Chess for children

Chevannes, Sabrina, 1986-,


Includes index. Chess is experiencing a new wave of popularity in schools, and it's educational too. Organisations like Chess in Schools are promoting it as the perfect way to develop analytical thinking skills, foster the competitive instinct - and provide a lot of fun along the way. This cute, character-based book, aimed at children aged 7 and up, is a complete guide to chess for those starting out in the game. In straightforward, animated language, Jess and Jamie - two rough-and-tumble kids who are obsessed with chess - explain everything you need to know, from first sitting down at the board to sneaky tricks to help you beat your opponents. The book explains who the pieces are and how they move (and that we're talking about pawns, not prawns), how to reach checkmate (or, in Jess's words, 'how to kill the king'), and the concept of the opening, middlegame and endgame. It also introduces the idea of chess etiquette - and explains why sometimes no one wins and a game ends in stalemate. Friendlier and more fun than the average children's chess book, The Batsford Book of Chess for Children should become an essential addition to any child's bookshelf.

Call me Gray

Larsen, Bells,


Every winter, as soon as it's cold enough, a child and their father build an ice rink. It's a tradition -- something they do together that never changes. But this year, something is different. Something feels different. "Do you ever feel mixed up about who you are?" the child asks their father while they shovel snow. Their dad says he wanted to be an astronaut, once ... but that's not quite what they meant. As the day goes on, the child tries again, asking more questions. Eventually, they tell their dad, "I look like a boy, but sometimes I feel more like a girl." The child shares that their name feels like an itchy sweater, and they want to change it to "Gray." It's a big change, but one they can grow into together. And when Gray's dad finally uses their chosen name, it feels warm and right, just like hot chocolate after the first skate of the season. Even though Gray's understanding of themself and their identity is changing, the traditions they share with their father -- and the love they have for each other -- stay the same. Call Me Gray is about the joy and comfort a child feels when a parent affirms their identity by using their chosen name.
