If Our World Was White…
Written and illustrated by jjmarkatt

What would happen if our world was a single color?
Would the sun still shine bright and warm the sky? Could you see the trees sway in the breeze?

If Our World was White… is based on a toddler’s unique perspective that color not only makes our world a visual delight but also gives it other dimensions including motion, emotion, sensation and comfort.

Color is an integral part of life.

If Our World was White… attempts to convey this importance and equality of color to young readers by asking them what would happen if the world we live in was monochromatic.
This picture book is designed as an interactive book that encourages questions and dialogue between the reader and the inquisitive young audience.

“After Potty Training Comes Private Training”: with Private Duke and Daisy Wears
Written by Linda Fratantoni; Illustrated by Cynthia Oswald

Join Private Duke and Daisy Wears as they share their basic “private training” tips.

Everyone’s body is special, and young children need to learn they are in charge of their body, especially their private parts. Through rhyming verse and beautifully illustrated locations from the everyday life of preschoolers, Private Duke and Daisy Wears remind kids that their bodies are unique gifts and they are in charge of learning how to keep their bodies safe and healthy.

Private Duke and Daisy know their private parts have an important job to do (go potty) and promise to respect and protect them by never letting anyone else touch them.

Using charming characters, a clever military theme, and catchy rhymes, “After Potty Training Comes Private Training” offers a simple message of love, respect, and protection that will help foster a healthy sense of self-worth, a positive body image, and a strong foundation for future safety discussions.
