What a joy to develop the educator guide for this beautiful new picture book about breathing through the hard stuff and letting go of perfection. Thank you @lizziebrooks.bsky.social for the opportunity! #pblit #educatorguide #shamelesspromotion
Educators! I love you for all you do for kids. I'm in awe of your abilities & hard work. ⭐️ Please use this educator guide along with Imperfectly Perfect Posey: A Wobbly Yoga Story. Children will learn about effort over perfection, regulating big feelings, breath work, moving their bodies, & more!

Hear all about How a Bear Became a Book by @annettepimentel.bsky.social, illustrated by Faith Pray. Annette's words and Faith's art work together seamlessly to create a unique and beautiful story, much like the collaboration between Milne and Shepard.

Stories Are the Heart of the World
Award-winning Indigenous author Laurel Goodluck weaves an intertribal celebration of traditions and stories that help Indigenous children—and all children—understand who they are as they enter and discover the world in this tender picture book.When we begin our lives, stories help us understand who we are. Drawing on tribal Nations’ traditions including Mandan-Hidatsa and Navajo/Diné, this lyrical picture book carries us through the milestones of a beloved child’s life, from birth and their first laugh to entering young adulthood and understanding their place in the community and the world. Each ceremony that marks a special moment comes with a story—and each story reminds us of the beauty and responsibility to the land we call home, the powerful ancestors who came before us, and the amazing people we can grow up to be. An Indigenous author-illustrator duo, the award-winning Laurel Goodluck and rising star Nicole Neidhardt, have gorgeously captured the rituals and stories that shape our lives.
