Starfish Sagas, Stories of Hope - By Joan Moses. The book recounts how hope, flexibility, and individual caring, ignite the spirits in students. As a certified paraprofessional in special education, I went to work with a smile on my face every day, recharged by my students’ enthusiasm and challenges. I write about the students who struggled with behaviors and academic concepts, children with physical, mental, learning and/or organizational issues. I tried to connect with the God-given spirit in each child and relate to the interests and stimulate the mind of each to help the child to direct his or her energies to produce positive experiences. I include various tools such as, creative approaches, practical ideas, and projects to prod the student’s self-awareness, improve behaviors, and provide opportunity for student success.
Little Shicken and the Boubecks - By Joan Moses. A biography of Berneice Barnes Quinn’s young life in Minnesota. This collection of vignettes chronicles the struggles of a girl coming of age from 1911 to 1932, including World War I and the early Great Depression. A creative, independent, often stubborn, yet winsome girl with a black eye-patch over her right eye and a floppy bow atop her wispy brown hair, she leads the reader through the labyrinth of growing up.
“I pulled my face out of the water, ‘Daddy! Help me!’ Kicking and thrashing I tried to get up, but Cousin Irene’s hand pushed my head under again. I thought I opened my eyes and saw her smile.” Three and a half year old Berneice believed she was more trouble than her younger brothers, but did she deserve to be drowned?
Anecdotes of childhood antics laced with humor, ingenuity, and nostalgia including historic references such as child labor, food rationing, women working, employer discrimination, childbirth in the home, and more. Does she achieve her big dream of being a schoolteacher, or does fate set her on a different path? St. Paul history, recipes, maps, and ink illustrations embracing family photos are included.
