Paperback. Condition: Good. Zelda Harjo's life has been in a constant tailspin due to family she loved and lost, as well as hidden family secrets. She has injected herself into other folk's families, and that has left her with consequences which torture her soul. How do we accept doing wrong sometimes in order to make things right in life? Zelda has street fighter skills, the expertise of a hustler, and a strong work ethic. Everything that's good and bad about her can and has crossed over into her sensual fires, sometimes resulting in bad decisions. She is not above compromising in mixing the good with the bad to go with her deep sense of morality that drives her in the right directions, but sometimes the mixture is done too late. Her family ties are rooted in cryptic secret relations, leaving her feeling incomplete and struggling with how to move forward in life. A Black and Native American woman, Zelda is beautiful; but she doesn't feel feminine or attractive even though others lust after her. She does, however, use the strength of both sides of her heritage to assist her in seeing inside of people in order to help her survive. With a surprise opportunity, Zelda's future seems to be changing, but lust, thievery, and mayhem seem to be always a hop, skip, and a leap away as she faces the legacy of her bloodline, and the reality of its dysfunctionality. Family lies, deception, and secrets all come to light in Bad Before Good & Those In-Between.…

Anika is excited to see someone new move in next door, but something looks very different about her new neighbor She has a pointy hat, a black cat and is up to something suspicious. Oh no Witches don't exist Do they? Is everything as it seems? This rhyming picture book playfully introduces why we should not judge people by their appearance. Exploring how stereotypes and superficial judgements are often misleading. Instead of dealing with racism, diversity and equality head on, it provides a great way to discuss and explore these concepts with children. Girls can be anything they want to be. To help overcome gender stereotyping, the story has female lead characters of color. The gender stereotypes that children are exposed to in their early years has a strong influence on what they choose to do. Which is why it's important for boys and girls to be exposed to women in non-gender stereotype roles. It's essential to creating an environment where girls feel comfortable choosing whatever career they want, and where boys actively support girls. Diversity is normal The best way to stop unconscious bias is to never let it set in. People of color should be seen equally as leaders, colleagues and friends. Showing children that diverse candidates perform all sorts of roles is essential to changing the realities of today. It doesn't matter what color your hands are, they can do any job you want them to. Heroines of their story Girls aren't sidekicks. That isn't well enough represented in children's books. Having female lead characters, both good & bad, is important to teaching children that there's their gender makes no difference. It's very hard to feel equal when majority of the lead & speaking roles are males. Adhi, Alvin (illustrator).…
