The Trick with Sticks is an uplifting story about self-worth, acceptance, happiness, building confidence and that it is ok to be different, but most of all, it is a story that helps demystify friendships and the formation of bonds."The Trick with Sticks" is just one strategy to help children with friendships and bonds by creating a framework to understand and discuss social interactions. Friendships are a natural development process for most children, but there are some who find the development of friendships tricky. What draws children together? What keeps them together? What can parents, teachers or carers do to help children develop these friendships? What are these bonds and how can they be explained? There are many opportunities throughout the story for meaningful conversations, and the chance to reflect on the things that are happening in your child's life. This is so empowering for children who may be going through a tough time making friends or for a range of challenges such as bullying, self-esteem, self-worth, unhappiness, low confidence and acceptance of themselves and others. This is highly recommended for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as they can really struggle with friendships and can often miss social cues or miss opportunities to connect or they can make the same mistakes again and again. In addition to this, neuro-typical children often miss the clues on how to be inclusive and supportive of some of their friends and this concept will empower everyone.

How did German women really view Hitler and his Nazi State?Twenty one German women answered that question in the 1970s when they volunteered to share their wartime experiences with a young New Zealander (the author) who was trying to adapt to living in Germany. The interviews were collected on tape in 1972 and 1973 and translated by the author. By the time the project was complete the author had started studying again and this material landed in the bottom drawer.These oral histories are a fascinating look into German life during the Nazi era. While collecting these stories the author researched women's place in Germany in the 1930s and 40s to put the stories into context. This research is presented in Part 1 of the book followed by the interviews in Part 2.
