I move ahead one breath at a time / I act with bravery. / I am courage.

Reynolds, the New York Times bestselling author-illustrator team behind the I Am series, comes a triumphant celebration of everyday courage: believing in ourselves, speaking out, trying new things, asking for help, and getting back up no matter how many times we may fall.

Grounded in mindfulness and awareness, I Am Courage is an empowering reminder that we can conquer anything.

Inside, you'll also find exercises to inspire confidence.

From a brand-new talent, comes a lyrical fable reminiscent of your favorite Grimms' Fairy Tales! Stardog is a lonely protector of stars in the pursuit of finding others of her kind, but along the way learns to redefine her dreams.

"Intricate and captivating, The Last Stardog is an utterly charming and delightful story of friendship and dreams, and the magic that sparks where they meet"
--Hollie Hughes, Author of The Girl and the Dinosaur

Have you ever dreamed the same dream twice or thrice or more? Because if you have you are like Stardog who has dreamed the same dream every night, at least twice or thrice or more . . . It's a very important dream to Stardog, because in this dream Stardog is not alone . . .

Outside of dreams Stardog is the last of her kind and one night, heavy with loneliness Stardog falls out of the sky. Past the planets, down, down, down to Earth where the familiar falls away and the unknown grows all around. All alone and too heavy to fly home, Stardog sets out on a journey to fulfil her dream - to find others like her.

But along the way StarDog meets a butterfly, crow, and tiger that help her realize the journey is no easy feat and dreams can change . . . What Stardog's dream truly is and what she is searching for is that special place where she belongs: perhaps not what is familar, but rather the transformative power of a community of species unlike her own!

From the tiniest animal to the tallest tree, everything on Earth is connected through the circle of life. But at the center of it all is a different kind of circle--the Sun! In this reversible book, read through one side in English, then flip it over and read the other side in Spanish.

Through a charming, bilingual story with rhythmic repetition, young children are introduced to the bright Sun that provides energy for life on Earth.

Follow along as a young tree uses light from the Sun to make its own food, then passes its energy along the food chain... until it circles all the way back to a brand new sprout growing toward the Sun. Readers see how each living thing in the food web provides energy to the next, over and over again.

The vibrant collage art grows along with the increasingly multilevel story. As you read, look for the bug, spider, lizard, fox, and more as they move through each of the pages and build a full ecosystem.

This is the Sun / Este es el Sol gives readers a glimpse into how all the living things are connected through the circle of life--and the role the Sun plays in making it all possible.

In 1835, Colonel Thomas S. Meacham wanted to give the president of the United States a present that celebrated the achievements of his upstate New York farming community. Believing that big is always better, he decided a colossal, legen-dairy gift was in order: a wheel of cheese measuring four feet in diameter, two feet thick, and weighing 1,400 pounds. Transporting the cheese to Washington D.C. was another big undertaking. It traveled by wagon and by ship, before being delivered to the White House on New Year's Day in 1836. But with a big cheese comes a big smell, and after a year the president had a stinky situation on his hands. How can he get rid of this cheesy gift?
