​📚 Books

• ​It's Diwali​
  ​By Kabir & Surishtha Sehgal (Illustrated by Archana Sreenivasan)
  ​
  Count up to ten and back down again to the tune of “One, Two, Buckle My Shoe” while learning about the traditions that make Diwali a fun-filled festival. Enjoy our animated video.
  ​
• ​I Speak Up​
  By Cheri J. Meiner (Illustrated by Penny Weber)​
  ​​
  Through simple text and engaging, realistic illustrations, young children learn when, why, and how to speak up: in order to share feelings, wants, and interests; to say thank you and ask for help; and to offer kind words and feel a sense of belonging.
  ​
• ​Home Is Window​
  By Stephanie Parsley Ledyard (Illustrated by Chris Sasaki)​
  ​​
  It's okay to make a mistake. A mistake is an adventure in creativity, a portal to discovery. A paint smudge becomes the face of a bunny, a crumpled ball of paper turns into a lamb's fleecy coat--celebrate the oops in life.
