Author
Description
Taking time to listen to a bird's song on the breeze. Taking time to gather up the blossom dancing free. Taking time to imagine the deep sounds of the sea. Taking time to cherish you ... and cherish me.
This poem is inspired by principles of mindfulness and invites children around the world to experience the wonders of nature and home.

Sophy was shy and lonely. She didn't fit in with anyone at school and people laughed and whispered behind her back. But, one day, a wolf appears in her room and teaches Sophy that she has a wolf-like courage that can change everything. This is a story about conquering that feeling of shyness, being brave and finding your voice when you need it the most.

Description
"As the seasons turn, Maisie rides her bull in and out of Dada's tall tales. Her Mama wears linen and plays the viola. Her Dada wears kente cloth and plays the marimba. They come from different places, but they hug her in the same way. And most of all, they love her just the same. A joyful celebration of a mixed-race family and the love that binds us all together."--
