A beautiful story of taking chances and unexpected love. At thirty-five, single mom Emily Wyatt's world revolves around her autistic son, Jude. Emily rarely dreams of anything more than a school day without tears or dinners beyond mac and cheese. Life is small, routine, and, to be honest, boring. But, on Jude's tenth birthday, Emily takes a risk. She and Jude will have a day out of their humdrum life and try something new—a private flight over the Cascade mountains in a small plane. Planes, palindromes, prime numbers, and Pokemon are Jude's absolute favorite things, and Emily is determined to make his double-digit birthday special. She's done so much research that everything has to go right. However, twenty-eight-year-old Dino Durante is not the pilot Emily booked. Dino gave up being a taxi pilot a couple of years ago to concentrate on his new business, A business that’s become so successful that Dino hardly has a moment to breathe. That's why he's looking forward to a day above the clouds, just him and his Irish Wolfhound, Willie. Flying solo is the perfect way to unwind. Flying a snotty woman and her poorly-behaved son is the opposite. But when Dino's old friend, the owner of Top Spot Tours, begs him for a favor, Dino can't bring himself to say no. Oh well, what's the worst that could happen? Disaster. The plane crashes in a remote area of Mt. Ranier's wilderness, leaving Dino injured, Jude in shock, and Emily nowhere to be found. ♥Heart-warming and unputdownable♥ ♥One May Day will remind you that love can find us when we open our hearts.♥ Readers of Jodi Picoult and Colleen Hoover will love this book!
The handbook is composed of chapters by authors who discuss the important features of particular types of toys, provide information related to the developmental importance of this type of toy, discuss social and cultural issues engendered by play with such toys, and review the available research on the characteristics and potential impact on children’s developmental progress of toys of that type. Both traditional toys and technological toys are discussed. The handbook is expected to serve both as a reference for educators, parents, toy designers, and other interested readers, and as a catalyst for further research and ongoing toy development. Its purpose includes helping readers to gain knowledge that enables them to more fully appreciate the value of children’s toy play, find out more about the favorite toys they had in childhood and relive those satisfying play experiences, and learn how to foster the learning, physical development, and social-emotional growth that comes from such toy play.
