This little book is perfect for every family struggling with cancer and explaining it to young children. Told honestly, but gently by adorable cows, children are taken through the standard steps of cancer treatment from hair loss to surgery. Beautiful original watercolor illustrations by noted artist Julie Leiman Weaver bring the cows to life and ease the children through difficult concepts.My perfectly healthy, organic-eating, farm-dwelling daughter-in-law was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 aggressive Cancer. She and my son wanted a book to explain to their 2 and 5 year-old children what would be happening to Mommy. They couldn't find just what they were looking for, so I wrote this story for the little ones.The name "Cows on the Couch" comes from a silly car game I play with the kids to keep them occupied as we travel from the farm to my house so that Mommy can recuperate from chemo.

Human Trafficking: A Comprehensive Exploration into Modern Day Slavery examines the legal, socio-cultural, historical, and political aspects of human trafficking and modern-day slavery. While most texts only cover sex trafficking and labor trafficking, this text takes a more inclusive approach, provide coverage of what is currently known about organ trafficking, child marriage, and child soldiers as well. These topics are explored within the borders of the United States as well as across the world. The reality is that this problem is not limited to one country or, even, one continent. Technology and globalization have made this an international crisis that requires a collaborative and cooperative international response. The goal of this text is to provide an accurate understanding of all forms of human trafficking and current responses to this crime.
