A child starts to get carried away with worry and rushing thoughts before taking a breath, steadying, observing thoughts, feeling kindness, feeling thankful, and experiencing the world.

One child who wants to make a difference joins with another and, through a series of simple actions and others' help, succeeds in making the world a better place. Includes a mindfulness exercise and notes about the importance of taking one first step.

Unstoppable Me is about the sort of energetic child we all know and love -- full of fun and play...and a bit exhausting! In this book, we see an unstoppable little boy, run, jump, and soar through his day. He takes a little time to refuel, then he's back at it -- zooming and zipping around. This poetic, joyful book -- filled with illustrations as bright and energetic as the boy himself -- is a celebration of the active child.

With the school talent show coming up, a young music lover spends most of her time daydreaming about the perfect act. She notices the sounds around her, like the brrrrring of the school bell or the rappa-tappa-tap of rain on the windowpane. But the talent show is the place to reveal her own voice. Will she mix up some hip-hop beats? Will she command an orchestra of dozens, bringing the classics to life? Or, will she go electric, Jimi Hendrix style?...

After a pea accidentally gets between her mattresses, a busy princess has trouble falling asleep but with help from the gardener, cook, librarian, and astronomer she learns to relax her mind and body. Includes directions for a yoga and meditation bedtime routine.
