Paperback. Condition: Good. When Tom Sturges became a father, he wanted to be the greatest father who ever walked the earth. So Sturges asked a lot of questions. He picked up ideas, advice, and tips from parents, grandparents, even rock stars and sports legends-anyone who had unique insights to share. The result is this practical, inspiring rule book for raising healthy, happy, safe, and cherished children. Philosophical, sensible, and empowering, these 76 ideas include such gems as: * Teach your children that they have to follow the "Parking Lot Rules" whenever they are in (you guessed it) a parking lot. They must stay close. There is to be no trailing behind. No racing ahead. No exceptions. * Let your child feel welcome and loved from the instant he or she walks into a room. "Smile When You See Them," and leave no doubt that, at that moment, your child is the most important person in your world. * Since parents who yell intimidate, and those who use a calm tone inspire, "When You Get Upset, Whisper"-and make sure your message is heard. * Follow "The Bill Walton Rule": If you can't be on time, be early. * When your children accomplish something great in sports, use "The ESPN Rule" by telling the story in intimate detail and filling them with the belief that they can do it again and again. Parking Lot Rules puts a fresh new spin on parenting, in an inspiring handbook full of heart and kindness that will resonate with joy and meaning for parents and children everywhere.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Full of wonder, humor, and heart, Girl Haven is the newest original story from the author of Lumberjanes. Three years ago, Ash's mom left home and never returned, leaving behind a husband and child and a shed full of mystical curiosities related to the all-girl fantasy world she'd created as a child-Koretris. One day Ash invites a new group of friends from Pride Club over, and they try one of the spells to enter Koretris. To their amazement, they're all transported to a magical realm filled with human-sized talking animals who are fiercely protective of their world and are ready to fight to protect it. But if Koretris is real, why is Ash there? Everyone has always called Ash a boy-shouldn't the spell have kept Ash out? And what does it mean if it let Ash in. Carter, Meaghan (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A wise and inspiring guide to parenting through the extraordinary- and at times tumultuous-journey that is the adolescent and teenage years. When Tom Sturges became a father, he decided that he wanted to be one of the greatest father that ever walked the earth. But things became a bit more complicated when his older son turned ten, and the chatty kid he'd known suddenly started locking his bedroom door. Tom realized he needed to find a way to stay on track-he needed crib notes. So, if a parenting idea of technique worked well, he wrote it down. And if he stumbled across something another parent did that was particularly ingenious or exemplary, he wrote that down, too. In Grow the Tree You Got, Tom presents "golden rules" for raising happy, healthy, and compassionate adults. His mantra? It's impossible to show our children too much respect, but it's worth the effort to try.…
