Superkid Saves the Day in more ways than one.  Superkid helps children sort out their emotions in eleven different stories.  From feelings of anger, jealousy, eating healthy and listening to others, Superkid will guide your youngster and educate them in a fun and loving way.

In addition, Superkid teaches how to breathe deeply to gain more control of your emotions and also to calm tense moments - a lesson that is sure to last a lifetime!

Author Janai Lowenstein has written about common situations that children may have already experienced and can relate to.  Superkid Saves the Day is also an interactive read (asking pointed questions throughout) so parents and/or teachers can open up a path to deep, meaningful discussions.

The illustrations by Yan Jiang are bright and simply adorable - you're kids will love them!

If I Could Keep You Little...

"If I could keep you little, I'd hum you lullabies.  But then I'd miss you singing your concert's big surprise..."

If I Could Keep You Little by Marianne Richmond is a beautiful and emotionally driven story that is sure to be a favorite among children and adults alike.

Richmond captures the emotions every parent feels as their children steadily grow and become independent.  If I Could Keep You Little demonstrates to your little one that growing up is a part of life, even if Mommy and Daddy still yearn for the days when they could cuddle and snuggle.

Richmond's soft, subtle illustrations only add to the mood of this book and will draw the reader in, holding them throughout the journey of both parent and child.

The Mouse the Monster and Me

Are you a monster, a mouse, or yourself?

This is the question that author, Dr. Pat Palmer, asks in ‘The Monster, the Mouse and Me,’ a unique and wonderful approach to teaching children how to be assertive.

This book is written for ages 8 and up. Its relaxed font and simple drawings help your child feel at ease and ready to learn the difference between a bully (monster) or acting more timid (mouse).

This book has many self-help exercises that are designed for group and self-reflection. The exercises are specifically designed to help your child identify the differences in character and demonstrate the proper and acceptable behaviour we all need to possess.

I would highly recommend, The Mouse the Monster and Me, to any family. I wish this book would have been around when I was growing up – wonderful.
