An award-winning picture book about resilience, self-esteem, and
the power of talking about emotions Lili Macaroni loves drawing
butterflies, counting the stars, and being exactly who she is-Lili
Macaroni. That is, until she starts kindergarten. There her
classmates tell her that her hair is like a pumpkin, her eyes are
squinty blueberries, and her laugh is like a parrot's squawk. She
has never felt such unhappiness before. It makes her want to erase
herself and draw a brand-new Lili. Then she reconsiders. Does she
really want to erase her hair that's just like Mom's? Her eyes just
like Grandma's? Her Grandpa's infectious laugh? With her parents'
help, she creates a polka-dotted butterfly to wear at her collar,
publicly announcing her own resilience and symbolically letting her
sorrows be flown away. And when she explains the butterfly to her
classmates, Lili discovers she has begun a powerful conversation,
and that everyone has some trouble to be carried away on butterfly
wings. In this accessible exploration of emotions and self-esteem,
Nicole Testa and Annie Boulanger create a relatable heroine with
inborn ingenuity and warm family support.

Small children are often asked to choose between a gendered binary
- 'boy' or 'girl', 'pink' or 'blue'. This colourful picture book
smashes these stereotypes and encourages the reader to follow their
own way! "Girl or Boy?" What brings you joy? "Pink or blue?" It's
up to you. With vibrant illustrations and concise, poetic text,
this powerful book teaches young children that there are no limits
in what you can do and who you can be. You are unique! Translated
from the original Portuguese by award-winning transgender poet Jay
Hulme, My Own Way is an important, timely and beautiful celebration
of identity, difference, and respect.
"Presenting a cartographic journey into the world of the
production(s) of disability, this book examines embodiment,
transhumanism, subjectivity, technology and jurisprudence. It
concerns matters of order/disorder and the normal and pathological,
and explores the way stories about wholeness, health, enhancement
and perfection are told"--Provided by publisher.

otters and a sea child. This effective, self-calming technique also
known as "diaphragmatic breathing" can have a positive impact on
your child's health. Proper breathing can lower stress and anxiety
levels. It can be used to decrease pain and anger. Delightful
characters and easy breathing encourage your child to slow down,
relax, and fall asleep peacefully. If you enjoyed A Boy and a Bear,
you will love Sea Otter Cove. This is one of four stories featured
on the Indigo Ocean Dreams CD.

anymore--they'll have underwear under there The book includes tips
for parents and caregivers from a children's health specialist.
