Doubt

Pia Valentinis Children face doubt in every part of their lives. What will I wear? How long will I have to wait? Did I do it right? Doubt is an intelligent approach for children from their own point of view that combines subtle humor with a little bit of irony to reassure the reader that we all cope with similar unknowns. Through a warm combination of colors, Pia Valentinis illustrates these common self-doubts through animals, each asking a simple question that creates a comfortable atmosphere where the reader is presented with different ways of dealing with them. Doubt is a part of life, what makes us human, and in a world where we are pressured to be perfect, it is a healthy lesson to learn that the world can be wrong, that we are at liberty to change our minds, and that it is okay to stop and question, because "I always have so many doubts . . .

ISBN 978-0-7643-6511-9

Soledad Romero Mariño, Illustrated by Mariona Cabassa

With all things that exist in the universe, when they come to an end, they start over. Nothing disappears completely; everything is transformed over and over again. When winter ends, spring sprouts. After the night, a new day dawns, and from the fruit that has fallen on the ground, a tree grows. . . . These magical cycles of the universe are represented by a simple definition and an illustration that identifies the main phases. Each example is explored through an observation to link the concept and a quote for the reader to reflect upon. So whether you are following the migration of birds or discovering the powerful sequence of the food chain, you can trace the progression of science and nature in a way to better understand our existence. Welcome to an incredible journey through infinity!

The idea behind these ‘teaching guides’ is to connect nature and its elements to the feelings and experiences children face in their everyday lives. More and more, the expectations and pressures on children, emotionally and academically, can feel stifling and confusing, and these books can be a wonderful resource to healthily sift and push through conflicts, discomforts, and new experiences to become our best selves.”

“The child protagonist is seldom seen without an important-looking black-covered book, but it’s only after arriving home that its pages can finally be opened. Amid the whir of housework and meal prep, the child slips into another world, which the artist depicts as a darkly inviting, soundless scene of stars, botanical motifs, animals, an elf, and a mermaid. Through this lovely contrast, preschoolers will understand the transportive power of reading . . . buckets of kid appeal.” —Kirkus Reviews
