Bright ideas are everywhere!

Thanks to the glowing personality and positive vibes of her adorable new friend, nothing can stop Lexi from facing the day like the champion she truly is. With beautiful illustrations and a glint of humor, school-aged children will love seeing themselves in this tale of triumph over adversity. The Bright Spot is both a teaching tool and a heartwarming story of pushing through uncomfortable moments, managing anxiety, and becoming your own best guide.

In this fun, interactive game of hide-and-seek, young children learn all about positional prepositions. Bear, Fox and Owl are playing hide-and-seek in a woodland playground. They each take a turn counting to ten, then shouting 'Ready or not, here I come!' When Fox finds Bear INSIDE the castle and Owl ON the slide, Bear hugs Fox and Owl. When Owl spots Bear BEHIND the climbing wall and Fox UNDER the bench, Bear hugs Fox and Owl again! But when Fox and Owl are not BETWEEN the swings, AMONG the trees, THROUGH the tunnel or ACROSS the bridge, Bear is the one who needs a hug. Will Fox and Owl come out of hiding to help their friend?
