Clavis Publishing A Beary Rainy Day
Book Synopsis"A good snuggle-time read when rain turns everyone grumpy." - Kirkus Reviews A sweet story about positive thinking. For little ones ages 5 and up. Wallow the Bear lives a comfortable life deep in the woods. But when it rains, Wallow gets sad. He becomes gloomy and doesn't know what to do. When it starts drizzling, he hunkers down in his cave. One rainy day, he hears splashes and giggling coming from outside. What can that be? He takes a peek out the window and sees owl emptying water with a bucket. More of a reason to stay inside! And then he hears more splashing and giggling. Will Wallow have the courage to come out of his cave?Trade Review"A good snuggle-time read when rain turns everyone grumpy." - Kirkus Reviews "A blue bear named Wallow always gets gloomy when it rains, preferring to stay in bed, but a visit from his friend Little Cub has him donning his yellow raincoat and learning to find the silver lining of storm clouds. Mixed-media illustrations contrast the warmth of Wallow’s cave with the dreary gray of the outdoors, while the rounded edges of the illustrations evoke a soft, organic feeling in this picture book about positive thinking." - Foreword Starred Review "Wallow the Bear lives in his cave, where he likes to stay on rainy days. But the rain today is extra rough, and once the raindrops come through the roof, Wallow is ready to return to bed. Until he hears laughter outside and finds his friend playing in the puddles. Wallow joins in and decides maybe rainy days aren't so bad after all. A cute story with a social-emotional component. There is also a side story told in the pictures, which I didn't notice until another reviewer pointed it out-- the squirrel gradually takes honey and waffles from Wallow and makes a feast for the squirrels. Easy concept to relate to and fun pictures (I especially love the one where Wallow is lying on the floor with a book over his face)." - Carroll County Public Library ""A Beary Rainy Day" is an adorable picture book that encourages readers to face their fears and try new things. The illustrations are colorful and fun. This would be a great picture book for library storytime." - Charleston County Public Library "I LOVE THESE ILLUSTRATIONS! I will read more Adam Ciccio just for the pictures. Beautifully done. Wallow the bear hates the rain and gets upset when he can't go outside. His friend Little Cub convinces him to go outside and he has the best time." -Lubbock Public Library "Little ones can be sad and not want to do anything, so they can relate to Wallow. The message is one that is good for kids to hear - look past the gloom and you could surprise yourself with something good. The illustrations were fitting and fun to look at. My library will be purchasing this book for our collection. " - Austin Public Library "A lovely story about how a mood can be transient if you just let yourself see someone else's perspective. The illustrations were lovely shades of blue and grey at the beginning, to reflect Wallow's mood, and became sunnier and more playful as Wallow's disposition changed. This would be a great book to read to children who are reticent to play in the rain." - Fraser Valley Regional Library

This will help boost to their physical balance, coordination and mindfulness in ways that only yoga can.”—Midwest Book Review“Blast off! It’s yoga time! It might seem antithetical that a children’s book teaching readers yoga postures and the concept of mindfulness—which focuses on the here and now—would use space and space travel as a backdrop. But the playful conceit makes sense considering this title instructs children (and adults sharing the book with kids) to stretch various body parts—arms, hips—up, out, and toward the sky as it demonstrates and describes poses, relaxation techniques, and measured-breathing exercises. It also empowers kids to soar with their minds and imaginations. Simply written, comprehensible text explains the movements and breathing methods required for each pose (which become more complex as the book advances). Colorful illustrations feature lively, space-themed scenes, affirming a sense of adventure as a young, light-skinned child with a ponytail models different, clearly depicted postures. Backmatter elaborates on the physical and emotional benefits inherent in each included pose.” —Kirkus Reviews “Rocket Ship Yoga is a delightful and heart filled guide that will empower kids of all ages. Author Bari Koral will inspire families to put away the screens and blast off into feeling good in their bodies. I highly recommend Rocket Ship Yoga which is now one of my new favorite children’s yoga books.”—Melanie Salvatore-August, author of Yoga to Support Immunity “One of the best ways to help kiddos manage stress is by incorporating yoga into their day-to-day routine.

Pajama Press A Smile
Book SynopsisThe power of a smile transforms lives in a modern translation of the classic poem by a beloved humanitarian A smile costs nothing, but it's worth so much. Did you ever think about the power of a smile? With one short poem, French writer and humanitarian Raoul Follereau (1903-1977) spoke to the world about the value of this fundamentally human expression. Since 1920 "A Smile" has been translated into many languages around the world. In this new English translation, framed for a small child's point of view, the poignant words accompany an intergenerational story in pictures about two children and the many lives affected by their infectious smiles. A dejected street musician, A lonely businessman, an exhausted teacher—all are lifted up by the generosity, compassion, and friendship inspired by a simple smile. Created in paper collage by internationally award-winning illustrator Hoda Hadadi, the illustrations burst with joyful emotions that will infect the hearts of every reader. Although Raoul Follereau passed away in 1977, his belief in the ability of children to change the world shines through in this book, which was created thanks to the assistance of La Fondation Raoul Follereau. A closing note shares details about Follereau's humanitarian work, his thirty years traveling the world to give aid to and raise awareness for people with leprosy, and his creation of World Leprosy Day, which is still marked on the last Sunday in January every year.Trade ReviewPraise for A Smile 2021 Northern Lights Book Awards Winner – Emotional Health Category “Smiling children transform all they meet… A joyful, infectious celebration of the transformative power of a smile.” —Kirkus Reviews “Every sentence reads as truth, and Hadadi, working in a primary palette of good cheer, welcome, and bright colors, invites readers into the pages…A quiet idea, amplified, that to be kind, all children need is a smile.”—School Library Journal “Simply perfect for anyone at anytime – it will certainly make you smile!”—Independent Book Reviews “It speaks to everyone, from the youngest to the oldest and leaves the gift of a smile when it’s finished.”—North Somerset Teachers’ Book Award “This is perfect for gently introducing children to the importance of kindness and altruism, as well as easy ways to practice what they've learned… It's sure to put a smile on the face of anyone who reads it.”—Picture Book Snob “The words are full of compassion, understanding and tenderness to those who may be struggling and have particular resonance at the moment as we emerge from lockdown and are able to share smiles more readily.”—Library Lady “The text is nice…, but it's the illustrations by Hoda Hadadi that really make this work shine.
