Claire Cashmore, MBE and Paralympic gold medallist, was born without a
left forearm – but she never let being different stand in the way of
her big dreams. Splash is based on Claire’s real-life experience: this
gold-medal-winning swimmer really was scared of water … until one day,
everything changed!
These are Claire’s big sisters.
They call her Bear and ruffle her hair.
And whatever Claire’s sisters can do,
Claire can do too …
But there is one thing Claire won't do …The water in the swimming pool
makes her feel squirmy inside. Follow her sisters? No thank you! Not
today?
Can Claire conquer her fears? Can she set foot in the water – and what
will happen if she does?
Splash features a brilliantly bold heroine, who happens to be
differently abled, and brims with fun, positivity and Claire Cashmore’s
inspirational growth mindset message.

Twelve-year-old Bernice Baransky likes the grunge look she's come
by honestly as the only girl at Porchtown Skate Park who can pop an
ollie, ride the rails, and grind the slabs. She'd love to impress
Wyatt Anderson, a skater who calls her Dude, but Bernice can't seem
to do more than mumble when he's around. Should she accept help
from a new neighbor, the proper and princessy Odelia, who is
desperate to befriend her? Odelia keeps a fancy notebook called
Odelia's Guide to the Social Graces and spouts off hilarious
lessons on poise, posture, manners, and what to do about
embarrassing "oopsies" like unexpected burps and spilled soda. This
exciting story takes readers on a thrill ride from the skate park's
half-pipe to Smile Academy, a summer camp for Down syndrome
children. A novel full of adventure and heart, it asks the
question: can two very different people ever be friends?
Based on the research that race, gender, consent, and body
liberation should be discussed with toddlers on up, this read-aloud
board book series offers adults the opportunity to begin important
conversations with young children in an informed, safe, and
supported way. Developed by experts in the fields of early
childhood and activism against injustice, this topic-driven board
book offers clear, concrete language and beautiful imagery to
introduce the concept of BODY LIBERATION. This book serves to
celebrate the uniqueness of your body and all bodies, and addresses
the unfair rules and ideas that currently exist about bodies. It
ends with motivational action points for making the world more fair
for all! While young children are avid observers and questioners of
their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on
complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin.
Research shows that talking about issues like race and gender from
the age of two not only helps children understand what they see,
but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to
recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination
and prejudice. These books offer a supportive approach that
considers both the child and the adult. Stunning art accompanies
the simple and interactive text, and the backmatter offers
additional resources and ideas for extending this discussion.

Christmas!-the perfect gift for under the tree and for Dr. Seuss
fans and collectors any time of year! This season of giving, give a
gift that's never been given before-a full color edition of How the
Grinch Stole Christmas! Originally published in 1957 using just 2
different colored inks (red and black), this new, jacketed edition
features Dr. Seuss's original illustrations in full color for the

Seuss canon that is bound to appeal to Dr. Seuss fans of all ages.
PS: The drabness of the Grinch's life in his cave compared to the
happy, vibrant life of the Whos in Who-ville has never been easier
to see!
