In 1960, Bernstein was just a sixteen-year-old at considerable risk of failing to graduate high school. Inquisitive, self-taught―and, yes, truant―Bernstein landed a job as a copyboy at the Evening Star , the afternoon paper in Washington. By nineteen, he was a reporter there. In Chasing History: A Kid in the Newsroom , Bernstein recalls the origins of his storied journalistic career as he chronicles the Kennedy era, the swelling civil rights movement, and a slew of grisly crimes. He spins a buoyant, frenetic account of educating himself in what Bob Woodward describes as “the genius of perpetual engagement.” Funny and exhilarating, poignant and frank, Chasing History is an extraordinary memoir of life on the cusp of adulthood for a determined young man with a dogged commitment to the truth.

How to Baby

A wryly personal and deeply relatable graphic memoir skewering the “traditional” parenting book to chronicle the absurdities, frustrations, and soaring joys of new parenthood—from the acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist and author A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR How do you know if you’re ready to have a baby? How do you know if you might be pregnant? And how do you deal with peeing all the time and being hungry all the time and fielding well-meaning but kind of insulting advice and finding a doula and being dropped by your old friends and learning why it’s called mom brain and not dad brain and the tyranny of the milestones you’re not meeting and negotiating boundaries with in-laws and realizing that your heart now exists outside of your chest and in the body of this tiny little being whose entire existence depends on the quality of your care? To tackle these questions and many others, award-winning cartoonist and memoirist Liana Finck began illustrating her early years of motherhood, giving images and language to her insecurities, frustrations, and wild joy. In How to Baby , Liana takes her witty and lacerating cartoons (“Hobbies for Pregnant Women: Waiting on Hold with the Insurance Company”) and weaves them together with comic essays (“You Married a Brute. Worse. You’re a Nag: Go Ahead and Argue with Each Other”), handy lists (“Nesting. The Comprehensive List of What to Buy and Why Getting Things Used Is Dangerous and Unamerican”), and profound observations. Together, these brilliant pieces form an immersive and comprehensive narrative whole—a baby book, a resource, and an emotional balm—for our time. Read more

Drama Queen

'It has taken me several years of exploration, but I am at a place now where I see autism as neither an affliction nor a superpower. It's just the blueprint for who I am. There is no cure, but that's absolutely fine by me. To cure me of my autism would be to cure me of myself.' During the first thirty years of her life, comedy script writer Sara Gibbs had been labelled a lot of things - a cry baby, a scaredy cat, a spoiled brat, a weirdo, a show off - but more than anything else, she'd been called a Drama Queen. No one understood her behaviour, her meltdowns or her intense emotions. She felt like everyone else knew a social secret that she hadn't been let in on; as if life was a party she hadn't been invited to. Why was everything so damn hard? Little did Sara know that, at the age of thirty, she would be given one more label that would change her life's trajectory forever. That one day, sitting next to her husband in a clinical psychologist's office, she would learn that she had never been a drama queen, or a weirdo, or a cry baby, but she had always been autistic. Drama Queen is both a tour inside one autistic brain and a declaration that a diagnosis on the spectrum, with the right support, accommodations and understanding, doesn't have to be a barrier to life full of love, laughter and success. It is the story of one woman trying to fit into a world that has often tried to reject her and, most importantly, it's about a life of labels, and the joy of ripping them off one by one. Read more

RJ Learns

RJ Learn’s “Let’s go potty” was written to help provide speech delayed children to have a template to be able to communicate effectively when going to the toilet. Potty training speech-delayed children can be particularly challenging due to several factors. Communication barriers often make it difficult for these children to express their needs, such as when they need to use the toilet, leading to frustration and misunderstandings. Additionally, they may struggle to understand verbal instructions, complicating the process of following the necessary steps for potty training. Sensory sensitivities, which are common among some speech-delayed children, can also make the experience of using the toilet overwhelming. Key Features: Uses stories to provide visual learning cues, making the process easier to understand than verbal instructions alone. Presents potty training in a relatable and less intimidating context. Reinforces steps and expectations through repetition and consistency. Reduces anxiety and increases comfort with the new routine. Incorporates gestalts, or chunks of language, to enhance communication. Provides ready-made phrases for children to express their needs and understand instructions. This book is a labor of love, written for my son RJ, who has a speech delay. RJ is hyperlexic—he could read and recite the alphabet by the age of 2. However, it took another year and a half before he could communicate using functional language, as we didn’t initially realize he was a gestalt language processor. Once we, along with his speech therapists, recognized this, his progress accelerated. These books are designed specifically for him, integrating key phrases we want him to learn in various contexts. Through these stories, we strive to support his language development and assist other children with similar needs, incorporating everything we’ve learned and found effective for him. Read more

DREAMLAND ADVENTURES 5-Minute Bedtime Stories

Your child has outgrown simple bedtime stories. They want dragons with real fire, heroes who might actually fail, and endings that cost something. This book was written for them. Dreamland Adventures Book Two is a collection of twelve original fairy tales for children aged 8–12 — stories with genuine stakes, moral complexity, and the kind of dramatic tension that keeps older kids listening long after the lights go down. Every story is expertly crafted to bring children to a place of peace before sleep. Brave stories. Peaceful endings. WHAT'S INSIDE Part One: Kingdoms and Curses — A girl who trades her voice to save her village and discovers a different kind of language. A prince locked in a tower for 43 days — not by a dragon, but by his own refusal to say two words. A weaver's daughter who outwits the Goblin King with nothing but cleverness and a spool of impossible thread. A lighthouse keeper's son, alone in a storm, keeping a light burning for strangers he will never meet. Part Two: Wilderness and Wild Magic — A mapmaker whose imaginary maps turn out to be real places she somehow drew into existence. A girl who walks into a dangerous forest to ask the wolf directly what everyone else has only feared. A boy who can steal time from the sea and learns the hard way that power without judgment is the most dangerous thing of all. A Storm Girl who learns to read her own weather instead of fighting it. Part Three: The Long Way Home — A clockmaker's daughter who stops every clock in the workshop after her father dies, and the one unstoppable clock that teaches her to let time run forward. A thirteen-year-old carrying his whole family alone until the moon comes to listen. A merchant who needed fifteen years and a compass pointing home to finally turn around. And the Last Fairy Tale — a story about why stories exist at all, and why we need them most at the end of the day. WHY OLDER CHILDREN NEED DRAMATIC STORIES AT BEDTIME Over the years, I have worked with families whose children lie awake with anxiety, restless minds, and the low hum of worries that seem loudest in the quiet. What I have found — and what the research consistently confirms — is that older children don't need softer stories to sleep. They need stories that acknowledge the complexity of their inner lives, give their active minds something worthy to follow, and arrive at resolution. Stories that are too safe don't satisfy the developmental need for meaning. Older children need real problems, real choices, and the reassurance that comes not from the absence of difficulty, but from the presence of courage. Every tale in this collection ends in peace. But it earns that peace the honest way. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Greg Martins Oji is a practicing pediatrician in Los Angeles County, California, with 37 years of experience and more than 2,000 families guided through childhood and adolescence. His sleep methodology has achieved an 87% success rate within the first week of implementation. He is also the author of Dreamland Adventures Book One: Bedtime Stories That Help Little Ones Sleep , The Big Book of 650 Silly Jokes, Sleep Training Made Simple , and The Complete First Year: Your Baby's Development Day by Day . This book is the perfect gift for: Children aged 8–12 who love fantasy, fairy tales, and adventure Families looking for meaningful read-aloud stories that spark real conversation Parents of children who struggle to wind down at night The first Dreamland Adventures collection is also available for younger children aged 3–8.

The Kids Are All Right: A Memoir

A blisteringly funny, heart-scorching tale of remarkable kids shattered by tragedy and finally brought back together by love."— People Somehow, between their father’s mysterious death, their glamorous soap-opera-star mother’s cancer diagnosis, and a phalanx of lawyers intent on bankruptcy proceedings, the four Welch siblings managed to handle each new heartbreaking misfortune together. All that changed with the death of their mother. While nineteen-year-old Amanda was legally on her own, the three younger siblings–Liz, sixteen; Dan, fourteen; and Diana, eight–were each dispatched to a different set of family friends. Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, Amanda headed for college in New York City and immersed herself in an ’80s world of alternative music and drugs. Liz, living with the couple for whom she babysat, followed in Amanda’s footsteps until high school graduation when she took a job in Norway as a nanny. Mischievous, rebellious Dan, bounced from guardian to boarding school and back again, getting deeper into trouble and drugs.

The kids are not only all right; they’re back together. Read more

What They Did to the Kid

"What They Did to the Kid" is a memoir spinning as a comic novel for general-fiction readers intrigued by boys' school tales, and baby boomers who "survived Catholic school." Ryan O'Hara, coming of age from 14 to 24, is the wise adolescent narrating readers' entry into the secret culture of 1950's altar boys who go to the seminary, meet priests, and must decide their own identities. The novel's interior ticking covers the clock and calendar of boys' emerging consciences and edgy consciousness. "The San Francisco Chronicle" says, "Jack Fritscher reads gloriously." Strong characters and snappy dialog propel the character-driven plot of male-dominant pecking order. At Misericordia Seminary (aptly nicknamed "Misery"), Ryan O'Hara exposes his own story. He's trapped for oxygen-with 500 other boys-by the imperial Rector Karg, the disciplinarian Father Gunn "of the USMC," the tart Father Polistina, and the rebel-priest Chris Dryden "who knows Fellini and JFK." The storytelling Irish-American author gives each ensemble character-hero or villain, student or priest, man or woman-a rich back story. Black civil rights of the 60's as well as three interesting women characters open this tale out of the suffocating seminary and on to the hot streets of Chicago's South Side and Old Town. The compelling psychological drama hinges on the very source and aspirations of priestly vocation versus self-esteem. "Is God calling me-and what about chastity? Or is it just the 'Bali Hai' of blind ambition and social climbing-and what about sex?" Fritscher makes deeper than usual sense of soulful coming-of-age material. The hearty supply of boarding school episodes cumulatively reveals the dueling dynamic between the boyish protagonist, Ryan O'Hara, and the callous ambition of the handsome bully, Tank Rimsky, as they fight toward the finish line of "manly men's" ordination to the priesthood. "The hardest thing to be in America today is a man." The novel is based on an under-reported story: the Catholic Church recruited 200,000 boys into seminaries in the 1950's. Only 20,000 were ordained. "Kid" details, in a nostalgic and not unkind take what happened to the missing 180,000 boys and the women and men in their families. Daring to step inside Catholic culture, without being parochial, this American story reveals the 1950's roots of 21st-century "recovering Catholic" panic and angst. The millions of post-Catholic baby boomers who have exited the Church will compare notes and laugh knowingly at the dead-on characterizations. Fashionably anti-Catholic campers will say, "but, of course!" Readers might catalog "Kid" in the genre of "Young Torless, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," and "Lord of the Flies." Before now, no one of the surviving 180,000 ex-seminarians has dared reveal this insider confession on the secret milieu of the Catholic education of priests. From interviews with more than a hundred former seminarians, Jack Fritscher uniquely stages their true story arcs with wit, verve, and comedy. "What They Did to the Kid" is the fourth novel from Jack Fritscher whose twelve books have sold more than 100,000 copies. Jack Fritscher is a graduate of the prestigious Pontifical College Josephinum, a Roman Catholic seminary, located in Columbus, Ohio, and directly subject to the Vatican in Rome. He received his doctorate in American Literature from Loyola University, Chicago. Read more

Little Wizard Stories of Oz

Two great beasts, a lion and a tiger, shared guard duties at the throne of beloved Queen Ozma. "You have enough to eat, I'm sure!" said the Cowardly Lion. "Enough, perhaps -- but not the kind of food I long for," answered the Hungry Tiger. "What I'm hungry for is fat babies. I have a great desire to eat a few fat babies. Then, perhaps, the people of Oz would fear me and I'd become more important!" "True," agreed the Lion. "It would stir up quite a rumpus if you ate but one fat baby. As for myself, if I should spring upon a man and make chop suey of him, there would be wild excitement in the Emerald City and the people would fall upon their knees and beg me for mercy. That, in my opinion, would render me of considerable importance!" The great beasts looked at one another -- and began their plans. L. Frank Baum wrote some of the most imaginative and delightful novels of all time in his marvelous series about the magical kingdom of Oz. In Little Wizard Stories of Oz , Baum revisits some of his most charming characters in a half-dozen shorter tales -- "The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger," "Little Dorothy and Toto," "Tiktok and the Nome King," "Ozma and the Little Wizard," "Jack Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse," and "The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman."

The Middle School Rules of Charles Tillman

Over a dozen seasons, Charles Tillman established himself as the greatest cornerback in the storied history of the Chicago Bears. A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Tillman has been distinguished as one of the NFL's most opportunistic defensive backs, intercepting 36 passes and forcing 42 fumbles - the most in the league since his rookie year in 2003. In fact, he popularized the ''Peanut Punch'', a nod to his childhood nickname and a tribute to his knack for jarring a football from the grasp of an offensive player. But even more than his acclaim on the field, Tillman is highly regarded off the field. With his father serving in the United States Army, Tillman attended 11 different schools domestically and internationally. Lightly recruited out of Copperas Cove High School in Texas, Tillman was offered a single Division 1-A scholarship, but he shined at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and was selected by the Bears in the second round of the NFL Draft. In 2005, Tillman and his wife Jackie established the Cornerstone Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides resources and opportunities to children in need. Tillman was a 2012 finalist for the NFL Players Association's Byron White Man of the Year award, and he was the 2013 winner of the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year award, which ''recognizes a player's off-the-field community service as well as his playing excellence... The Middle School Rules of Charles Tillman will feature the defining childhood stories of a young, well-traveled boy nicknamed ''Peanut'', who had to deal with racism, adapt to constant relocation, and endure the divorce of his parents. Inspired by faith and family, Tillman persevered and carved out an indelible mark both on and off the field. Read more

You with the Sad Eyes: A Memoir

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Funny, furious, and profane." — The New York Times “Not your typical celebrity memoir.” —Jimmy Kimmel Unflinchingly honest and darkly funny, You with the Sad Eyes unveils a side of Christina Applegate we’ve never seen, forever cementing her formidable and iconoclastic legacy. Christina Applegate came of age on sets and stages, expected to be on time, with lines learned, ready for lights-camera-action. What started as a financial necessity soon became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 70s and 80s. She rocketed to stardom on the sitcom Married...with Children and went on to captivate audiences in classics like Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead…, Anchorman , and Dead to Me in her five-decade long career. Then it all stopped. A Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis in 2021 confined her to a king-sized bed and the company of memories she’d rather forget: memories of the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that stalked her meteoric rise, of her mother’s fight against addiction and abuse after her father left, and of the tax life had taken on her body and mind that was suddenly coming due. Now, at her most intimate and vulnerable, she unveils a story not even those closest to her fully know. She returns to the diaries she kept her whole life, finding the pain matched by joy, the losses mitigated by the extraordinary, and the weight of life lifted by her unrelenting belief that something greater lay ahead. No longer willing to lock herself away and with the perspective only our own mortality can bring, she knew it was imperative to tell it all. You with the Sad Eyes presents a remarkable woman and her legacy. In her own words, “I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That’s why I’m doing this. You with the Sad Eyes won’t be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humor and grief of life. So here I am. Real me. Lots to say.” Read more

The Tiny Seed

In autumn, a strong wind blows flower seeds high in the air and carries them far across the land. One by one, many of the seeds are lost -- burned by the sun, fallen into the ocean, eaten by a bird. But some survive the long winter and, come spring, sprout into plants, facing new dangers -- trampled by playing children, picked as a gift for a friend. Soon only the tiniest seed remains, growing into a giant flower and, when autumn returns, sending its own seeds into the wind to start the process over again.Eric Carle's eloquent text and brilliant collages turn the simple life cycle of a plant into an exciting story, a nature lesson, and an inspiring message of the importance of perseverance.
