Miss Wright is a writer. She enjoys her work. Each day she sits at her desk and writes stories with marvelous characters who live exciting lives. But, except for the click-click-click of the keyboard, it is quiet in Miss Wright's office. Too quiet. And too lonely. So Miss Wright decides she needs a pet to keep her company. But finding the perfect pet may not be as easy as it sounds. A mynah bird is too quiet, a cat makes her sleepy, and a hamster running around on its wheel makes Miss Wright dizzy. What's a lonely writer to do? As the happy ending to her story, Miss Wright finds not only the perfect pet but also the perfect helpmate to her work. Judy Young's books with Sleeping Bear Press include the recently released A Book for Black-Eyed Susan and The Hidden Bestiary of Marvelous, Mysterious, and (maybe even) Magical Creatures. Judy speaks at schools and conferences across the country. She lives near Springfield, Missouri. Andrea Wesson studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and has illustrated several picture books, including Not Just Another Moose, Opera Cat, and Argus. She lives in Maryland and would love to live in Miss Wright's house by the beach (but not with a monkey).
A lonely writer searches for the perfect pet to keep her company in her solitary work. Full color.
Mrs. Lovewright is sure that a cat is just what she needs until she acquires a cat that has a mind of its own.
Pet Loss Is Devastating,There Are Ways To Help Ease Your Pain... Dear friend, I wonder if you can relate to some of the stories in this book... * Was the decision to euthanize your pet one of the hardest things you've ever done? * Do you have an old or terminally ill pet who you cannot stand the thought of losing? * Do you find yourself denying the inevitable or wondering how you will ever be able to handle the loss when they are gone? * Is your child struggling to understand the death of their pet? * Do you wish you could find the words to comfort a grieving friend or family member who lost a beloved pet, but you don't know what to say to show your support without appearing to trivialize their pain? * Did the loss of your animal best friend trigger unhappy memories or unresolved conflicts of loss from years ago? * Did you find that you were more upset over losing a pet, than losing a parent or relative? All of the contributors knew their pets were more than just animals... they are our closest friends, constant companions, and integral members of the family. Just one of the comments about the book "I can't share how sad I am about my dog, because my co-workers will think I am crazy. But, on the other hand, I inquire about their child's cold and buy their stupid Girl Scout cookies to support them. It isn't fair! Oh God, please don't let me start crying at work again. I heard someone call me a drama queen and say; It's only a dog, not a child. I just need someone to acknowledge my sadness." Each day with our pet is special and brings joy to both the owner and the owned (sometimes it is hard to determine who owns who, do you agree?). No one wants to lose their pet. No one gets an animal anticipating the death of that companion. But the fact is, pets are lost to accidents, disease, old age or they simply wander off and never come home. It's finding ways to deal with the grief that will help you during the difficult time of losing your best friend. Read this book, you will be so glad you did.
The loss of a beloved pet may be the first death experience children face. It is very traumatic for the child and should not be trivialized. Their feelins and emotions are very real and they are trying to process the situation as best they can. They need the support and understanding of caring adults to work through what has happened and what it means to them personally. Pet loss and the surrounding activity can be a catalyst for growth and understanding for the entire family. Talking and sharing thoughts and emotions is one of the best ways to cope. That is why people gather after a funeral to share stories and acknowledge the part the deceased has had in their lives. It is a teaching moment to share openly about what is going on in our hearts, minds and bodies. Recognize that not all adults or children grive in the same way. Do not expect the child to be openly sad or to be appearing uncaring in their attitude about the death of the pet. It may take some time to process what this loss means to them. No matter how the child may appear to be taking the news, do have a priod of time just for them to talk and you to listen. After sharing their fears and concerns, you will wantto reassure them that they are safe and loved. This may be the opportunity to teach the values and beliefs that you may not have shared with your family. A great many of the people who deal with depression or feelings of suicide as adults suffer from some sort of sorrow they never had the opportunity to work out as a child. Judy Helm Wright has a new book coming out to assist you in this process. Watch for "How To Explain Death, Loss & Grieve to Children" You will find it on Amazon very soon or by checking out our website at www.ArtichokePress.com

Military families face stressful times that are unique to the military lifestyle. One of the most challenging situations, both for children and parents, is when a father, mother, or sibling is deployed for military service and must be away from the home. Children often experience sadness, anger, fear, anxiety, and loneliness, and they do not understand their own feelings or know how to express them. This book is designed to help children especially, but also their parents, during such difficult times. Based on many years of experience as a social worker, who has assisted military families experiencing stress, author Beth Andrews has created an excellent tool for allowing children and their loved ones to deal with the many emotions caused by deployment. The text and illustrations encourage children to discuss their feelings and to draw their own pictures to express themselves. The accompanying parents'' guide is designed to validate parents'' feelings and give them ways to help their children cope. Guided by this approach, a parent or caregiver can help their children understand why one of their parents or a sibling had to leave home, identify their reactions, cope with their feelings in a positive way, be assured that they are not alone, and try new activities to help themselves adjust. At a time when military families are asked to make many sacrifices in the service of their country, this reassuring book will be a welcome resource.
Many activists worry about the same few problems in their groups: low turnout, inactive members, conflicting views on racism, overtalking, and offensive violations of group norms. But in searching for solutions to these predictable and intractable troubles, progressive social movement groups overlook class culture differences. In Missing Class, Betsy Leondar-Wright uses a class-focused lens to show that members with different class life experiences tend to approach these problems differently. This perspective enables readers to envision new solutions that draw on the strengths of all class cultures to form the basis of stronger cross-class and multiracial movements.The first comprehensive empirical study of US activist class cultures, Missing Class looks at class dynamics in 25 groups that span the gamut of social movement organizations in the United States today, including the labor movement, grassroots community organizing, and groups working on global causes in the anarchist and progressive traditions. Leondar-Wright applies Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of cultural capital and habitus to four class trajectories: lifelong working-class and poor; lifelong professional middle class; voluntarily downwardly mobile; and upwardly mobile.Compellingly written for both activists and social scientists, this book describes class differences in paths to activism, attitudes toward leadership, methods of conflict resolution, ways of using language, diversity practices, use of humor, methods of recruiting, and group process preferences. Too often, we miss class. Missing Class makes a persuasive case that seeing class culture differences could enable activists to strengthen their own groups and build more durable cross-class alliances for social justice.
