An approachable, empowering guide to investing that helps you level the financial playing field, move toward financial independence, and grow your money, from one of the internet's favorite personal finance educators

In her cookbook, Valerie Bertinelli shares her journey to self-acceptance and embracing indulgence in food and life. She encourages readers to let go of restrictive dieting and enjoy the pleasure of cooking and eating. The book features a variety of recipes, from comforting classics to elegant dishes, and includes essays on savoring life's moments. It's a reminder that indulging can be a part of a healthy and fulfilling life.

Rachel is still reeling from the news that Earth is secretly under attack by parasitic aliens, the Yeerks. Now she and her friends are the planet's only defense -- five kids who, purely by chance, stumbled onto a downed spacecraft and were given the power to morph into any animals they touch. The team's best lead is their assistant principal, Mr. Chapman, who is the human host to a high-ranking Yeerk official. It's not much, but Rachel's always been a daredevil, and she volunteers to infiltrate Chapman's home. Rachel is tough. She's fearless. But what she finds inside may be more than even she can handle.

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten 

 

Keeping Georgia’s public library shelves stocked with books and other resources is crucial in getting young children ready to read. 

We’ve partnered with libraries to encourage parents to read 1,000 books with their children before age 5. This program is designed to be a fun and easy way to help your child develop pre-reading skills vital to kindergarten readiness.

Research shows a striking correlation between pre-reading skills and later academic success reaching into high school and beyond.

Parents and caregivers are a child’s first and best teacher. By sharing stories at home, you can give your child a valuable gift – a sense of confidence and a love for books and reading that can last a lifetime.
