If you want to be trusted Be trustworthy If you mess up Fess up Don't expect others to do for you Do for yourself Your life Your responsibility If you're unhappy with where you are in life Make the changes needed You can't have a positive life With a negative attitude Having a pretty face is all well and good A pretty attitude will get you further Don't force your lifestyle on anyone Embrace individuality Take the time necessary to evaluate yourself as a person Are you someone you'd want in your life? Do you value yourself in a way that others want to value your friendship? Are you someone that follows the lead of what others think, or are you willing to stand alone? Are you someone that demands your friends/family think like you? If they don't agree with you, do you resort to childish behavior and name-calling? Do you belittle others for any reason? Does belittling, bullying, picking on others make you feel superior? Be the good this world needs #adaywithdori #bethefriendyouneed #bethechangeyouwanttosee

What if we just told people what was actually going on in our lives Instead of protecting the ones who treat their families poorly Instead of being embarrassed because of what someone close to us has done Instead of worrying about what society might think Instead of being “hopeful” no one will find out. Just tell it like it is I’ve always been a firm believer in If you don’t want someone to know Don’t do it I don’t mean only talk badly about other people I don’t mean constantly complain about a family member I don’t mean be overly dramatic I don’t mean expect others to pick a side Everywhere you go Big town Small town Work School Family gatherings Kids sports Hobbies There will always be rumors What if when someone asked you how life was You actually told them #adaywithdori #justtellitlikeitis #whyprotectthosethatdontcare #justspeakthetruth

A wife. A husband. A lover. A chance to leave her ordinary life?

The arrival of a glamorous new girl in the sixth grade class severely tests the friendship of two best friends.

A jealous cat really, really, REALLY wants to drive away his young owner's new dog in this playful illustrated chapter book from a two-time Geisel Honor winner. Simon has taken care of his owner, Andy, for many years. He's a good cat. Clean, responsible, and loyal. What more could a boy want? Even when Andy's dad moves out, Simon is certain that Andy doesn't need another pet. So why would Andy's dad adopt a DOG?! To make matters worse, the animal is a rude, rowdy troublemaker. Simon's job is clear: the beast has got to go. He decides to write him a letter. Strongly worded, of course. But when the dog's response sets off an unexpected correspondence, Simon realizes the beast may be here to stay. Can he make room for another pet in Andy's life? This funny and heartwarming collaboration between Geisel Honor and Edgar Award-winning author Dori Hillestad Butler and bestselling illustrator Kevan Atteberry is a tribute to the love of a good pet - and the joy found in new friendship. With nine chapters and adorable full-color illustrations on every spread, the series is perfect for kids transitioning from picture books to chapter books. A Junior Library Guild Selection
