Requests:  0 Summary:  "Needed now more than ever: a guide that includes 500 diverse contemporary fiction and memoir recommendations for preteens and teens with the goal of inspiring greater empathy for themselves, their peers, and the world around them. As young people are diagnosed with anxiety and depression in increasing numbers, or dealing with other issues that can isolate them from family and friends-such as bullying, learning disabilities, racism, or homophobia-characters in books can help them feel less alone. And just as important, reading books that feature a diverse range of real-life topics helps generate openness, empathy, and compassion in all kids. Better with Books is a valuable resource for parents, teachers, librarians, therapists, and all caregivers who recognize the power of literature to improve young readers' lives. Each chapter explores a particular issue affecting preteens and teens today and includes a list of recommended related books-all published within the last decade. Recommendations are grouped by age: those appropriate for middle-grade readers and those for teens. Reading lists are organized around: Adoption and foster care Body image Immigration Learning challenges LGBTQIA+ youth Mental health Nature and environmentalism Physical disability Poverty and homelessness Race and ethnicity Religion and spirituality"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 152.41 Ha Parenting Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 152.41   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 152.41 Ha   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 152.41 Hi   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 152.41 Ha   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 152.41 Ha   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 152.41 Ha   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
