Everything is perfect, until she discovers a loose thread dangling from her arm. Rose tries to ignore the little string, but it is no use. No matter how hard she tries, Rose can't stop pulling at it. Before long, the thread is all she can think about. Slowly, her arm unravels, its stuffing falls out, and Rose can no longer do the things she loves doing. Can Rose find a way to forget about the little loose thread?

While the wall gets higher and higher, Maia grows shyer and shyer. Before long, she is afraid to ask her questions out loud, and the thing she wants to know the most is, "What's on the other side of that wall?" Maia tries all kinds of ways to get to the top, but none of them seem to work. Finally, she summons the courage to speak up, and a most surprising thing happens-she gets an answer! By using her voice, and with help from others, Maia gets to the top of the wall, and a whole new world opens up!
Little Fen loves all of the beautiful colors in the world and loves capturing them with her treasured set of paints.

With a little encouragement from her mother, Fen finds a way to put the colors back in her world and begin enjoying life again. Fen's Drop of Gray sends a powerful message about childhood depression and how parents can help their little ones learn to cope.
Max's parents give him a very special gift: a tiny, magical box that will hold everything, from his toys to his feelings. Max learns, however, that feelings can't be put away as easily as toys. Each negative emotion he feels-anger, embarrassment, sadness, loneliness-gets added to the box, which grows and grows. Eventually it is so large that it keeps him from doing what he loves, like riding his bike and climbing trees. With some help from his friends and family, Max is able to turn the box into something beautiful and let it go. A parents' guide explains how well-intentioned adults often encourage children, especially young boys, to ignore and "put away" their feelings instead of learning to fully live with them. This simple but powerful story not only teaches children how to "control" their emotions but discourages suppressing them, the illustrations becoming more colorful and vibrant as Max moves out from his box's shadow.
Award-winning author-and-illustrator team Brian Wray and Shiloh Penfield are back with a new adventure featuring their beloved children's book character, Rose the stuffed bunny. In Traveling Rose, she is taking her very first big trip to London with her friend Iris and her favorite little boy. Rose is excited about the teas they would have, but soon becomes distracted by her worries. Did she pack her favorite sweater in case the weather is cold? Did she remember to turn off the lamp by her bedside? Her thoughts feel so big that Rose begins to cry and no longer wants to go. Can Rose find a way to let her worries at home and have fun on her trip? The story offers a great way for parents and teachers to talk to children about what happens when impulsive and obsessive thoughts get in the way of enjoying life's big moments as well as everyday life, and what to do about it. These types of “first times” can be stressful for anyone but, for someone with intrusive thoughts, can be filled with obstacles. Intrusive worries are there at every turn, pointing out all of the things that could go wrong or that are “dangerous.” It takes work to see through the fears and picture the possibilities, especially for our beloved Rose Bunny. Children will identify with Rose, and by allowing children to see themselves in a story, it shows them that they are not alone in their experience. Ideal for social and emotional learning, Traveling Rose teaches children to express emotion, which is one of the key ingredients to healthful development. Rose continues to be a starting point to having larger conversations that will create a lasting impact. Don’t miss her in her first picture book, Unraveling Rose.
