Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference.
A gentle story to help parents and children discuss racial injustice and empower young readers to let their inner lights shine.
Like her favorite superheroes, Eden always knew how to save the day.
That is, until one night, she sees something troubling on the television: the story of a Black man who was unjustly treated and hurt by the police. For the first time, Eden feels scared, and she's not exactly sure how to explain it. She does know one thing for sure: the dark seems much scarier now than it did before.
Eden's parents try their best to explain that she is protected and safe, but none of the things that usually soothe her work. It's only when her mother reminds Eden that people can never take away her inner light that Eden understands her most powerful tool to fight the dark.
An instant New York Times bestseller!
A loving ode to modern motherhood by Kelly Rowland and Jessica McKay.
For any child who needs a little reassurance or just to share a sweet gesture of affection, Always with You, Always with Me is a loving tribute to families that honors the work a mother does both inside and outside of the home.
Esteemed educator Jessica McKay and Grammy Award–winning artist Kelly Rowland have crafted a lyrical celebration of working moms everywhere and a soothing story for their children. As a mother gets ready to go to work, first she works on building the world for her child. Because it can sometimes be hard to be separated during the day, Mom collects some simple words that she and her child can repeat whenever they are missing each other or feeling overwhelmed:
“Always with you,
always with me,
mommy and child,
together we’ll be.”
Through books, school visits, and other future beautiful derivative projects and experiences, Butternut & Dahlia is sure to put a smile on children’s faces, plant a seed in their minds, and sparkle a little (or a lot!) of extra twinkle in their eyes.
