By highlighting the ways kids are different from one another it helps children to accept themselves and others as the beautifully unique individuals that they are.
It’s OK to be Different encourages kids to be kind and befriend those who are different from themselves, showing young children that they don’t have to look alike or enjoy doing the same activities to be kind to one another.

What Hope Edelman’s book has done for motherless daughters, Wednesday Martin’s empowering and original Stepmonster does for stepmothers: unlocks the emotional mysteries of why they think and feel and act the way they do. Martin draws on her own experience as a stepmother, interviews many stepmothers and stepchildren, and gathers insights from literature, psychology, and evolutionary biology to reveal the little-understood realities of this demanding role.
Stepmonster illuminates the harrowing process of becoming a stepmother, exposes the myths and realities of being married to a man with children, counteracts the prevailing notion that stepmothers are solely responsible for the problems they encounter, identifies the five step-dilemmas that create conflict, and considers the emotional and social challenges men with children face when they remarry.

Being hired to cater a wedding in Provence where the who’s who of France will be attending is a dream come true. Even better that it’s being held at the Chateau Madrigal, a winery just outside of Marseille. Chef Dani assumes there will be plenty of time off to explore Michelin restaurants, where Van Gogh lived and painted, and Provence in all its beauty, with its flamingos, black bulls, and miles of Camargue salt flats.
To say nothing of imbibing in the award-winning wines the chateau produces. Sounds ideal, right?Not quite. Not when Amalie, the bride-to-be, goes missing hours before the wedding. Kidnapped for ransom is ruled out, but who would want to kidnap the bride-to-be?And why?
Perhaps the disgruntled maid of honor? Or the bride’s jealous sister? Or even the man who wasn’t chosen to be the new winemaker at Chateau Madrigal? Good thing the caterer’s sous-chef is a private investigator! And have you ever heard of a dog being a maid of honor?
Join Chef Dani Rosetti, her sous-chef, Arthur, and Killer, a huge Mastiff dog, as they search the wine caves beneath the chateau for Amalie. Caves that are dark and frightening. But if the chateau’s security force hasn’t had any luck finding Amalie, how can they hope to find her in time for the wedding?
