New Releases by Lu Hanessian

Living and parenting in an age of chronic stress, anxiety and distraction, what does it take to raise children to thrive, not just survive? Through the metaphor of flowers as children, the story of The Garden is a powerful and poignant parable about the essential process of tending, trusting and growing strong roots. A story told with resplendent illustrations, The Garden shows us how to reclaim and cultivate the transformative power of relationship, and reminds us to enjoy the process, through exploring our own stories, fears and expectations, and marvel at our children''s growth as we learn to hold, let go, and respect each child''s unique nature.

"What happens when imagination and connection join forces? Find out when Ben discovers the power of Imagination Fuel, takes off on a jetpack adventure around the world, and gets home just in time for a picnic -- on a cloud"--Page 4 of cover.

For more than a decade, Lu Hanessian had been on the go, traveling the globe as a successful television host and journalist. But nothing could have prepared her for her biggest assignment: motherhood. Her baby redefined her world, turning her precious beliefs and perceptions on their heads. He threatened her defenses and whipped up her fears like a cyclone. Like most new mothers, Lu wanted answers. Going by the book didn''t seem to work and popular opinion was not at all popular with her baby. So she did the only thing she could under the circumstances: She let the baby drive. Along that uncharted road, Lu unearthed her intuition, discovered the power of a baby''s voice, the changing dynamic of marriage, and the unexpected merits of self-doubt. In following a journey from chaos to conviction, her voice will inspire mothers everywhere. Book jacket.
