BUTTERFLIES KEEP FLYING
Sometimes, the gentle butterfly imagines what it might be like to be other creatures . . . bigger, stronger, louder animals; those who don’t have fragile wings, who don’t have to fly around all day. But when she stops daydreaming and starts thinking about how her wings carry her through life's challenges, the butterfly reminds herself of the incredible strength within her colorful, breakable wings.
This book was written to honor my friend Ella, and other "butterfly children," who suffer from a painful skin disease known as EB. A portion of profits from the book are donated to help EB families. Click below to meet Ella and learn more.
LET'S COUNT & MOVE!
In this unique numbers book, children are encouraged to count the creatures of planet Bloop and then imitate their movements.
The story counts from one to ten. The actions start out simple, like reaching hands overhead and flapping arms like a bird. Eventually, the movements become more involved, tapping toes and jumping up and down.
With every turn of the page children will delight in the lively characters and easy movements that accompany the rhythmic, rhyming text.

NO MORE SLOOPING, SARA SUE!
Sara Sue’s favorite food is soup, but she makes a lot of noise while she eats. Her parents ask her to eat quietly, but Sara Sue just can't help her sloppy, slurpy, slooping sound. When her mom threatens to quit making soup, Sara Sue tries her hardest to stop the slooping.
