Review Matilda (Spanish Language) / Alfaguara:

Matidlda es genial. Sin haver cumplido los cinco años ha leído ya a numerosos autores. Cuando llega al colegío se encuentra con la terrible señorita Trunchbull. The success of the recent movie version should encourage kids to read the hilarious, thought-provoking original novel. Matilda is a genius who not only has to deal with loud, obnoxious, idiot parents who scapegoat her for everything but with "the Trunchbull"! "The Trunchbull" is actually Miss Trunchbull the ex-Olympic hammer-thrower, Head Mistress of Matilda's school who has terrorized generations of students and teachers. When "the Trunchbull" goes after Miss Honey, the one teacher, the one person, who supports and believes in Matilda, our heroine decides it's time to fight back. Her parents and "the Trunchbull" don't stand a chance! Ages 7-12.

Review Lion Pub  / The Shore Beyond Creator: Alison Jay
Publication date: 2000-06

Review The Shore Beyond / Lion Pub:

Can-do girls. Inquisitive girls. Despite their long braids and flowing skirts. Clara and her friend Miriam need to know what happens on the other side of the lake where Clara's father rows every morning. And what goes on down river. And what happens beyond the ocean's breakers. And, finally, how to reach the golden point where gleaming ocean and sun-brushed sky meet. Restless to discover what lies just out-of-reach, Clara finally gets to co-pilot her father's ferry boat to the distant shore. Too hard work and too boring a job, she pronounces when she realizes her first wish. Undeterred by choppy waters and miles of swirling river, Clara is ready for more adventure, drawn by greater unknowns. [+]
Even when Miriam finds a new home-and satisfaction-Clara wants to go on, to a place that will make my spirit dance. She turns to an old sailor who has been everywhere. He doesn't teach her how to row, as her father did, or how to make her own boat, as Miriam did. But he tells her what to watch for and how to travel. Clara's urgent longing finds a match in the sailor's mysterious, but knowing, intrigue. Soft paintings throughout are as full of wonder as the text. They capture the pastoral and the world of watery edges, the secure and the vastly unknown beyond.

Review Understanding Cultural Identity in Intervention and Assessment (Multicultural Aspects of Counseling And Psychotherapy) / Sage Publications, Inc:

How can quality mental health care be provided for multicultural populations? This volume explores this question by focusing on mental health services in the United States for a variety of populations, including African Americans, Native Americans and Chinese Americans. Richard H Dana focuses first on the societal context for mental health services in the US, and the limitations of these services for multicultural populations. He then documents the cultural competences needed by practitioners if they are to provide adequate, credible and potentially beneficial services. Finally, he presents a model for effective culture-specific services that emphasizes understanding of cultural and racial identity.
