"Every child in the world has a birthday. But how children celebrate this occasion depends on where they live. In this latest addition to the Around the World series, award-winning author Margriet Ruurs explores the fascinating ways that children experience birthdays. You'll meet fourteen kids from different countries, each celebrating a birthday according to their local traditions. Bram from Belgium never gets to sleep in on his birthday - his family wakes him up by clanging pots and pans. For Ninoshka in India, it's important to give thanks to the Hindu gods and share sweets with her classmates. And some kids don't celebrate their birthdays at all. Instead, Phúc Khang in Vietnam celebrates Tet, when everyone in the country turns one year older. A world map that pinpoints the countries in the book, a Note to Parents and Teachers with interactive activities and a glossary of foreign words and phrases help to enrich the reading experience. Based on interviews with real people from each country, Birthdays Around the World is an invitation to experience a different culture, think about your own birthday celebrations and even learn how to say "Happy Birthday" in another language (like Hawaiian: "Hau oli la hanau" [ho-O-lee LA HA-now])!"--

It's not easy being an introverted kid in an extroverted town. Hunter Grayson is a 14-year-old boy who enjoys doing things by himself and hates being the center of attention. He has always felt different from his outgoing family and his chatty classmates, but he doesn't understand why. Now he's about to enter high school and he's terrified. Lucky for him, he quickly befriends Ariana, an adventurous girl with confidence to spare, and Ty, a rising football star with a kind soul and a warm smile. Together, they will embark on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance as they navigate the complicated waters of adolescence. Throughout his freshman year, Hunter will learn to overcome his self-esteem issues and embrace his introversion. Instead of changing, like everyone tells him to do, Hunter will learn that there's nothing wrong with being the quiet, reflective kid who likes spending time by himself. Introverted Me is a coming-of-age story about acceptance, friendship, and self-love. This is a book for anyone who has ever felt like there's something wrong with them because of their quiet nature and who feel like they have to change in order to fit in and please those around them.
