With clear explanations, fun illustrations, and expertly-presented
information, Consent (for Kids!) is an empowering introduction to
consent, bodily autonomy, and how to respect yourself and others.
Consent is like being ruler of your own country...population: YOU.
This is a smart, playful guide to consent and bodily autonomy,
packed with bright and energetic illustrations. Readers will learn
about boundaries and how to set them; ways to respect themselves
and others; what to do if someone makes them feel uncomfortable or
unsafe; and much more. Along the way, they'll be encouraged to
reflect on (and improve!) their own behavior and to practice
consent in their daily lives. Whether you're looking for a consent
primer to share with a friend or searching for a way to talk to
your child about what it means to be in control of their own body
and respect others', look no further! This humorous and insightful
book from the co-creator of the viral Tea Consent video is the
perfect teaching tool, conversation starter, and insightful,
empowering resource for educators, kids, and families everywhere.
Once upon a time, an evil faerie cursed a young princess. On her
fifteenth birthday, the princess pricked her finger on a spindle
and fell into a spell of sleep. Trapped behind poisonous thorns and
guarded by deadly zombies, only the bravest soul can awaken her.
Otherwise, she will live forever in eternal slumber.
Tou Yang is the smallest kid on his football team, but he plays
like a giant. Tou's job is to dash down the field and smash the
ball carrier on kickoffs and punts, and he does it well. When the
Bandits come to town, an old enemy on the other side of the line
goes out of his way to bring Tou down. Darren cuts corners and
plays dirty. Will Tou be able to overcome his gridiron bully, or
will Darren send him to the sidelines?
Jean, an adorable 5 year-old boy, relates his daily life and little
adventures with his sour-tempered teacher Madame Moinot, his busy
dad, his nanny Yvette (the Queen of iced chocolate), his little
brother Paul (with whom he's always fighting) and his neighbor
Michele (whose parents own a kennel). But Jean feels a great
emptiness inside and asks 'Where is my Mommy?' With sensitivity and
emotion, but never lapsing into melodrama, Bravo and Regnaud tell
their story and remind us that children are not the only ones who
would rather invent than deal with reality.

Raina Telgemeier and Kayla Miller, when coding whiz Zoey goes from
homeschooled to new school, she develops an app to help her make
friends. Will the Cool Code help Zoey fit in? Or will it completely
crash her social life? In an attempt to fit in, Zoey develops an
app called the Cool Code with a cute llama avatar that will tell
her everything from what to say to what to wear based on pop
culture algorithms she's uploaded. But when the app gives her
ridiculous advice, awkwardness and hilarity ensues. With a few
upgrades and a bit of debugging from the coding club, the app
actually works-Zoey gets really popular . . . and gets her pulled
in all kinds of directions, including away from her real friends.
Life's most complicated choices. . . is there a code for that?

In the series finale, Timmy Failure and his class create a hilarious film about his life ― just in time for the holidays.
Though I, Timmy Failure, have solved many notorious crimes and now wish to enjoy my retirement, my fans have begged me to turn my memoirs into a movie, an ode to my greatness. I am, however, beset by enemies, the worst of whom is Tom John John, the buffoonish movie director.
What’s more, my father is in town, working at a bar, which is obviously just a cover for our father-son crime-fighting partnership. And my dim-witted polar bear business partner, Total, wants to be reunited with his family. I should have known it would end like this. I expected more.
