We can learn a lot about joy from a dog. At least, that's what Abuela tells Nico when he visits her and her dog, Kiki. Nico's not so sure. Kiki doesn't have to deal with schoolwork. Or chores. Or early betimes! But after spending an afternoon at Abuela's house, Nico accepts her challenge to be more like Kiki. Nico soon finds that Kiki may be on to something after all as he discovers the power of paying attention to small moments. Our brains are wired to focus on negative things. They're excellent at noticing what's not going well. Finding Joy reminds us to pause and practice looking for the good in everyday moments we often overlook. It's a beautiful addition to your home or school social-emotional library. Finding Joy is part of the Growing Hearts & Minds Series.

And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room--to the picture of the three little bears sitting on chairs, to the clocks and his socks, to the mittens and the kittens, to everything one by one--the little bunny says goodnight. One of the most beloved books of all time, Goodnight Moon is a must for every bookshelf and a time-honored gift for baby showers and other special events.

From a tiny seed to a huge, fold-out bloom, the transformative life cycle of a sunflower plays out in this bold read-aloud. A Sibert Honor Book! A Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book! To understand how a seed becomes a sunflower, you have to peek beneath the soil and wait patiently as winding roots grow, a stalk inches out of the earth, and new seeds emerge among blooming petals. "A seed falls, And settles into the ground, And the Sun shines, And the rain comes down, And the seed grows..." Leading up to a striking fold-out spread of a full-grown sunflower, the lively, bold illustrations in A Seed Grows offer a close-up view of each step of the growth cycle.  Additional material in the back of the book explains the science of plant life cycles, and goes into more detail on the ways in which flowers and seeds depend on other creatures.
