Ollie Alexander Kandersteen, successful amateur gardener, longs to
be a tree: Strong. Tall. And mighty enough to stand up to Everett,
the bully next door. Ollie is rather short for his age, and when
things are too heavy or too high to reach, Everett is sure to point
it out. Ollie wilts, he withers. Inside and out, he feels small.
But when Everett, feeling jealous of Ollie's gardening skills,
steals Ollie's sapling, an idea takes root... "I couldn't. I
shouldn't." But he does! Ollie SWALLOWS an acorn. He waits,
wonders, and rumbles ... Burp! With a little care and cultivation,
a tree-mendous transformation begins! Ollie's feet root, his arms
branch, his locks leaf, and his limbs stretch to the clouds. He's
finally strong and tall enough to confront Everett. But when he
does, he finds out that being the biggest doesn't always mean
you're the mightiest and getting even with a bully might just make
you feel smaller than ever. Readers of all ages will root for and
relate to Ollie in this whimsical story about working together
despite differences, the power of kindness, and what it truly means
to be mighty.
A little bat struggles to fit in only to learn to celebrate
differences in this heartfelt picture book from an autistic
perspective about starting school, making friends, and seeing what
makes each person special. Bitsy is a little bat with big star
dreams of making friends at her new school. But when she arrives,
Bitsy doesn’t feel like she fits in. The other kids sit on their
chairs, but sitting upright makes Bitsy dizzy. The other kids paint
with their fingers, but Bitsy would rather use her toes. Everyone
tells Bitsy she’s doing things wrong-wrong-wrong, so she tries
harder…and ends up having a five-star meltdown. Now Bitsy feels
like a very small star and doesn’t want to go back to school. But
with help from her family, Bitsy musters her courage, comes up with
a new plan, and discovers that being a good friend is just one of
the ways she shines bright!
