BOOK DESCRIPTION
Discover how beloved author and activist Jodee Blanco
ignited a grassroots movement in the nation’s schools to
fight against bullying in this timely update of the seminal
classic Please Stop Laughing at Me.
In this timely update of the seminal classic, author and activist
Jodee Blanco reveals how she simply set out to share her story
—and ended up igniting a grassroots movement in the nation’s
schools. The first survivor of school bullying to look back on those
experiences as an adult, Jodee brings you up to speed on her life
and work since the book’s initial release with a new chapter,
all-new Letter to My Readers, and Reader’s Guide. She also
offers the latest information on digital and cyberbullying, the Adult
Survivor of Peer Abuse, her in-school antibullying program, INJJA
(It’s NOT Just Joking Around!™), and provides discussion
questions for schools.
While other children were daydreaming about dances, first
kisses, and college, Jodee Blanco was trying to figure out how to
go from homeroom to study hall without being taunted or spit
upon as she walked through the halls.
This powerful, unforgettable memoir chronicles how one child
was shunned—and even physically abused—by her classmates
from elementary school through high school. It is an unflinching
look at what it means to be the outcast, how even the most loving
parents can get it all wrong, why schools are often unable to
prevent disaster, and how bullying has been misunderstood and
mishandled by the mental health community.
You will be shocked, moved, and ultimately inspired by this
harrowing tale of survival against insurmountable odds. This vivid
story will open your eyes to the harsh realities and long-term
consequences of bullying—and how all of us can make a
difference in the lives of teens today.
Survivor turned activist Jodee Blanco is the author of four books
on bullying, including Bullied Kids Speak Out and the
seminal New York Times bestseller Please Stop Laughing at Me,
currently required reading in middle and high schools across the
country. She travels to schools, sharing her story to save lives,
and has spoken to over half a million people worldwide.
CBS Evening News and USA TODAY have featured her story,

Take care of yourself as you care for others with this
accessible, easy-to-follow self-care guide to relax and
rejuvenate.
It’s been said that there are only four kinds of people in the world:
those who have been caregivers, those who are currently
caregivers, those who will become caregivers, and those who will
need caregivers. Chances are you or someone you know is
taking care of a loved one at home. If you do, you also know that
caregiving—however fulfilling—is also hard on the caregiver’s
mental and physical health. Self-care is vital to caregivers
maintaining stamina and a positive outlook for both themselves
and the people they care for. But being so busy caring for others
can make it hard to find time for yourself.
In Self-Care for Caregivers, you’ll find short, easy-to-read—and
often easy-to-do—ways to replenish your mind, body, and spirit,
including:
-Giving yourself a high-five in the mirror on days when you need
extra encouragement
-Remembering to HALT to check if you’re hungry, angry, lonely,
or tired
-Keeping a care package for emergency responders by the door
to thank them for their hard work
-And much more!
Full of practical advice and reminders to have a quick snack, call
a friend, create a sanctuary, write in a journal, and more ways to
take care yourself—plus resources for caregiving—this book will
go a long way towards making your caregiving experience a
happier and more healthful one for you and the people you care
for.
Susanne White is the creator of Caregiver Warrior, where she
offers advice, helpful tips, and strategies for caregivers
everywhere. Based on her own experiences, strength, and hope
as a caregiver, her goal is to help caregivers thrive during their

BOOK DESCRIPTION
A fun and comprehensive guide to learning everything you
need to know about each sun sign, from predicting your
perfect game night to identifying your dream pet—perfect
for any and all astrology fans!
Your sun sign can reveal a lot about you—your strengths and
weaknesses, compatibility, basic personality traits, and so much
more. But it can also reveal which ice cream flavor you like best,
which TV show is perfect for you, and whether you’re a good
companion for a hiking trip. You know…the important things in
life!
In Who Do the Stars Say You Are?, you’ll learn to better
understand yourself and your friends according to your
astrological signs. You’ll cover topics such as which late-night
snack is right for you, which classic 90s pop song perfectly
describes your personality, and how to spot a Scorpio simply by
looking at their shoes. Do you always fall asleep at the beginning
of the movie and wake up halfway through with absolutely no idea
what’s going on? You’re probably a Pisces. That friend who
always orders the sweetest, most decadent desserts, even after
a big fancy dinner? They might be a Taurus. And if you fall a little
bit in love with every single pug you see, you’re definitely a Leo!
Whether you turn to this book for guidance or a laugh with friends
as you compare your signs, it’s time to find out the truth about
who the stars say you really are!
Growing up in a house full of dogs, cats, and one Betta fish that
lived for over five years, Syd Robinson has always had a deep
love for animals. So much so that she eventually became one
of BuzzFeed’s top animal writers, constantly living in the wild
world of internet pets! When she’s not working on a
new BuzzFeed post, Syd draws, buys too many plants, and
writes music under the name Ghostcamp. She currently lives in
Manhattan with her naughty pug, Phoebe.
