Lisa Damour is a wonderful child psychologist who specializes in girls, but much of what she has to say is useful for both
genders. She does speaking engagements, but just following her column and reading her books is very helpful. Her advice is
measured and healthy.
The genre novel in verse is really growing in popularity. I was first introduced to it by Thanha Lai, who left Saigon as a child
and her book, Inside Out and Back Again, is a fictionalized version of what her journey here was like.
