From the New York Times bestselling author of Be Kind comes an uplifting classroom tale about students who create a vegetable garden on their school's rooftop. Millie has recently moved to a new city, from a place more than an ocean away. More than anything she misses the garden where her family used to grow food. Then one day she has an idea—the school has a fine flat roof, perfect for a garden. Soon her teacher and classmates are on board, but it takes more than ideas to build a garden. It takes supplies and hard work; it takes a lot of learning; and it takes a whole school—a whole community—coming together to help. And of course, it also takes a lot of waiting. But as Millie's teacher Miss Mirales says, “Be patient. Good things take time.” From building the beds and planting the seeds to the first glorious harvest, here's the story of a garden—and a girl—in bloom, and what it takes for a new place to finally feel like home.

All Are Welcome meets Sometimes People March in this uplifting picture book with an empowering message: No matter your size, you can do big things. This joyful book celebrates the many ways people can join together to become something bigger-an unstoppable force.

Dejte svému psovi druhou šanci na prvotřídní život! Jak už podtitul napovídá, v knize Do Over Dogs se Pat Millerová zaměřila na to, jak dát psovi druhou šanci na plnohodnotný život. A nejde jenom o psy nalezené, zachráněné, zděděné nebo z útulku – nový start potřebuje i pes, jehož chování nebylo řádně formováno a jeho problémy řešeny, takže z něj místo příjemného společníka vyrostla neřízená střela, která své okolí obtěžuje, děsí, nebo dokonce ohrožuje. V knize se dozvíte vše podstatné o tom, jak v takové situaci postupovat –od analýzy stávajícího chování přes výběr nejvhodnější cesty k nápravě až po rady, čeho se vyvarovat a čeho se držet, abychom vzniku problémového chování u psa předešli.

Vítejte ve světě pozitivních metod výcviku psů. Kniha je určena všem majitelům psů, kteří hledají nějakou metodu pro nenásilné vedení psa – nebo si některou z nich už dokonce osvojili. Podle Pat B. Millerové má být výsledkem výcviku psa především kvalitní vztah, a ten se může rozvinout jenom mezi šťastným a dobře vychovaným psem a šťastným pánem. K tomu, abychom takový vztah vytvořili, potřebujeme porozumět principům chování a učení u psů a následně musíme umět tyto principy aplikovat v našem výcviku. Je to snazší, než se na první pohled zdá, a odměnou vám bude vyrovnaný a poslušný pes, jehož jste vycvičili bez křiku a nervů. A to za to přece stojí, nebo ne? Pat B. Millerová strávila se psy více než 40 let života. Vycvičila mnoho vlastních psů a také mnoho psů, kteří získali celou řadu cen v soutěžích obedience a rally obedience. Vyjma toho si se svými psy užila spoustu legrace při pasení, dogdancingu a agility. Řadu let působila jako prezidentka největšího amerického sdružení profesionálních trenérů psů Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Její čtyři psi jsou nalezenci těch nejrůznějších plemen a velikostí.
