Book excerpt: Billy was a smart boy, but he felt frustrated since it was difficult to move his lips, jaw, and tongue, to clearly say the words in his head. This is a story about how Billy found his words with the help of his speech-language pathologist and his family. With hard work and each small step, Billy became happier and gained confidence when talking to his family and friends. Written for ages 2-4, Billy's story is a relatable journey for the youngest children with a diagnosis of childhood apraxia of speech. Childhood apraxia of speech is a type of speech sound disorder characterized by specific difficulty programming the correct oral motor movements for the production of speech sounds. Speech-language pathologists may use this book as a companion to treatment to illustrate the family's contribution outside of treatment. Examples are provided of how caregivers can incorporate practice into their daily routines and celebrate every successful sound and word.

Book excerpt: PUSH continues to break new ground with this remarkable poetry memoir of growing up, coming out, and exploring love.This is a memoir that is lived in moments. The moments you know - when you see your parents' marriage dissolving, when you realize you're a boy who likes boys, when you speak the truth and don't know if it will be heard. The moments you don't recognize until later - when you leave things unsaid (even to yourself), when you feel your boyfriend letting go, when you give up on love. And the moment you get love back. In an amazing narrative of poems, Billy Merrell tells an ordinary story in an extraordinary way.

Book excerpt: Let's Get Talking is a speech-language therapy companion guide for parents of children diagnosed with an expressive language delay or disorder, or childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Carry-over of skills from therapy to the home environment increases the rate of success as your child is learning to produce their first words. Use the verbal and tactile cues, as well as visual signs and prompts described to help your child meet their next achievable step in functional communication, and reduce communicative frustration. Bright illustrations make this helpful guide easy to share with your child. * The step-by-step guide for producing words is loosely based on the evidence-based method of DTTC (Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing). This method is effective for children with a CAS diagnosis, however the method can also be helpful for delayed talkers without CAS. * 14 functional first words (e.g., me, no, up, stop, hi, help, eat) * 12 cut-out flash cards for practice on-the-go. Please visit www.mehreenkakwan.com for an extended book preview.Disclaimer: This book is intended for use in conjunction with speech-language therapy, and in light of your speech language pathologist's treatment plan. Rate of progress will depend on the severity and complexity of your child's receptive and/or expressive language diagnosis.

Book excerpt: The all-access biography and unprecedented look at the life, career, and legacy of a pint-sized kid from Long Island who became a music legend. “A funny, revealing, and poignant look at [Billy] Joel’s long career.”—Boston Globe Exhibiting unparalleled intimate knowledge, Schruers chronicles Joel’s rise to the top of the charts, from his working-class origins in Levittown and early days spent in boxing rings and sweaty clubs to his monumental success in the seventies and eighties. He also explores Joel’s creative transformation in the nineties, his dream performance with Paul McCartney at Shea Stadium in 2008, and beyond. Along the way, Schruers reveals the stories behind all the key events and relationships—including Joel’s high-profile marriages and legal battles—that defined his path to stardom and inspired his signature songs, such as “Piano Man,” “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant,” “New York State of Mind,” and “She’s Always a Woman.” Throughout, he captures the spirit of a restless artist determined to break through by sharing, in his deeply personal lyrics, the dreams and heartbreaks of suburban American life. Comprehensive, vibrantly written, and filled with Joel’s memories and reflections—as well as those of the family, friends, and band members who have formed his inner circle, including Christie Brinkley, Alexa Ray Joel, Jon Small, and Steve Cohen—this is the definitive account of a beloved rock star’s epic American journey.

Book excerpt: It all started in a small town on the east coast. I grew up in the projects. It was a challenge not to get involved in the negative activity going on around me, because I had dreams of being a professional baseball player. But there came a turning point in my life where I chose the wrong path. By not being focused on my goals, I took a liking to what I was seeing on the block. I saw all the nice cars and women the drug dealers had, and it quickly pulled me into the drug game. As time went on, I had a new goal, which was to become one of the biggest drug dealers there was and to have my own block. But all that came to an end when I drew my final straw with the law. Although I'd gotten in trouble many times before, I never would have thought a judge would've saw fit to give me a second chance ...
