The Circle of Hugs
Written by Heather Cosimo; Illustrated by Hiru Kariyawasam
A children’s picture book showcasing the positive impact and legacy of giving and receiving hugs throughout a lifetime. A young girl wants a hug from a loved one as she is experiencing a wide range of emotions. She is pictured being left out by friends, receiving an award and waiting at a bus stop. She treasures the hugs she shares with her mom and realizes she won’t always physically be there with her. Memories of her mom are woven in and felt deeply throughout her life. The young girl grows into an adolescent going away to school, a young woman traveling, a middle aged woman with her own family and eventually old age with an expanding family tree. The circle continues on as she recognizes how her mom’s hugs are part of her wherever she goes, and spread each time she hugs someone else. There is the recognition of how the hugs are healing, strengthening, and emotionally regulating. Many connections are made emotionally, mentally, physically, psychologically and spiritually. The eternal power of a hug bridges the gap between loved ones who are leaving for the day, longer, or have passed on. It highlights the meaningful power of memories and feelings that can be processed internally, and then shown externally through hugging. This book encapsulates the circle of learning, letting go, nurturing and growing socially and generationally. It is a story connecting the body, mind and spirit. One filled with hope and loss depicting mourning and moving forward. It displays the faithful ties and bonds we hold on to with loved ones, a way to honor them and ourselves in the past, present and future.

Misnamed, Misdiagnosed, Misunderstood: Recognizing and Coping with NVLD (nonverbal learning disorder) from Childhood through Adulthood
Written by Linda Karanzalis, MS, BCCS
Does your child find it hard to communicate? … Could it be NVLD?
Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NLD or NVLD) is a learning disability characterized by poor visual, spatial, and organizational skills. As well as incredible difficulty processing nonverbal cues. The name “Non-Verbal Learning Disorder” suggests that those affected have trouble speaking. However, this is not the case with NVLDers usually having above-average intelligence and firm mastery of complex vocabulary and language.
But the vast majority of human communication is non-verbal — body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. Those with NVLD have trouble interpreting this non-verbal language and must rely on words alone to understand what others mean, which can lead to difficulties.Adult Books:

Fini: The Beauty of a Broken Shell
Written by Melitta Santos; Illustrated by El Creativo; Edited by John Fox
A bestselling Paraguayan children’s fable shares the power of inner beauty… Now available in English!
A young turtle’s perceived flaw uncovers her kindness to others and teaches her the importance of self-love.
When young Fini the turtle takes a fall in the beautiful forests of Paraguay, the discovery of her broken shell leaves her feeling ugly and self-conscious. Who will want to be friends with her now? She seeks help from the woodland creatures who introduce her to animals who might fix her. Kindly Boris the tapir tries to cover it up with a too-big aquatic plant. Fini is patient while painfully shy Tom the Armadillo is coaxed out of his shell to suggest coconut shells for the turtle, but they are too small.
Then Bea the bee has Fini meet Ana the spider who weaves magical webs of beautiful lace. After waiting a week with her new friends, Fini is given a stunning ñandutí, a bright and beautiful fabric with designs more beautiful than the forest flowers around them. Fini feels more elegant than ever, and the spider explains that the magic of the ñandutí is that it reflects the inner beauty of its wearer. The kind turtle realizes that having a broken shell or even a beautiful ñandutí is not what’s important, what matters is our heart and what the people around us see inside.
A precious story that shares with young readers a glimpse into Paraguayan culture, values that will serve them in life, and the courage to chase their dreams.

Crisanta Knight: The Severance Game: BOOK TWO in The Crisanta Knight Series
Written by Geanna Culbertson; Edited by Pearlie Tan and Olivia Swenson
A lot of questions ran through my head as I desperately clung to the roof of a magic train crossing over a gaping canyon. Like: How did I get here? What could I have done to avoid this fate? And, did I remember to shave my underarms before coming on this quest?
But even after taking on a witch in a gingerbread house, bloodthirsty actors, and a whole mess of magic hunters and other fairytale shenanigans, the biggest, most pressing question pulsing through my brain as my fingers started to slip and my enemy bore down on me was this:
Could I really trust the person whose life I’d ruined to keep me from falling?
With antagonists closing in, inner demons threatening to consume me, and vivid nightmares chewing up my soul every time I shut my eyes, I was running out of options.
I knew the moment to decide whether or not I could truly trust any of my friends was fast approaching. But my head and heart were stuck. For just like the precarious position I now found myself in, the pain of holding onto the path I’d chosen thus far was outmatched only by the worry I had over (gulp) letting it go . . .

Crisanta Knight: The Liar, The Witch, & The Wormhole: BOOK FOUR in The Crisanta Knight Series
Written by Geanna Culbertson; Edited by Pearlie Tan and Olivia Swenson
There’s no place like home. And maybe that’s a good thing. The two homes I know—my school and my fairytale castle in the kingdom of Midveil—aren’t what they used to be.
With my friends by my side and the aid of a new mentor for magic, I thought I was ready to fight the antagonists who planned to take over the realm of Book and destroy all its protagonists. Unfortunately, the universe had other plans that I didn’t see coming.
And that’s saying a lot for a girl who can see the future.
On our quest to find the missing Fairy Godmother Paige Tomkins, my friends and I would be transported to an array of magical lands. From the horrors of Sleepy Hollow and shores of Neverland, to the Wizard of Oz’s front door—we were in for one dangerous, bizarre foe and setting after another. And yet, they would be no stranger than my own world. Because thanks to a brewing common character rebellion in Book, relentless magic hunters, and the people I trusted most turning against me, the world I once knew was a thing of fairytales past.

Crisanta Knight: Inherent Fate: BOOK THREE in The Crisanta Knight Series
Written by Geanna Culbertson; Edited by Pearlie Tan and Olivia Swenson
I had learned a lot in the last couple of days. I’d figured out how to defeat a fairytale villain with a Toyota 4Runner, how to surf on furniture (à la Aladdin and his magic carpet), and how to confront my wicked step-grandmother. But these bizarre lessons were only just the beginning.
If I was to overcome the obstacles in my path, I had plenty of learning left to do—about myself, and about my enemies. Between Nadia the queen of villains, and the leader of the Fairy Godmothers, I was in for a lot of trouble in this final phase of our quest to alter our fates. Separated from our friends, Daniel and I had to work together to traverse the kingdom of Alderon and evade the antagonists who were trying to destroy us.
Moreover, we had to do it while figuring out whether or not we could truly be friends. Not an easy sell when I was prophesized to put an end to his girlfriend. Can you say awkward?
With our mission drawing to a close, my significance to Nadia, my relationship with Natalie Poole, and my magical power were about to be revealed. But among these great truths, little did I know I was on the verge of discovering a strength that would be infinitely more powerful—one that had been inside me all along . . .
