— we hope you'll receive this issue at the start of summer vacation, when it's good to gather a few books for the season, making the well-deserved rest truly fruitful;
— the selection is varied. The first three are easy reads, accessible to everyone, suited in places to be read aloud to disabled children, with encouraging content: they pull you forward with an open heart; sometimes it does good to follow the path of hope walked by others in hard circumstances; you learn not to dwell too much on your own pain, but to open yourself to sharing.

Group Leadership (Building Cohesion and Nonviolent Action)

A book born from real experience. The English author works in the nonviolence movement; he gathered these techniques to help a group leader build cohesion and create the right dynamics to serve the cause of nonviolence.
It can serve as a manual for anyone—whether new to group work or experienced—who wants to deepen and better practice their role in the complex setting of a group made up of both nondisabled and disabled people of different ages and backgrounds.
