Together, a Forest
Joy and her peers are eager to visit a nearby forest for a class trip. But Joy's excitement quickly turns into anxiety when she is asked to choose one thing in the area for a school assignment. Seeing her classmates connecting with the natural environment, Joy discovers how each of their choices reflect the ways they relate to and interact with the world. Together, a Forest begins as an exciting journey into nature and blossoms into a meditation on how our unique personalities and ways of being help create a more vibrant and beautiful world. The forest reveals that everyone - including those of us with disabilities and neurodivergence - belong to nature. There is no one right way for a mind, body, or person to be. Perfect for classrooms and home libraries with accessible social-emotional and STEM themes, this picture book highlights the importance of interdependence, inclusion and celebrating diversity in our communities.
More Than Words
Nathan doesn’t say much. He sure has a lot on his mind, though. At school, Nathan quietly observes the diverse ways his peers communicate. Even when they’re not talking, they’re expressing themselves in all sorts of ways! Beautifully illustrated, this tender picture book moves from exploring and celebrating many different forms of expression - signing, speaking, singing, smiling, among others - to a poignant story about the search for connection and understanding. By its conclusion, Nathan learns and shows his fellow classmates the essential lesson that understanding and being mindful of one another is the greatest bridge to friendship and belonging.
