It’s All the Same Forest by Paige Rechtman

It’s All the same forest is a story about the everlasting bond between a girl and her cat. Written by licensed psychotherapist, Paige Rechtman, before the passing of her beloved soulmate-kitty, Squiggles, the poem took on deeper meaning after her loss.

In the wake of her grief, Paige began illustrating the original poem, letting memories and emotion guide the images that now bring the story to life. Working on this project became a deeply therapeutic act, one that helped her process her grief while cherishing the memories they shared.

This book is both a personal story and an invitation to explore your relationship with your own pet. At the end, you’ll find a guided poetry exercise to help you honor your pet by creating something from the heart.

The Troll That Was Misunderstood by Melanie Smith

This book encourages readers to embrace their differences and understand that there’s no need to hide or change just to fit in with what others consider normal. Told in playful verse, the story is designed to delight little ears and invite them to join in with the tale. It teaches young readers an important lesson: everyone needs a friend, and sometimes, a kind word or a bit of encouragement is all it takes to include someone who may feel left out. In this charming story, the creatures of the village learn that just because someone looks a little different or lives in an unusual place, it doesn’t mean they aren’t a good person. You’ll discover how a lonely troll’s life is transformed by a simple act of kindness. I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed creating it.
