How do you tell a child born on Feb. 29 that his birthday is only on the calendar once every four years? Mommy, Where's My Birthday? is a children's story that answers this prickly question. Jamar is a curious and friendly little boy who asks his mother this question after attending a friend's birthday party. Just when should Jamar celebrate his birthday? His mother's efforts to explain leap years and how our calendar works will be informative for everyone, not just "leap babies." Author Lakisha Cornell's oldest son was born on leap day and she is often asked when her family celebrates it. When Cornell researched the subject, she found there weren't many references that would appeal to children.

"The loss of a first child sends chilling tremors through a young family. The two parents try to rebuild, with visions of creating a large, happy Catholic family. Yet the universe lurches and takes the next oldest child, and yet the next, just a few years apart. Such devastating losses are unimaginable. It is even harder to imagine coping with them in an era of emotional sterility. During the 1950s and '60s there were few outward displays of mourning, no understanding of the five stages of grief, no support groups. The Bernards had to deal with their cataclysmic losses in a way that would be acceptable to the other middle-class families of the time-privately, and silently. Ollie Ollie In Come Free explores the emtional toll unexpressed grief can have on a young child. In the unfiltered voice of a child and adolescent, author Anne Bernard Becker offers a touching insight into her own buried grief, loneliness and survivor's guilt."--Back cover.

Resilience isn’t inherited. It’s a hard-fought skill forged by our ability to pick up the broken pieces of our past and remake them into something new. Meet four-year-old Delicia, a poor but carefree child who is about to have her world shattered. Along with her seven-year-old brother Nile, she is kidnapped from her Los Angeles home by her estranged father and taken to Iraq, a foreign world she has never known.
