From a crescent moon to a square garden to an octagonal fountain, this breathtaking picture book celebrates the shapesand traditions of the Muslim world.

This story of Nigerian magic awakens readers in the night and takes them on a journey to arrive at another surprrise by morning as a giant chicken in the kitchen, a nature spirit and a pretty courageos little girl embark on an adventure where nothing is quite as it seems. Is the nature spirit that lives in the wooden walls of her house a help or a hindrance? Is the mishcievous giant chicken a friend or a foe?

A lyrical celebration of multiculturalism as a parent shares with a child the value of their heritage and why it should be a source of pride, even when others disagree.

"Organized as a dictionary, entries in this book for middle-grade readers present words related to creating a better, more inclusive world. Each word is explored via a poem, a quote from an inspiring person, and a short personal anecdote from one of the co-authors, a prompt for how to translate the word into action, and an illustration"--

An illustrated exploration of nature, the threats our planet faces, and what people can do to build a better future. Based on the Terra Carta, a sustainability roadmap, issued by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and his Sustainable Markets Initiative.
