It's Boot's task to take Daddy where he's needed, but it's Daddy's job to explain why. Boots say Daddy is getting ready to deploy, but Bean needs to know why Daddy is leaving, what he does while he's away, and why Bean can't go with him. Daddy is a soldier and his boots are preparing to take him away again. If Bean can hide Daddy's boots will Daddy be able to stay? Daddy explains to Bean the many things Daddy's called to do, why his boots sometimes have to take him far away and how his work is really not so much different than other daddies' jobs. Being deployed is a fact of life for soldiers of all military branches. Humanitarian efforts, operations other than war (OOW), peaceful or wartime missions - a soldier's duty is to be there. Sometimes it means leaving little ones behind wondering why. Daddy's Boots is a touching description of a few quiet moments between Daddy and his young child, Bean, as Daddy prepares to deploy for his job with the military. Daddy's Boots is Winner of the 2005 Dixie Lee Connor Award for Best YA or Children's Manuscript. www.lionheartbooks.net

Pickysaurus Mac

When food tastes like mud, smells like trash and feels like mush, what's a hungry dinosaur to do? Pickysaurus Mac is not your typical dinosaur. Mealtimes pose a special problem for our picky little friend. Sometimes foods smell too gross to eat, they taste different than they look and their textures feel like garbage in his mouth. His friends tell him to eat right to stay healthy, but some things you just can't fix with words. Will Pickysaurus Mac ever find something he likes? When he finds he likes it, will it be the best food for him? Will he find it in time?This award-winning picture book for picky eaters is for kids and parents alike.Sensory Processing Disorder, also referred to as Sensory Integration Dysfunction, is a neurological disorder most often diagnosed in early childhood. It is not synonymous with learning disabled. Many children diagnosed with SPD are average or above in intellect. Understanding the challenges they face is the first step for caregivers in guiding these children in learning to tolerate their enhanced senses, and ultimately succeed in society.The SPD child must learn to navigate through the wires crossed between their senses and their brain receptors. Symptoms span a wide range between over-sensitive or under-sensitive to stimulation of any or all of their senses.One symptom is the adverse affect food (taste, smell, texture) has on their senses. Often these children are labeled as picky eaters, punished for a condition over which they have little or no control. These children have a small selection of foods (called safe foods) they're able to tolerate, sometimes making mealtimes less than enjoyable. Encouraging them to experience new textures and foods in a safe, unforced way helps the SPD child learn sensory tolerance.For more information about SPD, contact the Star Institute at www.spdstar.orgwww.lionheartgrouppublishing.com
