    Book SynopsisDo you ever notice the spaces between the things around us? There is space between breathing in and breathing out, between stars in the night sky, between a question and an answer. In Japanese, this concept is called "ma." When we pause to notice this space between things, we can begin to learn more about the world and even about ourselves. In this interactive book, kids will try activities including tracing the space between images and clapping their hands to listen for the space between claps. As they slow down to connect with the spaces between things, they will learn how to pause, ponder, and embrace mindfulness. The In-Between Book is a creative and thoughtful approach to teaching mindfulness to children, parents, and caregivers. It's a great read one-on-one or perfect for a classroom or storytime.

    Book SynopsisTo battle a menacing evil figure, a group of children team up with amazing mechanical machines built by genius clockmaker Karl Indergarten.  Best friends Karlheinz Indergarten and Leopold Croak clash in an epic, imaginary battle waged in the branches of an enormous, ancient oak tree. But when lightning strikes young Leopold, he loses his imagination, and with it, his sense of right and wrong. The damaged boy grows to adulthood, treading a sinister path of industrial conquest. And Leopold’s thirst for power soon threatens the tree, the village, and worst of all, the children within.   But humble Karl discovers a gift for clockwork—the magic of gears and cogs—and assembles a mechanical army to fight back. Joined by the children themselves, Karl endeavors to save the village, the ancient oak, and maybe—just maybe—something more besides.
