Dear colleagues,

For many years, Grass Roots Press wanted to publish an Easy-to-Read Health
Series. We believed that with accessible information, readers are in a
stronger position to make informed choices that affect their health and the
health of their children.  Last year, we received federal funding and formed
a partnership with an inner-city health agency. A participatory process was
used to determine and guide the content, format, appeal, and readability
level of the books in this series.
 
We are pleased to announce that Living with Stress was just published. It is
the first of four books in the Easy-to-Read Health Series. The first two
chapters provide interactive activities for identifying the stressors in our
lives and the ways we respond to stress. The next three chapters deal with
strategies for calming our minds, bodies, and breath. The author, Judy
Murphy, also discusses how to identify and deal with panic anxiety, burnout,
and post-traumatic stress disorder. Parents will appreciate the final
chapter, which is ³Helping Our Children Deal with Stress.² This easy-to-read
book contains over 40 illustrations by Val Lawton. The remaining three
titles in this series will be published over the course of the next two
years.
