This sweet, unabridged board book celebrates the unbreakable bond of a parent's support for a child though life's milestones, from learning to walk to the first day of school.

This inclusive picture book celebrates community, summertime, and the Fourth of July, from the dynamic duo that brought you I'll Hold Your Hand. When the cookouts are over and the pool gates are closed, families will walk from their houses, parade into town, and look to the stars. Surrounded by neighbors and friends, they will watch the fireworks show as it glitters and sparkles and paints the sky in celebration! On the Fourth of July is an energetic picture book from Maggie C. Rudd, with sparkling illustrations by Elisa Chavarri, that serves as a joyous ode to uplifting traditions.

What does it mean to be nice? Some days it takes practice, or even courage.Sometimes being nice means being patient with your little brother who doesn't know how to treat your favorite things. Being nice can mean going to your sister’s boring dance recital. Or tasting a tuna noodle casserole your grandma made―when you can’t stand tuna noodle casserole. Being nice takes practice, and that’s okay. You just keep trying, and soon you discover how GREAT it feels…to be nice!
