Not only is a parent probably right down the hall, but they are also among animals and neighbors, near the rumble of cars, the twinkle of stars, and even the reassuringly humming fridge. Newbery Honor-winning author Ingrid Law has created a loving lullaby that will comfort even the most anxious of little ones, and acclaimed artist Xin Li's pictures delight with their charm and warmth.

Fall of Fire

My name is Uryana. I am thirteen cycles old, from the Baraw tribe of the Sa-Babaw peaks. One cycle ago, I was chosen to face the Serpent of Fire, the same beast that devoured my people's land and killed my father. I fought, and I survived.But survival is not peace. The Tutod has died-the eternal flame that guards our tribe, now gone. The Elders believe it is a sign. They have sent me beyond the mountains to seek answers in a land not my own. There, I find a tide that does not yield. There, I find him.I am not a king. My name is Lihum. I am thirteen cycles old, son of Datu Garab and the ruler of Laksay. The crown was never meant to be mine, but I wear it all the same. The tides have begun to rise. The Korakoa pirates haunt our waters. Something deep stirs beneath the sea, older than any of us remember. I sought wisdom. I found a girl from the mountains. A girl I have seen before. A girl who burns like a promise in the storm. And together-we may be all that's left to stop the coming flood.Recommended for young readers 9 years of age and higher. Some scenes may be emotionally intense.
Love Filled
Energy is everything. Everything we will ever be. Everything we ever were. We are all connected to everything. We know this in the beginning but somewhere along the way there becomes a disconnection. Life becomes overwhelming and we forget. Love Filled shows a young child, Christopher explaining his journey of how he came into being. An overwhelmed ten-year-old boy dealing with his emotions and learning how to navigate back to connection and inner peace. In this book we learn about getting back to the basics. What is connection? What is love? Why does there become a disconnection? How do we get back? Can we get back? All of life's pressing questions waiting to be solved, when the answer was sitting in front of us the whole time. All we had to do was stop for a second. Stop trying to make the river flow in the opposite direction. Stop over thinking what it is you are missing. Stop running around. Stop holding on to feelings that don't serve you. Stop, stop, stop. Breathe. Let it all go. Let it flow back to you. If your little one is dealing with anger or overwhelming feelings, my only hope is this book helps them to remember. And if anything at all, I hope it teaches them they can never wander too far to be able to heal.

Girl, Goddess, Queen (Standard Edition)
To hell with love, this goddess has other plans...Thousands of years ago, the gods spun a myth based on a lie. They claimed that though Persephone was to be a prize-bride for the most deserving god, Hades kidnapped her for himself. That she was just a pawn in the complicated politics of Olympus. That her mother, Demeter, was so distraught she caused the Earth to start dying. The real story is much more interesting. Persephone wasn't taken to hell: she jumped. There was no way she was going to be married off to some smug god more in love with himself than her. Now all she has to do is convince the Underworld's annoyingly sexy, arrogant and frankly rude ruler, Hades, to fall in line with her plan. A plan that will shake Mount Olympus to its very core. But consequences can be deadly, especially when you're already in hell . . .A fierce, fresh and enormously fun YA fantasy re-imagining from a growing TikTok star.
