Abigail dreads swimming lessons. Every time she dives into the pool, she makes a big splash, and all the girls in her class shout: “Abigail’s a whale!” Abigail can see that she is larger than the other girls. She feels huge, heavy, and out of place. Abigail’s swimming teacher takes her aside and points out: we can change how we see ourselves. He offers a creative visualization technique she can use to feel bolder, more confident, and more accepting of herself. Abigail tries it out in challenging situations that week—walking home in the dark, eating her vegetables, trying to fall asleep. Illustrations in the book show her perspective morphing powerfully to match her new thought patterns. Next time she’s in swimming class, instead of feeling heavy, Abigail thinks sardine, eel, barracuda, shark! She starts to figure out how to draw on mindfulness, creative thinking, resilience, and positive self-esteem to embrace exactly who she is. This picture book supports social/emotional learning and serves as a perfect jumping-off point for topics like bullying, empathy, confidence, and creative problem solving.

An ordinary day turns into an extraordinary adventure for three friends lying in the grass watching the clouds pass by as Zip, Trik, and Flip set off to find where the world ends. The trio journeys across fantastical landscapes--a lakeside city on stilts, a mysterious and magical forest, a snowy mountaintop--with countless delightful details for young readers to discover. Along the way, they encounter helping hands and discouraging doubters, and each time they think they have reached the end of the world, it seems to move further away. The three friends maintain their spirit and determination, enjoying the journey as much as the destination before returning home again.

A dog has an important job to do, especially if his human is a writer. Without a dog by his side, the writer would forget to eat. He'd never get out of his pajamas, and he'd probably stare at the computer all day long. But even the best French bulldog can't do everything. Maybe this perfect pair needs someone new in their lives... Illustrated in warm, earthy tones, this witty story reflects the ways dogs change our lives for the better. Our canine friends can make--and find--the best companions.
