A new baby’s arrival is an occasion of joy,

bewilderment, worry and distress. The

No one likes to feel bored. Often, it simply
happens. How one chooses to respond is the
key. With the help of charming elfin friends,
this delightful book will point out the many
reasons a child may become ‘bored’. With the
support of a reader (older person) this gem
offers useful ways of battling the blahs.
Unlike the monsters hiding under children’s
beds, childhood sexual abuse is a sad reality no

Cancer- the mention of the word strikes
fear in the heart of people of all ages.
