Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents, caregivers, and professionals are aware of the gut-wrenching realities of child sexual abuse. Yet, talking to kids about sexual abuse can induce anxious emotions in adults. No Touching Secrets! safely creates the conversation that adults want to have with a child in their care. The voice of the knowledgeable and loving parent in this book can become their own. Instead of shying away from this important discussion, adults who read this book will feel equipped and empowered, knowing how to educate a child about what they need to know and do to be safe. In this story, a mother talks with her daughter, Emily, about touches that are okay and not okay, including when it is not okay for someone to touch a child's private parts. The mother says that it is never okay for someone to touch a child's private parts in secret. The mother addresses her daughter's questions and assumptions about secret private part touching. They agree that it is best to talk openly and often about touch, even about touch that seems okay. The family in the book also role models a healthy response to a child's disclosure of sexual abuse.Ages 4 and up. "e;No Touching Secrets! is sensitively written by Melissa Pirwani and beautifully illustrated by Becky Fawson. It deals with a topic that we know parents can find difficult to discuss with their children, and may not be sure about where or when to begin. This gentle story has important messages for both children and parents. For children, it is written in a way that is affirming, will be meaningful to young children, and teaches them about touching, private parts, and body integrity. For parents, through the voice of Emily's mom (mum), we learn ways to have talks with children about private parts touching: the questions to ask, the explanations to give, the actions to take. No Touching Secrets! is an empowering picture book that can be read aloud by parents and children together."e;Kerryann Walsh, PhDCo-leader, Children's Rights and Welfare Program, Children & Youth Research CentreQueensland University of Technology, AustraliaNo Touching Secrets! "e;provides a valuable and very accessible tool for parents to talk about a difficult subject with their children. It is written in an engaging, child-friendly story book form with colourful illustrations and as such could also be of practical use to professionals, particularly teachers in addressing child welfare and personal safety issues as part of the curriculum. I would highly recommend this book to parents and teachers."e; Dr. Anne-Marie McAlindenQueen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland(Parent and Expert in the field of Child Sexual Abuse)"e;It is critical that supportive adults engage children in age-appropriate discussions on topics surrounding child sexual abuse. No Touching Secrets! is sensitively written, engaging and age appropriate for children. It is a valuable tool to enable adults to broach the ongoing crucial conversations to help prevent child sexual abuse."e;Glori Meldrum Founder of Little WarriorsAlberta, Canada"e;Many times sexual abuse to children can be completely prevented and avoided, if only there was the opportunity to educate. No Touching Secrets! not only educates the child, but also the parent. It allows the parent a safe approach to take with their children and also teaches children touching secrets are never okay and what to do if something were to happen."e;Lisa Flemming(Parent and Child Welfare Professional) Rapid City, South DakotaThis is a beautifully written and illustrated book to help parents discuss the topic of body safety with their young children. I highly recommend it!Sandy K. Wurtele, Ph.D.Creator of the Body Safety Training Program

Download or read book PostSecret written by Frank Warren and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2005-11-29 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The project that captured a nation's imagination. The instructions were simple, but the results were extraordinary. "You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything -- as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative." It all began with an idea Frank Warren had for a community art project. He began handing out postcards to strangers and leaving them in public places -- asking people to write down a secret they had never told anyone and mail it to him, anonymously. The response was overwhelming. The secrets were both provocative and profound, and the cards themselves were works of art -- carefully and creatively constructed by hand. Addictively compelling, the cards reveal our deepest fears, desires, regrets, and obsessions. Frank calls them "graphic haiku," beautiful, elegant, and small in structure but powerfully emotional. As Frank began posting the cards on his website, PostSecret took on a life of its own, becoming much more than a simple art project. It has grown into a global phenomenon, exposing our individual aspirations, fantasies, and frailties -- our common humanity. Every day dozens of postcards still make their way to Frank, with postmarks from around the world, touching on every aspect of human experience. This extraordinary collection brings together the most powerful, personal, and beautifully intimate secrets Frank Warren has received -- and brilliantly illuminates that human emotions can be unique and universal at the same time.

Download or read book Brand Sense written by Martin Lindstrom and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-02-02 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive book on sensory branding, shows how companies appeal to consumers’ five senses to sell products. Did you know that the gratifying smell that accompanies the purchase of a new automobile actually comes from a factory-installed aerosol can containing “new car” aroma? Or that Kellogg’s trademarked “crunch” is generated in sound laboratories? Or that the distinctive click of a just-opened jar of Nescafé freeze-dried coffee, as well as the aroma of the crystals, has been developed in factories over the past decades? Or that many adolescents recognize a pair of Abercrombie & Fitch jeans not by their look or cut but by their fragrance? In perhaps the most creative and authoritative book on how our senses affect our everyday purchasing decisions, global branding guru Martin Lindstrom reveals how the world’s most successful companies and products integrate touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound with startling and sometimes even shocking results. In conjunction with renowned research institution Millward Brown, Lindstrom’s innovative worldwide study unveils how all of us are slaves to our senses—and how, after reading this book, we’ll never be able to see, hear, or touch anything from our running shoes to our own car doors the same way again. An expert on consumer shopping behavior, Lindstrom has helped transform the face of global marketing with more than twenty years of hands-on experience. Firmly grounded in science, and disclosing the secrets of all our favorite brands, Brand Sense shows how we consumers are unwittingly seduced by touch, smell, sound, and more.

Book excerpt: Are you calling dibs? She's a woman, not the last piece of f**king pie. And yes, I'm calling dibs if it keeps your hands off her. Carter Pierce wants to spend his days tending the family farm he inherited and that's about it. After a tour of duty and a few bullet holes, he's looking forward to some peace and quiet in his hometown. Unfortunately for the sexy, bearded farmer, hippie-dippie Blue Moon doesn't believe in peace and quiet. And his nosy neighbors sure as hell don't know how to mind their own business. Neither does the big city journalist who arrives to interview him for a magazine article. Summer Lentz is out of place with her designer wardrobe and workaholic schedule. She asks too many questions and gets under his skin with her smart mouth and those denim-blue eyes. Now she's typing his family's story a mile a minute at his kitchen table and sleeping in the bedroom across the hall. His only option is to scare her away from farm life so he can go back to his nice, solitary life. But Summer's got a stubborn streak and secrets of her own. And once Carter starts pulling at those threads, he's not so eager to send her packing. Will a nudge from the matchmaking Beautification Committee result in a happily ever after or a homegrown disaster?
