I just spent the last 45 minutes tracking down a book I read 8 years ago. Usually I lurk but I have the perfect book for this. It's not necessarily happy but from what I remember of it, it is phenomenal, beautiful, emotional, and powerful.



If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things by Jon McGregor



Edit:

A series that I just started reading again that I loved was So You Want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane. It's a story about magic as if it were science. It can get a little preachy with global warming type things... But otherwise a good series.

Also you might like a book I just picked up from the library.

Uncommon Type: Some Stories by Tom Hanks

This will not be the last time some little shit tries to get your kid to do something she knows is wrong. My kids’ preschool teacher had a great mantra whenever the kids tried the whole”but so-and-so did it too!” Or “Blank asked me to do it.” excuses. The teacher always responded with, “You make your own choices.” and it shut the excuses down.

I have a book recommendation for your rambunctious daughter. Clark the Shark, it goes over appropriate behavior in school and with friends in an adorable way. It’s super cute and I highly recommend it.

There are lots of great picture books to help kids practice identifying and regulating their emotions. You might check out The Feelings Book, Today I Feel Silly, or My Many Colored Days for some good emotional vocabulary. You can also start talking about the different ways we can handle big feelings - you want to emphasize that all feelings are okay, what matters is how we act on them. If he's a fan of Daniel Tiger, I'm sure you know there are some great songs on the show that teach how to handle different emotions, and there are some companion books such as How is Daniel Feeling. You might also check out the "When I Feel..." series (When I Feel Sad, When I Feel Worried, etc). For anger, try Anh's Anger and its sequel Steps and Stones, or When Miles Got Mad. Each of these introduces different coping skills he can practice to handle his own feelings. You can try modeling them and verbalizing your own feelings to set an example.

Another good story, aimed at slightly older kids, is Moody Cow Meditates - which features the brilliant "mind jar", also called a calm-down jar or feelings jar. See these instructions (and some cool variations) for making your own (definitely recommend using a plastic bottle rather than glass jar!). The idea is you shake up the jar/bottle to get all those big feelings out, and then sit quietly watching until all the glitter settles. I also recently discovered a cool coloring book that teaches different emotion regulation strategies, loosely based on some guided meditations for kids. There are also some good meditation apps for kids out there, such as Stop, Breathe & Think for Kids and Sesame Street's Breathe, Think, Do.

Hopefully something in there is helpful!

The company that makes these is Archie McPhee: http://www.mcphee.com/shop/

My friend works for them as a designer. Coincidentally, he wrote a book called "Do Narwals have Blowholes?" It's a childrens' book:

I hope both of these links blow your minds.

Oof, tough question. Well, I’ll start with the obvious punt: First off coral reefs are so awesome I can’t imagine why people would stop caring about them or stop trying to save them. :-) But I get your point. And of course, it is difficult for the average person who has never seen a reef, to connect to them, which is why popular books such as Coral Reefs by Maris Wicks are so important: https://www.amazon.com/Science-Comics-Coral-Reefs-Cities/dp/1626721459/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=coral+reefs+by+maris+wicks&qid=1562867747&s=gateway&sr=8-1

As for an estimate of how long they have I truly don’t have a guess. Some corals like Big Momma in American Samoa have lived for 500+ years, dealing with everything that we’ve done to the oceans so far. http://blog.panedia.com/2015/06/10/big-momma-american-samoa/ Why is she so resilient? Lots of scientists like Steve Palumbi and others are looking for strong corals that might be able to survive the coming future, or that have already survived the challenging past. In the Phoenix Islands, there are resilient reefs that have come back from severe bleaching (https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2016/08/18/coral-reef-blooms-pacific) - Mangubhai et al. 2018, Mollica et al. 2019, and others. Trying to find resilient reefs, and the mechanisms behind them, is at the cutting edge of current reef research, and many of my colleagues are doing some incredible research on these topics.

However, climate change aside, in a bar fight between microplastics and a coral, microplastics would most likely win in the end. Our research has shown that corals in the wild ingest, but survive, microplastics to some extent… but at some point, ingestion of too many microplastics will likely cause mortality. And if ingestion alone doesn’t kill them, the potential for pathogenic microbes to hitch a ride on plastics might. But then again…. Corals have one sucker punch move available: they are animals and have behavior. So maybe they will learn to avoid eating microplastics over time? That might prove adaptive if it’s possible. I think this conversation needs a beer. :-)

Probably worth mentioning in this subreddit: there's a children's book!

u/dmwebber · 3 pointsr/WTF

My kindergartners just went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium this week so I've been reading them books about the ocean. This is their favorite. Rather than go through the "boring" creatures, I have them point to the coolest thing on the page and I read that entry to them. They always pick the goblin shark.

u/cucumberswithanxiety · 3 pointsr/namenerds

My dads name is Clark! Although he spells it Clarke.

If you want a cute children’s book to read to your new baby boy, I highly recommend Clark The Shark!

u/kaeorin · 3 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Is it The Music of Dolphins? A little girl was essentially raised by dolphins after a plane crash (I think?) and a group of people (scientists? social workers? I can't remember...) find her and take her in. I remember reading and re-reading that book over and over again when I was younger: it was so beautiful and sad.

I picked it up at the librarian conference in FL!

I think this is the book that they were there to advertise, in case it helps: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017LE9ROC/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

Oh, I <3 looking for books for my kids!! They are 14, 13, 12, 11, and 5. Our son is the youngest, and he loves all the books that his older sisters loved when they were younger. :D

Oh my gosh...Get those kids some books!

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

This book does that too. It's written in first person and a story of a girl who was raised by dolphins (lol) and captured by scientists and taught to read, write, etc.

I read this book to my daughter sometimes.
The frown fish turns out to be an upside down catfish. Apparently some species just do that, because they're bottom feeders, so being upside down lets them see what they're about to eat.

So.. I read this version of Moby Dick about 9 times when i was younger, and it was my favorite. It was about 100 pages with a picture on every other page. I once read it, in full, on the way to the airport (about 1.5 hour drive) when i was probably 14, and then commonly mentioned that I read moby dick in a day to people. Most just gave me a funny look, but my best friend, who had to read it in college finally called me on it about 2 years ago, about 14 years too late. I then learned that all those illustrated classics are abridged, and that my classics reading has been mostly a sham to this point. I just bought a copy of the actual Moby Dick, and am slated to read it after i finish LOTR: return of the king. Anyway.. I am looking forward to it.
