Every year I spend the last few weeks of the year compiling my favorite book finds of the year. They are not always new books. Just books I discovered for the first time and really, really liked.
CHILDREN'S NON-FICTION BOOK DISCOVERIES FOR 2018:
Do Not Lick This Book by Idan Ben-Barak and Julian Frost
Min is a microbe. She is small. Very small. In
fact, so small that you'd need to look through a microscope to see her. Or you
can simply open this book and take Min on an adventure to amazing places she's
never seen before -- like the icy glaciers of your tooth or the twisted,
tangled jungle of your shirt. The perfect book for anyone who wants to take a
closer look at the world
Meditate with Me: A Step-by-Step Mindfulness Journey by Mariam Gates, illustrated by
Margarita Surnaite
This accessible and
fun guide to meditation and mindfulness is the perfect introduction for young
children. Kids will learn how to focus
on their breath, on the sensations in their body, and on the sounds around them
to help them relax, settle their busy minds, and understand their emotions.
One Wave at a Time: A Story About Grief and Healing by Holly Thompson, illustrated by
Ashley Crowley
A boy dealing with the loss of his father
describes the many waves of emotion that come with the grieving process: sad
waves, mad waves, fear waves, even happy waves. As the boy and his family learn
to adjust to life without Dad, the waves still come, but with help from
friends, they learn to cope and heal.
SPECIAL

Witch’s Flower
