Featured Titles:

Love Wars: Clash of the Parents, A True Divorce Story
In the world’s first memoir about growing up in a divorce custody battle, young Matthew must use his creativity and The Force to put an end to his parents’ fighting. Best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith called Love Wars “courageous, moving, and memorable!” Middle school English teacher Stephanie Berger said, “I stayed up past midnight finishing it. Fantastic!” Many young readers age 9-18 called Love Wars “my favorite book!”

Tummies Flip, Hearts Skip
Tummies Flip, Hearts Skip introduces young readers to the connection between body sensations and emotions, helping them understand what their feelings are trying to say. With vivid, imaginative illustrations and simple, engaging text, the book encourages children to notice how emotions—like happiness, anger, or embarrassment—show up physically, and provides strategies for self-regulation. A glossary, discussion questions, and activities at the back make it an excellent resource for read-alouds, classroom use, and family sharing. Written by a licensed clinical social worker and somatic experiencing practitioner, this title is a valuable addition to collections supporting social-emotional learning, mental health, and body awareness.

The Unofficial Guide to Conflict Resolution in Minecraft®
Set in the ever-popular world of Minecraft, this engaging guide uses familiar in-game scenarios—like squabbles over resources or dealing with “griefing”—to teach real-world conflict resolution skills. Through age-appropriate social-emotional learning concepts, readers learn how to see others' perspectives, communicate effectively, and solve problems collaboratively.
