The Little Flower, The Honey Eater, and The Little Bee
by Moira StarkHave you ever felt a deep knowing in your heart? A certainty that only you can feel? A sense that you have a unique purpose in life, a gift that only you can give? It may all seem very improbable to you. Your circumstances may be more than challenging and you may ask yourself countless times what your gift is, and how and where you are being called to give it to the world… What would it be like if you realised that all the difficulties you face in life are only put there to help you grow into your uniqueness? What would it be like if you knew, and believed, how much your life is interwoven with the lives of many others, and how much these others are assigned to help you release your gift into the world, just as you are assigned to help them release their gifts into the world? That knowledge would be truly wonderful, wouldn’t it? And just maybe, this knowledge is indeed wonderfully true!

by Riel NasonWhen you're a quilt instead of a sheet, being a ghost is hard! An adorable picture book for fans of Stumpkin and How to Make Friends with a Ghost.Ghosts are supposed to be sheets, light as air and able to whirl and twirl and float and soar. But the little ghost who is a quilt can't whirl or twirl at all, and when he flies, he gets very hot. He doesn't know why he's a quilt. His parents are both sheets, and so are all of his friends. (His great-grandmother was a lace curtain, but that doesn't really help cheer him up.) He feels sad and left out when his friends are zooming around and he can't keep up. But one Halloween, everything changes. The little ghost who was a quilt has an experience that no other ghost could have, an experience that only happens because he's a quilt . . . and he realizes that it's OK to be different.
