My daughter, Cleo, was born with sensorineural hearing loss in her right ear. We had many questions and emotions during its initial discovery - my mama heart ached at the perceived reduction in quality of a life that I had imagined for her. I wrote this book as we found our footing in a wonderful hearing support community. It’s become more clear to me that with natural adaptability and resilience, kids like Cleo will thrive - the major learnings really lay with us as her parents.
I wrote this book about her, in hopes that in breathing this story to life, she and other little ones with Super Ears are instilled with celebration, confidence, and self-acceptance.</div><a href="https://br.blurb.com/books/11905825-cleo-s-super-ear" only_path="false" title="Visualização do livro">Visualização do livro</a>https://br.blurb.com/b/11862283Lolly and the Talisman2024-01-03T05:27:38Z2024-01-03T05:27:38Zlaylajlunahttps://br.blurb.com/user/store/laylajlunaLayla LunaLolly began her pilgrimage with the sunrise.

The twenty Splotch Monsters featured in this book are from a collection of works that husband and wife duo Kris and Steve Loya collaborated on during the spring of 2020, and was created in response to the looming pandemic and the feelings of isolation and anxiety it caused people to experience. Our aim, when creating the Stop and Smell the Flowers series, was to make other people happy and transport them to another time and place, made for both children, and children at heart to enjoy, no matter what the age.

From the author of Identity Thief and The Wright Way, Carlos Lerma offers deep, thoughtful poems as well as letters written for people who will never write back, paired with five uncomfortably honest stories from Carlos' life.
In this visually exciting installment of poems and illustrations from the mind of Carlos, Underdog Days takes you on a journey of finding yourself and accepting everyone's imperfections and personal mistakes along the way.
