Voila! Quinn spent the morning in their workshop, and they emerged with Something Great! But… What is it? No one seemed to understand that Something Great isn’t supposed to be anything. It was just… itself. Something Great. Then, the new kid asks to play with Quinn and Something Great. They discover that Something Great can be an elevator, a bug catcher, or a stick lifter. It could even be… a friend finder. Quietly profound, this sweet tale and its mixed-media illustrations are a delightful combination of elements blending STEM activities (for those inclined to catch them!) with casual nonconformity in a picture book that is, well, Something Great!

Fans of No Voice Too Small will be inspired by young climate activists who made an impact around climate change in their communities, countries, and beyond. Climate change impacts everyone, but the future belongs to young people. No World Too Big celebrates twelve young activists and three activist groups on front lines of the climate crisis who have planted trees in Uganda, protected water in Canada, reduced school-bus climate footprint in Indonesia, invented alternate power sources in Ohio, and more. Fourteen poems by Vanessa Brantley-Newton, David Bowles, Rajani LaRocca, Ren e LaTulippe, Heidi E. Y. Stemple, and others honor activists from all over the world and the United States. Additional text goes into detail about each activist's life and how readers can get involved.

With a heartwarming story and tender illustrations, this board book is perfect for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and any day when a child needs a reminder of the strength of a mother's love.

Many of us struggle with the effects of abuse, rejection, shame, and guilt. You may have tried as I did to ease the pain with drugs, and/or alcohol. The problem with that is the damage gets so buried deep inside of you that you'll never heal until you face it. We become so used to being whatever or whomever everyone else wants us to be that we lose ourselves. I wrote this book to share my story of pain and powerlessness, sorrow, and shame. But I have a happy ending. I want you to have the same hope I have. I pray you will see yourself in my story and begin to face the truth in your own life. I hope you see that the only way to true freedom and being whole is through God. Let him give you the same hope. John 8:32 And you will know the truth and the truth will make you free.
