The meditative picture book that Kirkus Reviews recommends as "a
practical introduction to the mindfulness meditation, as an example
of the practice, and as a guide"-now in paperback! Parents,
educators, and health practitioners everywhere are recognizing the
importance of mindfulness practice, particularly for children.
Meditation and yoga are becoming common activities in kindergarten
classes and beyond. Taking time to be still and pay attention to
their thoughts and bodies helps kids feel calm, focused, and in
control. In A World of Mindfulness, meditative text reflects on the
sensory ways children experience life, from the feeling of their
muscles when they run...to the sound of a turning page...to the
memory-laden taste of fresh-baked cookies. Positive and negative
emotions are alike acknowledged and affirmed, and a strong sense of
self is reinforced. Richly illustrated by fourteen artists with
all-new original art, A World of Mindfulness will create its own
quiet moments as children revisit its lavish pages. A closing note
about mindfulness practice rounds out this board book, making it a
helpful resource for homes, classrooms, and beyond.
The West Highland Terrier that brought Harvey Comes Home to life
returns with his tail wagging and his nose sharp, ready for a new
adventure Harvey the West Highland Terrier is back with his beloved
Maggie. He is also back at Brayside retirement home, where he and
Maggie now volunteer along with their friend Austin. There Maggie
is drawn to a new resident, Mrs. Fradette, who tells stories of
learning to fix cars as a twelve-year-old during the flood of 1950.
Mrs. Fradette, with her bold fashion and love of poker, doesn't fit
in among the beige-cardigan-wearing, bridge-playing ladies of
Brayside, but she doesn't seem to care. Maybe that's why Maggie
likes her so much. Since seventh grade began, Maggie hasn't been
fitting in well with her friends, either. Harvey has a problem of
his own. He can smell an intruder in his yard, and he needs to find
it. He is so intent on the nighttime fiend that he almost doesn't
notice how worried Austin is about his grandfather, who has been
Brayside's custodian for longer than Harvey has been alive. It
seems like the retirement home is planning to give the job to a
younger man, an injustice that Austin can't let pass unchallenged.
In intertwining perspectives, Colleen Nelson tells four stories of
individuals standing firm for what they know is right: Josephine
Fradette, insisting on her right to become a mechanic; Maggie,
certain that her friends' expectations shouldn't define who she
becomes; Austin, indignantly campaigning against ageism; and
Harvey, who has found his home at last and is determined to protect
it.
The award-winning Harvey Stories are back with a new story of
acceptance, understanding, and the loving comfort of everyone's
favourite Westie. There's nothing quite like the loving
companionship of a loyal dog. When Harvey's status as Brayside's
comfort dog comes into question, the elderly residents are quick to
stand up for him. Mr. Kowalski, a longstanding Brayside resident,
is struggling with his wife's recent hospitalization. As Harvey
watches over him, Mr. Kowalski shares stories of his youth during
World War II-tales which fascinates Harvey's friend Austin. At the
same time, the newly appointed Assistant Director Hilary Appleby,
the person who wants to get rid of Harvey, also creates
unreasonable rules which make the residents of Brayside miserable.
The new school season for Austin and Harvey's owner Maggie proves
to be harder than expected. Maggie's audition for the school play
of Annie doesn't go as planned, with the role she wanted going to
Ndidi, who rarely comes out to rehearsals. Austin, for his part, is
battling shame around not being able to afford a school trip.
Award-winning author Colleen Nelson and illustrator Tara Anderson
team up once again to deliver another engaging story where Harvey's
exceptional nose leads Maggie and Austin to find resolution to the
many challenges they face. Themes of acceptance, understanding, and
intergenerational friendships are the strengths of this
middle-grade novel.

In bouncing rhyme, three rhino siblings squabble and spat their way
through their bedtime routine. When they realize how tired their
bickering has made Mama Rhino, the three find common ground in
giving her a sweet surprise. Three little rhinos are having trouble
getting along as Mama tries to coax them through the evening
routine. Will they fidget, fuss, and fight right up until bedtime?
Or will their Mama’s love help them find some common ground?
Victoria Allenby and Tara Anderson, the award-winning
author-illustrator team behind Nat the Cat Can Sleep Like That,
return with a lively story that will warm the heart of any frazzled
parent. Children will find mischievous delight in the young
rhinos’ misbehaviour, told in bouncing rhyme and energetic
illustrations that blend true rhino form with an imaginative
setting. And ultimately they, like the rhino siblings, may be
inspired to acknowledge and reward their parents’ patient love.
Governor General's Award finalist Harvey Holds His Own delivers
another satisfying story of heart, perseverance, and one incredible
little dog, now in a new paperback format. Harvey, the West
Highland Terrier hero of Harvey Comes Home, is back with his
beloved Maggie. He is also back at Brayside retirement home, where
he and Maggie now volunteer along with their friend Austin. There
Maggie is drawn to a new resident, Mrs. Fradette, who tells stories
of learning to fix cars as a twelve-year-old during the flood of
1950. Mrs. Fradette, with her bold fashion and love of poker,
doesn't fit in among the beige cardigan- wearing, bridge-playing
ladies of Brayside, but she doesn't seem to care. Maybe that's why
Maggie likes her so much. Since seventh grade began, Maggie hasn't
been fitting in well with her friends, either. Always alert for
anything new-and with a nose that never misses a new scent-Harvey
follows his instincts on a walk with Austin and discovers an
abandoned newborn puppy in a pile of trash. Austin's heart almost
breaks over the little puppy's plight, so he takes her to safety.
Maggie and the Brayside residents and staff praise Harvey's heroic
efforts, wishing that Austin could have his own dog. But the little
puppy will need time to recover from her trauma before she can be
adopted, and then there's another, even bigger obstacle: Austin's
mom, who says no to pets. As fall edges toward winter, Harvey picks
up an unfriendly scent in his backyard, and he will stop at nothing
to keep Maggie and the others safe. But sometimes the little Westie
is just too brave for his own good.

scurry. Who can sleep through all of that? Who can sleep? It's Nat
the Cat! Nat has a talent for sleeping all day long. Name any place

In fact, Nat is so devoted to slumber that the imaginative antics
of a crazy kitten don’t seem to bother him one bit, until… When
the nighttime quiet falls, when strange shadows fill the halls…
Now Nat is all fired up and ready to go! Will the kitten be able to
keep up, or is it time for her to find the perfect place to settle
down for a wee nap? Victoria Allenby’s rhythmic verse perfectly
accompanies Tara Anderson’s irresistible art. Cat lovers young
and old will delight in this not-quite-ready-for-bedtime treat.
"Young readers will enjoy the brief rhymed text and find themselves
chiming in on the repeated refrain, "Nat the cat can sleep like
that!" And they will especially relish telling the unwritten story
depicted in the large, mixed-media illustrations....[W]hether
sleeping or cavorting through the house, these two kitties are sure
to win youngsters' hearts."—School Library Journal
