Fen’s Drop of Gray Brian Wray, illustrated by Shiloh Penfield

Fen’s story illustrates for preadolescents affected by depression that they are not alone, and encourages finding ways to cope Children will be inspired to open up about their feelings and seek help from parents, teachers, and caregivers One tiny drop of gray overtakes Fen’s whole world, demonstrating how quickly feelings of sadness can turn into something more serious

“In Fen’s Drop of Gray, author Brian Wray sensitively addresses the complex topic of overwhelming sadness. In a touching story that speaks directly to the hearts and minds of young children, little Fen teaches that even in the face of difficult feelings, we can find our way back to ‘beauty’ and ‘color.’ A wonderful book to help children cope.” —Michelle Witkin, PhD

Fen’s Drop of Gray sends a powerful message about childhood depression and how parents can help their little ones learn to cope. When Fen notices a drop of gray in her beloved paints, she can’t seem to stop it from spreading. Before long the gray is everywhere, and Fen no longer enjoys doing what she loves the most. With a little encouragement from her mother, Fen finds a way to put the colors back in her world and begin enjoying life again.

I Am Odd, I Am New Benjamin Giroux, illustrated by Roz MacLean

Featuring a foreword by the National Autism Association, this extraordinary picture book shows readers the world through the eyes of a boy with autism Children will be reassured that everyone is different, and that different is a quality we should all embrace Written by a 10-year-old boy on the autism spectrum, this Schiffer Kids by Kids title is part of our program designed to create books by kids for kids

Excerpt from the foreword—The truth is we are all odd, which is just another way of saying unique. Celebrate it, share it, and then watch the world grow. Because at the National Autism Association, we also have a saying: No one has ever made a difference in the world by being the same.

Through the eyes of 10-year-old Benjamin Giroux, being odd is different, and different is a good thing. This is what the then fifth-grader hoped to convey in his poem, beginning every few sentences with “I am,” about what it is like to live with autism. Inspired by a school assignment, Benjamin’s raw and emotional words poured out onto the page, but when he feared they were not any good, his parents shared the poem with friends and family. Little did they know that it would go viral and end up inspiring thousands of strangers who identified with him to share their support. Now for the first time, Benjamin's iconic poem, “I Am Odd, I Am New,” comes to life in this lovingly illustrated picture book with a foreword written by the National Autism Association. So whether you know the poem, or it is new to you, discover how Benjamin’s honesty will reassure children of all ages that it’s okay to be different.

“At first, we felt sad and hurt that he feels isolated, alone, misunderstood, and odd at school,” Giroux said. “As the poem went on, we realized that he understands that he’s odd and that so is everyone else in their own way, which is what Ben wants everyone to embrace.” —Sonny Giroux, Benjamin’s father, Today.com

Magic happens when we all clap together. Clap on the 2 and 4 encourages parents and children to create that magic together. Across all styles of music, some people clap on one beat while others clap on another, but we should all be clapping on the second and fourth. If we can come together on something so small, maybe we can come together on some bigger things as well. Children will learn the basics of clapping and be encouraged to try clapping on different beats. But, when it’s time to hit the dance floor, it’s important to always clap on the 2 and the 4.

Fred Paronuzzi & Mariana Ruiz Johnson Is it a wordless book? Almost, but not completely: the only words in this picture book are, in fact, onomatopoeia! Page after page, we follow a child during his/her daily routine: waking up in the morning, having breakfast, going to school, and then playing during school break, taking a nap after lunch, going to the swimming pool and back home. Every illustration is crowded with all the things going on and introduces us to the noises of everyday life. But there is a special moment when you can switch off all the noises and enter a completely different world. That time comes whenever you open a book . . .

In these words, children will be given a window into the mind of this great artist and the great joy and happiness her imaginary friend brought to her during times of struggle. Along with biographical information about Frida Kahlo’s childhood and her later work, The Two Fridas is a celebration of Frida Kahlo, her culture, and the magical, joyful, secret-filled friendship she shared and later captured in her painting.
