Bøger af Jean Edwards

This revised edition is from a 149 - page book which was originally printed in 1983. The stories and lesson plans written then are still pertinent to today's trauma with battered children. Since the enactment in 1974 of federal laws covering child abuse, the reported increase in the number of these cases has led many to speak of child abuse as epidemic in America. One in seven children is reported to be the victim of child abuse. Who are the abusers? What do I do as a professional when I suspect child abuse? This book is both a personal story of a young woman who was the victim of physical, emotional and sexual abuse from her mother and several other survivors; it is also a source book for teachers and professionals who deal daily with the problem. This book contains reporting resources, curriculum ideas for teachers, and public awareness materials.

Jean Edwards, a Maine native whose ancestry ties her to coastal Maine, began writing poetry as a child. This collection embodies her appreciation of the ocean, rivers, islands and all those who live and work on the Maine coast or sail the seas. Some of these poems are serious, some playful, while others express dreams, thoughts and yearnings. Her recent historical novel, "The Glove," traced the life of a Maine girl who grew up on Appleton Ridge and became an actress in New York. It was published in 2005. Of "The Glove", the Camden Herald writes: " Interspersed throughout the story are Edwards' own poems, which add poignancy and texture to the narrative."

This book of poetry and the accompanying photographs are of Maine wildflowers, written to provide the reader with a knowledge and appreciation of all the blossoming plants in this state that burst forth joyously following long cold winter months.

Leander Salamander lived among the rocks that surrounded a small pond. He had made a cozy home of grass and mud under the rocks and had a pleasant life. He thought that something was missing in his life, but he didn't know what it was. He had good friends, Sammy Snake and Myrtle Turtle, so he was never lonely. He buried himself deep in the mud under his nest during the winter months and waited there for the warming rays of sun to announce that spring had arrived.
