Fly, Girl, Fly!: Sheasta Waiz Soars around the World
Shaesta Waiz, a refugee from Afghanistan, dreamed of doing great things. But she had some obstacles to overcome first: leave a refugee camp, make a new life in America, be the first in her family to go to college, and overcome her fear of flying. At the age of thirty, Shaesta was the youngest woman and the first from Afghanistan to circumnavigate the globe by herself in a single-engine aircraft. Fly, Girl, Fly! tells her incredible story and encourages all kids, especially young girls, to pursue their dreams and follow their heart.
Have you ever had an unwelcome thought that you just couldn't lose, no matter how hard you tried to push it away? Most of us would say yes—and many of our kids would too. For every child who has been weighed down by sadness or anxiety, Catching Thoughts teaches kids how to acknowledge unwanted thoughts, show them compassion, then actively let them go. Through this delightful story, children learn how to practice mindfulness, focusing on thoughts that bring beauty, joy, and calm into their lives.
The Boy with Big, Big Feelings
Meet a boy with feelings so big that they glow from his cheeks, spill out of his eyes, and jump up and down on his chest. When a loud truck drives by, he cries. When he hears a joke, he bursts with joy. When his loved ones are having a hard day, he feels their emotions as if they were his own. The boy tries to cope by stuffing down his feelings, but with a little help and artistic inspiration, the boy realizes his feelings are something to be celebrated.
The Star in the Christmas Play
All of the savanna animals are excited to audition for the school Christmas Play, except Raffi the giraffe. He's too tall to play baby Jesus, or Joseph, or even a manger animal. He feels discouraged, until he realizes that he's just the right size to play a very important part. This endearing Christmas tale is perfect for kids who are still learning to feel comfortable in their own skin.
