considerable knowledge children already have and grapple with daily in fantasy play."—Alex Raskin, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Through the 'intuitive language' of fantasy play, Paley believes, children express their deepest concerns. They act out different roles and invent imaginative scenarios to better understand the real world. Fantasy play helps them cope with uncomfortable feelings. . . . In fantasy, any device may be used to draw safe boundaries."—Ruth J. Moss, Psychology Today

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story of a daughter of Holocaust survivors who pursued her dream to be a mother with courage and single minded vigor will touch your heart, make you laugh and move you. It not only offers a primer about adoption but about the fortitude to achieve your goals. A compelling read from cover to cover.” Joseph Berger, New York Times Award Winning Journalist “ I couldn’t put the book down. This is the story of a brave woman who skillfully chronicled her quest to be a mother and all the horrors and red tape she had to endure to become one. It will make you laugh and cry, and cherish your family all the more.” Rita Lakin, Screenwriter for Falcon Crest, Dynasty and Peyton Place, author of The Only Woman in the Room What would you go through to achieve your dream? For me it was having a baby. After failing at what Mother Nature says comes naturally, my husband and I took advantage of everything modern medicine had to offer, again without results. Determined to be parents, we were left with the only remaining path - adoption. Though this seemed a more manageable route, adoption is far from predictable. This time our roller coaster ride faced unpredictable birth mothers, unreliable baby brokers, media competitions, mid-night crank calls, repeatedly changing government regulations and strangling red tape. This is the heart-wrenching tale of our convoluted 10-year quest to have a family, from the serious, and sometimes hilarious side of fertility treatments, through two harrowing international adoptions. Our journey is filled with so many cliff hangers it reads more like a suspense tale than reality. As you come along for our wild ride you will be clutching this book praying we don’t get derailed again. Our story of determination and tenacity will give hope to anyone facing a difficult life journey. Let my story motivate you to attain your dreams!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HENRY BINS IS ONLY AWAKE FOR ONE HOUR A DAY. Two weeks after Henry's abduction and he is still burning with questions: had his mother really tortured him with a synthetic nightmare? Was he really one of the CIA Sleep Control Program's first experiments? What was on the flash drive that the President had supposedly given him? But most importantly, if his mother had caused his condition, could she reverse it? Henry soon begins the hunt for his mother, but to find her, he'll need to delve into his mother's past; a world where nothing is as it seems, where the Cold War still exists, where secrets are the only currency, and where torture is an art form. In his search for answers, Henry learns that everything -- his condition, his mother, his father, even the President -- are linked by one thing: PROJECT SANDMAN. And that it might, just might, be his salvation. Selected Praise for Nick Pirog "Nick [Pirog] is the best yet.
