Poppy, the adorable, persistent, dreaming-big pig, has a new adventure in store for her: the World Games ice-skating championship in Paris! Poppy is nervous about meeting so many new people in a new place. But, ever courageous and supported by her family (Emma, too!), Poppy embarks upon this exciting adventure head-on.

Parents who are also educational researchers have access to a domain that is highly complex and not always available to other scholars. In this book, parent-researchers provide theoretical and practical insights into children’s learning in the home and at school. Readers are given a window into learning in the home context and how all family members organize or engage in that learning. Working on two levels, the book develops scholarly discussions about learning in the home (how is it organized, who the participants are, and what children are learning), and it illustrates the impacts that outside institutions, in particular schools, have on families It is unique in showcasing parent-research as a type of research paradigm with particular aspects and challenges. Both teachers and researchers can learn from these studies as they show the impact that schooling has on families and how institutional discourses and beliefs can both positively and negatively affect the dynamics of any family.

Do you have questions about Death and Dying? Why Are We Here? What is Time? Are there Angels? If so, I feel this book may help you find some of those answers. After an amazing healing when I was young, I began my quest to answer these and all of the ‘Big’ questions, in simpler non-scientific terms. After my humble beginnings in Toronto, I had many ‘message’ dreams guiding and protecting me through an adventurous life, working in Television broadcasting as singer, Jean Price, and later after marriage, behind the scenes in TV production as Jean Claridge (and also as an artist and photographer.) I had the pleasure of working on National News, The Nature of Things, Sports Specials such as The 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, Adrienne Clarkson Presents and many, many other wonderful TV shows. I mention some of them in this book.
