Friendship--and trains!--take center stage in this gentle, inviting
story about paying attention to other people's feelings. Two boys'
fun train-track-building project takes a turn when one of the boys
obliviously insists on only doing things his way. Their
disagreement spells disaster for the train and the friendship,
until a kind teacher steps in and explains how to tell when a
friend is feeling happy, frustrated, or angry. . . and how to ask
for a do-over. Compromising and paying attention to how other
people are feeling can be hard for any kid, but especially for kids
on the autism spectrum. Samatha Cotterill's third book in the
Little Senses series provides gentle guidance along with adorable
illustrations to help every kid navigate the twists and turns of
friendship and working together.

A Brain Pickings Best Children's Book of 2018 "The rambunctiously
designed illustrations of bugs, plants, fruit, snails, and other
aspects of the natural world are done in simple, warm, unshaded
colors and black crayonlike outlines that echo and support the
narrative's ingenuousness, as does the hand-lettered text. It
doesn't take itself too seriously-some segments are endearingly
silly, especially the asides of some of the critters voicing their
opinions. What sets this book apart from so many others with the
same theme of the nourishment derived from connecting with life is
its infectious joy, delivered simply and sincerely."-STARRED
REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews Starting from the premise that everything is
alive-a feeling that is deep and immediate for many children-Be
Still, Life draws the reader into a still place where everything is
moving. Thought-provoking in its depiction of the relationship
between stillness and motion, this is certain to engage children,
slowing them down through sheer fascination and delight. Ohara Hale
is a multi-disciplinary artist. Born in Hollywood, California, she
now lives in Montreal, Quebec. She works as a fine artist,
illustrator, musician/singer, director, animator, voiceover actor,
graphic designer, and art director. Hale shares her studio with her
dog, Banana. Hale loves all creatures, including spiders and
snakes!

Learning about opposites has never been more fun - or funny - than
with this winning board book. Yummy
Spaghetti is yummy, but worms - and blue crayons, and sand, and
other things too gross to mention - are definitely yucky when
tasted. Amiably illustrated in a bright, graphic style, Leslie
Patricelli's spirited board book, YUMMY YUCKY stars an obliging,
bald, and very expressive toddler who acts out each pair of
opposites with comically dramatic effect.
