![]() ![]() “My Body Belongs to Me” fills this void and facilitates this dialogue in a straightforward yet sensitive manner. Surprisingly, until now, there were no age-appropriate books available to help adults discuss this subject with young children. “Just as we carefully teach youngsters what to do in case of fire, we must teach them what to do if someone touches them,” urges Starishevsky. The clear message of “My Body Belongs to Me” is that if someone inappropriately touches you, tell. It tells the story of a child who is inappropriately touched by an uncle’s friend. The book encourages them to tell a parent or teacher if someone touches their “private parts.” Inspired by one of Starishevsky’s young sexual abuse victims who followed Oprah Winfrey’s advice and outcried after watching an episode of her show, “My Body Belongs to Me” is geared toward children ages three to ten. Starishevsky, mother of two, has crafted a book that speaks to children – it makes them aware that when it comes to their bodies, there are boundaries. ![]() ![]() The children’s book, “My Body Belongs to Me,” written by New York City prosecutor of child abuse and sex crimes Jill Starishevsky, teaches children that their bodies are their own. ![]() ![]() It shows the history of the Green Book, how we arrived at our present historical moment, and how far we still have to go when it comes to race relations in America.Ĭandacy Taylor is an award-winning author, photographer and cultural documentarian.

It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific problem. The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that were safe for black travelers. Published from 1936 to 1966, the Green Book was hailed as the “black travel guide to America.” At that time, it was very dangerous and difficult for African-Americans to travel because black travelers couldn’t eat, sleep, or buy gas at most white-owned businesses.

I sat with Pastor George Matthews from Bessemer, Alabama, to discuss how he overcame his cancer diagnosis. The greatest battlefield for any challenge or circumstance is in your mind. If we do, then the devil has already won. But one thing is true: we can’t allow our emotions to control us. Sometimes you don’t know what to feel or don’t have any energy, and you want to know why. You may have never had COVID yourself, but the residue from COVID has affected us all in some way-depression, fear, anxiety, frustration, or a whole host of other emotions. The physical isolation of the pandemic created or fed into mental isolation for many. When people describe how COVID affected them, they often mention how it impacted their relationships and, in turn, their emotions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I LOVED this book!!

You'll Have to Decide. I'm looking forward to seeing more stuff by James Robertson. One friend even said that she wondered if she was the only one who thought about planning a trip to Scotland, as the writing is good enough to convince the reader or listener of the trueness of the story. Everyone falls in love with, while also disliking, Gideon Mack. I've suggested it to others in both audio and hard cover form and all have come back to me with great reviews of the author, writing, general flow, and believability of the story. This is a definite must for anyone who wants a good book added to his or her reading list for the year. After a short while, though, you get used to the accent, and all is well. At some points I had to pause and rewind the book to listen again because he went into the thick Scottish accent of the common man. The narrator does a fantastic job of adding life and personality to each character of the story. He is flawed at best, which may be one of the things that makes him so interesting. Everything about the man, his life, his mannerisms, and his thoughts completely captivated me.
