I Can Make a Water Dance is the first in a planned series of children's dance and science discovery books, that connects dance with processes in nature. Dancers magically rise out of the mist, curl like splashes in the river, and sail as trailing clouds. The embodiment of natural phenomena allows the dancers to learn about the water cycle in a unique way, learn something about their own bodies, and stimulates creative thinking.

The book is presented in two-page spreads. The left side contains text that describes the stage of the water cycle, poetry that vividly portrays the action that is taking place, and a question that invites the readers to think of additional ways that movement can be found in that phase of water. The dynamic movement words invite young listeners to transform themselves into water and extend their vocabulary, helping develop literacy.

On the right side of the spread is a lush painting demonstrating how that stage of water moves. Superimposed dancer photos on the paintings are presented as part of the action. Creating a dance about water immediately becomes understandable.

There are fifteen paintings that include Mist, Clouds, Storm Cloud, Rain, Puddle, Rainbow, Snow, Ice, Stream, River, Waterfall, Lake, Geyser, Ocean, and Water Cycle. Near the end of the book is a two-page spread of all the dancers with accompanying action words, inviting children to create their own dance. The final page includes tips for parents and teachers.

From NFL defensive star Trey Hendrickson and John Otten, co-author and co-founder of the Brave Like Me Foundation, comes a heartwarming, rhyming children's picture book about belonging, confidence, and discovering your purpose.

Long before Friday night lights, rivalry Saturdays, and Sunday battles on the gridiron, there was one ball who had no idea where he belonged. Finnegan is shaped a little differently than the other balls, and that difference leaves him bouncing from place to place, trying to find his spot. Soccer balls, basketballs, and baseballs all seem to know exactly what they were made to do, but Finnegan keeps coming up short, or at least feeling that way.

So he tries everything.

He bonks through tennis courts, tumbles into volleyball matches, and ricochets into one close call after another, collecting laughs, lessons, and a couple of bumps along the way. And with every attempt, a question grows louder, and more familiar to kids (and adults) everywhere: "Why am I different?"

With the help of friends, belief, and persistence, Finnegan discovers that the very thing that once made him feel out of place is exactly what he was created for. Blending humor and heart with themes like resilience, self-acceptance, and courage, Finnegan, the Football is a perfect read-aloud for families, classrooms, and teams.

A joyful reminder that we are created perfect, special, and good, and sometimes what makes us different is what helps us find where we truly belong.

Ideal for: ages 4-8, parents, teachers, coaches, and anyone looking for an uplifting childrens' book about friendship, confidence, perseverance, and finding your place.
