Odonata The Flying Jewel of Maiden Grass Pond
Written by Barbara Gervais Ciancimino; Illustrated by Steve McGinnis; Edited by Susan Roberts

Odonata The Flying Jewel of Maiden Grass Pond is my first book and is relevant for children of all ages. My hope is that Odonata’s story will show that kindness is a much better alternative to bullying, as it encourages discussions among children and adults about the importance of understanding and accepting each other’s differences.

Kindness is Key
Written by Alexis Bloomer

Have you ever been picked on because you’re “different”? How did it make you feel? Have you ever picked on anyone because he or she is different? How do you think that person felt?

Kindness Is Key teaches young children about bullying. Using rhymes, Bloomer tells you what a bully is and what to do if you’re bullied or see someone else being bullied. You’ll learn the importance of accepting and learning from the differences in all of us.

Kindness Is Key promotes self-love and teaches you to apply these rhymes to your everyday life. Working together, we can prove that kindness still matters.

I Love You For You celebrates the fun a parent and child have when they embrace what makes each other different.
