Delves into the range of real and sometimes very raw emotions… a thought-provoking story and excellent resource for supporting young people through the various stages of their transitions.” Michele Borba, Ed.D, author of Thrivers: The Surprising Reasons Why Some Kids Struggle and Others Shine
La vie en movement |
| Amy Casteel et Ruth E. Van Reken La vie est ponctuée de transitions. Elles se produisent parfois au même endroit : nous passons de l’enfance à l’âge adulte, du célibat au mariage, d’une bonne santé à une maladie chronique. Certaines transitions surviennent lorsque nous partons vivre ailleurs. Ce livre présente comment l’humanité a dû faire face à ces grands changements géographiques, depuis le départ forcé d’Adam et Ève du jardin d’Éden. Le croirez-vous ? Celles et ceux qui ont vécu de telles transitions ont beau avoir vécu dans l’Antiquité, leurs réactions ressemblent étonnamment aux nôtres. Ces récits nous aident à mieux comprendre les phases de la transition. Ils éclairent nos réactions à chaque étape et nous donnent des pistes sérieuses pour les traverser toutes avec force et espoir. |  |

Springtime Books is delighted to confirm that, due to popular demand, Niamh Ni Bhroin's inspirational memoir, The Singing Warrior, Finding Happiness After a Life Filled with Pain and Abuse, is back on sale.
| Niamh was born in Dublin and was convent-educated. Her physical abuse by the nuns and sexual abuse by a friend of the family (as a young child), had consequences right up through to her adult life. Her absent seagoing father and over-controlling mother also made her seem vulnerable all her life. However, when she travelled to London, then Greece, her life started to change, or so she thought. Unfortunately, the same patterns kept on cropping up. She married a controlling husband and spent many years in a life that was ruled by others. Her stay in the Netherlands was difficult and trying. Her breakthrough came when she went to Africa for her 50th birthday and met a Masai warrior. She knew that her life had to radically change when he confronted her with the truths of her journey and it did. Within 3 months, she left a life, lifestyle and marriage and started a new life with her young daughter and two Ikea bags and a dog called Mozart. She went on a shamanic healing weekend in Scotland and came back the woman that she knew she truly was. |  |
There is so much more to this book than you'd imagine. The word 'dictionary' is accurate but doesn't do it justice. As you work through the A-Z of terms relating to global mobility you're reminded how complex are their meanings.

 | Travels Through Asia: where the stars disappear is the discovery of the traditions and history of different cultures in Sikkim, Ladakh and Orissa – now Odisha, China, the Caucasus, Nepal and Myanmar, recounted through the filter of illness. Hermann Hesse once wrote: “Where borders vanish, we find Nirvana. The beloved stars of nostalgia still shine brightly for me.” Similarly, this book describes the feelings and emotions experienced during the voyage of life. The desire to cross the boundaries of space and time may stem from a deep-rooted restlessness, but one may find contentment in the knowledge that it is possible to find happiness by just looking at the stars. |

Filtered through Joyce Agee’s memories and illustrated by her sister, Ellen Agee, this book identifies the often hidden and complex feelings that can be experienced by newcomers – whether first-time, seasoned or expatriate – as they relocate to a new suburb, city or country.

| Now an Australian citizen, in writing this book Joyce has brought together the experiences of a nomadic expat with those of a newcomer child. She reflects on how her life has been impacted by the family’s frequent moves while she was growing up. Books, television programs and films were to become an emotional lifeline for the two sisters, giving them a sense of stability and continuity when everything else around them was constantly changing. The Newcomer’s Dictionary also explores how language, which evolves over time and across cultures, influences our perception of newcomers. It describes the newcomer identity, experiences and emotions – above all the feelings of being an outsider and the need to belong. | |
By Claire Hauxwell
Meet Dandelion, our author’s alter ego – a flailing spouse and dedicated mom of two who’s a decade into her expat life and doesn’t know who the hell she is anymore. Dandelion’s schtick is getting old. Dandelion’s feeling uncomfortable in her own skin. Dandelion’s longing for the days when there was more to life than wandering the aisles of another damn grocery store in expatland. Dandelion’s life is a #shitastrophy.
| But all is not lost. Our heroine is resilient, and with a little help from her friends and an incessantly upbeat coach, she’s determined to get off that highway to Shitsville. Dandelion is spirited, daring, genuine, and brave. Yep, you guessed it – Dandelion is a #badass. In an honest, insightful, and shamelessly funny account of what the daily grind of an Accompanying Supportive Spouse can look like, Claire Hauxwell reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly bits of expat life. You know, the things no one tells you about, such as how adulting is totally overrated. Along the way, she shares a whole load of inspirational stuff too. Like how to get that self-care routine going. Let’s face it, you can’t make everyone happy. You are not tequila. | |

They need to feel a sense of coherence so that they can understand and manage the challenges they face. This book guides children ages 6-13 through their move abroad. By writing, drawing, collecting memories and sharing them with others, they can create their own special story about their lives before, during and after their international move. The book supports children in sharing thoughts, feelings and ideas with their family and with old and new friends, so friendships can be maintained and enhanced. The book is a starting point for conversations between children and their parents, for children’s groups, in schools and across cultures and borders. The owner of this book will have a lifelong treasure. Marion Knell, writer and speaker, cross-cultural consultant |  |
