Nakaya, a high school sophomore and ice hockey player, has just lost his mother and ends up moving in with Shino, his long-lost father. Shino's anime voice acting job recently ended, so he finds work on boys' love radio dramas to make ends meet. He gets paired up with the ever-cool Tenryu, and the two bond while another co-worker hits on Shino. Meanwhile, Nakaya is forced to consider dropping out of school, but pressure to get serious about ice hockey is building up! This new, awkward father-son duo must learn how to get along and live together in spite of all odds...and most important, that when you need to shout, you shout out loud!

After having a day in which nothing is right, tired Bella cuddles with her mother and talks about having a more cheerful day tomorrow.

Lacey Walker needs to stop talking so she can learn to listen.

Decibella is a loud talker. A really loud talker. She’s so loud, she’s hurting ears, startling wait staff, disrupting classmates, and annoying moviegoers. She doesn’t realize different environments and situations sometimes demand a softer, quieter voice. That is until a caring teacher introduces her to the silly-sounding word “Slurpadoodle” and the five volumes of voice (Whisper, 6-inch, Table Talk, Strong Speaker, and Outside).

Rhyming text depicts the chaos caused by shouting at the zoo.

The real-life, classic story of a dyslexic girl and the teacher who would not let her fail. A perfect gift for teachers and for reading students of any age. Patricia Polacco is now one of America's most loved children's book creators, but once upon a time, she was a little girl named Trisha starting school. Trisha could paint and draw beautifully, but when she looked at words on a page, all she could see was jumble. It took a very special teacher to recognize little Trisha's dyslexia: Mr. Falker, who encouraged her to overcome her reading disability. Patricia Polacco will never forget him, and neither will we. This inspiring story will make a beautiful gift for the special child who needs encouragement, or any special teacher who has made a difference in the child's life.
