Born as a ward of the state of Maine, the child of an unmarried Yankee blueblood mother and an unknown black father, Victoria Rowell beat the odds. The Women Who Raised Me is the remarkable story of her rise out of the foster care system to attain the American Dream--and of the unlikely series of women who lifted, motivated, and inspired her along the way.From Agatha Armstead--a black Bostonian who was Victoria's longest-term foster mother and first noticed her spark of creativity and talent--to Esther Brooks, a Paris-trained prima ballerina who would become her first mentor at the Cambridge School of Ballet--The Women Who Raised Me is a loving, vivid portrait of all the women who would help Victoria transition out of foster care and into New York City's wild worlds of ballet, acting, and adulthood. Though Victoria would go on to become an accomplished television and film star, she still carried the burden of loneliness and anxiety, particularly common to those \"orphans of the living\" who are never adopted. Vividly recalled and candidly told, her story is transfixing, redemptive, heartbreaking, and, ultimately, inspiring.

Scripture writing plans are incredibly simple, yet incredibly effective for helping us read, interpret and absorb the Word of God. Rather than simply letting our eyes pass over a verse and perhaps miss its full meaning, writing Scripture down helps us absorb each word and really think through what the passage before us is saying.Each day in November you'll have the opportunity to write down a verse. We suggest using a journal where you can add any additional mediations or prayers that the verse brings to mind.Click here to download the November Scripture Writing Guide!

About the Book Afamily wedding means lots of new things for Lauren: an itchy flower-girl dress, bizarre customs, and strange, new family members...who might just make it allworthwhile. The second book in the Slug DaysStories, now in paperback Book Synopsis Afamily wedding means lots of new things for Lauren: an itchy flower-girl dress, bizarre customs, and strange, new family members...who might just make it allworthwhile. The second book in the Slug DaysStories, now in paperback Review Quotes Praise for Penguin Days 2022 Chocolate Lily Award shortlist 2020 Bank Street Best Book selection 2019 CCBC Best Books for Kids & Teens selection 2019 Resource Links "Recent Canadian Titles too Good to Miss" selection "While she faces particular challenges, Lauren's misadventures (dealing with loud relatives, letting calves out of their stall, throwing up on her flower girl dress) could have happened to any girl. Other kids will enjoy reading about them from her point of view. Bender's winsome pencil drawings with gray shading illustrate the story with sensitivity and humor."-Booklist "As in the first book, Leach gets into Lauren's head, showing how she feels when others laugh at her for reasons she doesn't understand...Linguistic mix-ups play a repeat role, given Lauren's tendency to take things literally; the fact that a 'penguin suit' turns out to be a tuxedo is a major disappointment. But many of the laughs come from Lauren's precise narration: 'It took us two days, eight movies, four chapter books, and three throw-ups to reach Auntie Joss's house.' Black-and-white pencil and digital illustrations should help early-elementary-age readers understand Lauren's emotions and those of the people around her."-The Horn Book Magazine "Lauren relates her prickly feelings in a believably forthright voice that offers readers welcome insight into her perspective....Another fine and enlightening peek into Lauren's unique, often challenging world that displays her differences but highlights the needs she shares with all children: love, acceptance and friendship."-Kirkus Reviews "Honest and descriptive...In Penguin Days, Lauren's family learns to accept one another, no matter how challenging a situation might seem."-Foreword Reviews "Rating E...Penguin Days is a beautifully illustrated, very well written novel for beginning chapter book readers, and is a follow-up to the equally wonderful Slug Days....Lauren's voice is so authentically honest, the storyline is engaging and relevant, and the pace and reading level are perfect for beginning readers to be introduced to the subject of Autism, or to simply embracing differences."-Resource Links "We rated this book: [5/5 stars]...[A]n excellent story told from the point of view of a young girl who has Autism Spectrum Disorder...The infusion of humor makes this very accessible to all children. Charming illustrations by Rebecca Bender complete this sweet story."-Manhattan Book Review "Sara Leach's writing is finely crafted as well as highly readable for the intended age group-no small feat- and Lauren's first-person voice is just as compelling as it was in Leach's previous work....Adding to the hilarious escapades in the text are Rebecca Bender's kid-friendly black-and-white illustrations. Penguin Days would make great independent-reading fare for classroom and school libraries as well as additions to units on identity and difference. Highly Recommended."-CM Magazine "Rating: 5...This is a 'must have' for any library!...I think this is an important book for just about any child; however, if a child is around another child with Autism Spectrum Disorder they would definitely benefit from reading this book. It really explains how these children are feeling and how they process all the events around them. This book is geared for the early elementary level."-Youth Services Book Review "Penguin Days provides learning of the most important kind, and has an added bonus of sweet humor, age appropriate text, and engaging illustrations. It belongs on the shelf of every library for young readers."-New York Journal of Books "Overall, this book would make
