Breathe, Sleep, Thrive
Breathing is the most essential function in life, and the very first thing your child did from the moment they were born. The way we breathe affects our sleep, emotional regulation, stress and anxiety levels, concentration and attention, learning, general health and much more. But the problem is that little attention is paid to healthy breathing as a foundation for good health. And when it's not done optimally through the nose, and airways don't develop well, our children will not sleep, learn or grow into their full potential. The earliest warning signs of poor airway development can be identified in early childhood, yet they are often dismissed as normal problems children grow out of, and so begins a downhill slope of bigger problems. These red flags include: -Painful or poor latching during infancy -Excessive swallowing of air and reflux like symptoms -Excessive drooling -Pacifier use and thumb-sucking -Enlarged adenoids and tonsils -Recurrent ear infections -Allergies and chronic

When You Wish Upon a Star: A Twisted Tale
What if the Blue Fairy wasn't supposed to help Pinocchio? This New York Times best-selling series twists another Disney classic into a harrowing story in which the Blue Fairy defies fairy law, setting off a dramatic chain of events. 'Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight . . . ' So begins the wish that changes everything--for Geppetto, for the Blue Fairy, and for a little puppet named Pinocchio. The Blue Fairy isn't supposed to grant wishes in the small village of Pariva, but something about this one awakens some long-buried flicker within. Perhaps it's the hope she senses beneath the old man's loneliness. Or maybe it's the fact that long ago, before she was the Blue Fairy, she was a young woman named Chiara from this very village, one with a simple wish: to help others find happiness. Her sister, Ilaria, always teased her for this, for Ilaria had big dreams to leave their sleepy village and become a world-renowned opera singer. The two were close, despite their
