Wonderful!

A Mighty Girl's Pick of the Day is perfect for celebrating International Women's Day all year round: She Persisted Around The World: 13 Women Who Changed History" by Chelsea Clinton. This beautifully illustrated picture book tells the true stories of thirteen pioneering women who refused to be silenced, persevered in the face of adversity, and shaped history all across the globe. In science, sports, the arts, activism, and more, these women never took no for an answer, and always, inevitably and without fail, persisted.

With short profiles of women such as Kate Sheppard, Marie Curie, Viola Desmond, Caroline Herschel, Wangari Maathai, and Malala Yousafzai, this book is packed with pioneering role models who shaped history all across the globe. With vivid artwork by Alexandra Boiger, this inspiring book shows readers that no matter what obstacles may be in their paths, they shouldn't give up on their dreams. Persistence is power.

Now Available: Essence of Our Humanity: Portraits of My Beloved Psychiatric Patients, by Nancy Johnson

Description:
In the early 1980s, Nancy Johnson served as a nurse in a Louisiana psychiatric hospital where she grew to care deeply for her patients. The experience deepened her faith, and taught her valuable lessons about life, the fragility and resilience of the human spirit, and the healing power of a forest path. In this small book with a big heart, you'll meet Nancy's patients and, maybe even, come to love them, too.

Now available! The first of the Ardea Herodias Books "Collected Wisdom Series," The Golden Rule.

This is an illustrated tale of a kindness that spreads through a wintry night. Woven throughout are brief versions of "the golden rule" as interpreted by many different faiths and traditions from around the world—just enough to spark further thought and family discussion.
