The Big Leaf Leap
The leaves are down. The rakes are out. But one girl can't do it alone. Neighborhood kids join forces to build a big, huge, enormously enormous mountain of leaves. Ready, set . . . leap! The girl wants a leaf pile to leap in. A big leaf pile, a huge leaf pile, an enormously enormous leaf pile! She rakes and rakes and rakes, but there are not enough leaves in her yard to make the leaf pile of her dreams. And she can't do it alone. She will need some help. And so it begins: one neighbor kid here, a couple of neighbor kids there, others from down the street. They all have leaves to contribute as they build a pile together in a nearby vacant lot. Beautiful leaves from so many trees: maple, oak, ginkgo, aspen, birch, locust, sumac, catalpa. Beautiful children from so many families, all in pursuit of a single goal. The result is a dream come true. And now what? These kids know just what to do. In The Big Leaf Leap, playful phrasing evokes fall's crisp air, warm sun, and rustling leaves. Energetic illustrations--with characters based on the illustrator's own neighborhood kids--depict the satisfying effort of new friends working together to create something wonderful. A deep, soft, crunchy, springy leaf pile. A tall, wide leaf pile. A big, huge, enormously enormous leaf pile! And when all the work is done, it's time to play. To count down together. To leap.

Let’s All Shout It Out
I believe fear is so primal that many folks don't give it a second thought. They figure 'if I'm supposed to be feeling it, there's a reason, right?'. And while they are not entirely wrong, acknowledging where our fear comes from, what it's actually trying to tell us (about a situation or about ourselves) is far more important. It's the necessity for this shadow work that led me to write Let's All Shout It Out (and the entire Rainbow of Feelings series). This book seeks to give your child (and you) a starting point for identifying the root of fear when they experience it. If we know why we fear it, whatever "it" may be, we can better dismantle our knee jerk reactions and grow kindness instead.
