I love Liams story because of the simple, poetic wording and clever illustrations used to educate children and adults on the challenging behaviors of a child with autism due to their inability to communicate. Stephanie Abreu, M.S., CCC-SLP This book has the making of a great introductory tool to inform and raise awareness about the significance Autism plays in a childs ability to socialize and the severe challenges a child faces when the signs are ignored. Liams story becomes our story because it makes his silence a physical experience touching the heart of the unaware, where the Heart is made to roar in advocacy. Jannis B. Winstead, PT., DPT ,PTA, M.Div As a parent of a 4 year old boy who has Autism, I found this book Liams Life with Autism, Sensory Overload a must read for children and adults. This book helps you understand what some children with Autism are going through and feeling. Liams Life with Autism Sensory Overload, just awesome. Rosalyn Lee Saintcyr

Each time Liam eats, his tummy gets fuller and fuller... and fuller... until Liam's tummy starts to stretch' Successful toilet training is a time of celebration for both parents and child. It marks the end of dirty diapers and a forward step in the development of a child. Fraught with both stress and triumph, the period of toilet training can take from days to months. For a typical child, learning to gain control over the body's internal stimuli can be at best challenging.

Liam Goes Poo in the Toilet illustrates the relationship between eating and excreting. It provides visual instructions on how to 'relax and push'. After much fanfare, Liam finally masters going `poo' in the toilet, and both he and Mum bask in the glory of a job well done.

The floor around her was covered with cornmeal "Lauren Therese!" I screamed. I had left a container of cornmeal at about the eye level of a little girl who was being encouraged to run her hands through a bucket of rice just four hours earlier [in therapy]. "Well, I see you found the cornmeal," I changed my tone and poured the yellow sandy stuff over my fingers so that it rained down in front of her face. Lauren squinted at the yellow coming down, lifted her hand so she could feel it through her fingers too, and laughed. I pulled her to her feet and we danced the messiest but most memorable dance I've ever had with my daughter, or anyone, to date. So goes the event that gave life to a book title. Based on years of hands-on experience, Dancing in Cornmeal is a parent's story, an educational manual and an inspirational collection of essays that will help you see through the eyes of a child with autism and into the hearts of the people who love her.

An Architectural Record Notable Book A fascinating, thought-provoking journey into our built environment Modern humans are an indoor species. We spend 90 percent of our time inside, shuttling between homes and offices, schools and stores, restaurants and gyms. And yet, in many ways, the indoor world remains unexplored territory. For all the time we spend inside buildings, we rarely stop to consider: How do these spaces affect our mental and physical well-being? Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors? Our productivity, performance, and relationships? In this wide-ranging, character-driven book, science journalist Emily Anthes takes us on an adventure into the buildings in which we spend our days, exploring the profound, and sometimes unexpected, ways that they shape our lives. Drawing on cutting-edge research, she probes the pain-killing power of a well-placed window and examines how the right office layout can expand our social networks. She investigates how room temperature regulates our cognitive performance, how the microbes hiding in our homes influence our immune systems, and how cafeteria design affects what—and how much—we eat. Along the way, Anthes takes readers into an operating room designed to minimize medical errors, a school designed to boost students’ physical fitness, and a prison designed to support inmates’ psychological needs. And she previews the homes of the future, from the high-tech houses that could monitor our health to the 3D-printed structures that might allow us to live on the Moon. The Great Indoors provides a fresh perspective on our most familiar surroundings and a new understanding of the power of architecture and design. It's an argument for thoughtful interventions into the built environment and a story about how to build a better world—one room at a time.
