Sanctuaries of Childhood:
Nurturing a Child's Spiritual Life
by Shea Darian
Paperback, 155 pages with resources and index
When this book first came out, I waited patiently for it to arrive and, believe me, it was worth it! I had just finished reading the first chapter on the "Sanctuary of Family Life" when my teenage daughter walked in the door from school. Besides my usual greeting, I sang her a Welcome Home song and gave her a tender hug. Although she looked at me like I had gone crazy (I sing a lot, but not always after school), I could tell she appreciated the love that poured forth from my simple gesture. This easy-to-use guide is filled with thoughtful wisdom for parents, grandparents, and caregivers of ALL faiths that want to impart the divine qualities of goodness, beauty and wisdom of creation to the young lives they touch. Filled with activities, poems, songs, stories and prayers to help children (from birth to teens) stay in touch and strengthen their ties with the spiritual world from which they came. This makes a wonderful gift for yourself and those you love!
By Stephanie Cooper, Christine Fynes-Clinton & Marye Rowling
Paperback, 192 pages
You are in for a lot of fun when you have this book in hand! It takes you through each season with appropriate toys and gifts to create, including designs and patterns for children's clothing. From wooly knitted hats to wooden toys, from Boot Gnomes to soft, cuddly dolls, you will find over a hundred treasures to make. The illustrations are simple, but convey the steps or finished project clearly. It's difficult to describe the warm and happy feeling you get when you use this book; it just makes you feel good about what you're doing!

All the Colors We Are: The Story of How We Get Our Skin Color
by Katie Kissinger, Photos by Wernher Krutein
Paperback, 32 pages
Has your child ever asked the question: Why is his/her skin a different color? Well, here is the answer! Using outstanding full-color photographs, this bilingual book showcases the beautiful diversity of human skin color. It offers young children a simple, scientifically accurate explanation of how we get the unique coloring of our skin. Understanding the human pigment melanin and how it works will free children from the myths and stereotypes associated with skin color. I found this book very enjoyable! It is a great way to introduce anti-bias and diversity issues to young children. Also included are activity suggestions for follow up in the classroom or at home. I highly recommend for ages 3 through 12.

Tails Are Not for Pulling
By Elizabeth Verdick, Illus. by Marieka Heinlen
Paperback, 34 pages with activity guide for teachers
In simple words and delightful illustrations, this book teaches the basics of kindness to animals. Pets may not have the ability to speak with words, but they can communicate. This book invites children to pay attention to the cues animals give with their barks, growls, facial expressions, purrs, and wagging tails. Throughout, children are encouraged to treat pets with respect and gentleness – because pets are for loving, after all! Excellent for young children ages 2-7.
