About Ada Finds Her Heart Smile:

What do you do when your best friends suddenly leave you out?
Ada wonders if her chirp is too loud, if she’s speaking too much in class—if she’s just too much. But is staying quiet really the answer?

Ada, a bright and curious little bird, loves her life on the African savanna, filled with acacia trees, watering holes, and all her animal friends. Everything is perfect, until one day it isn’t. When her two best friends start ignoring her, Ada begins to doubt herself. Unsure of what to do, she turns to her wise friend, Crispo the Rhino, for guidance. With his help—and a bit of detective work—Ada discovers that being herself and using her voice is more important than she ever imagined.

In this book, children will be inspired to:
• Trust their inner voice as they navigate the ebb and flow of friendships.
• Discover self-esteem, resilience and confidence from within.
• Find a balance between fitting in and following their heart.

Ada Finds Her Heart Smile is a heartwarming early chapter book for ages 6-10, perfect for young readers transitioning from picture books. Fans of The Adventures of Sophie Mouse, Ivy & Bean and Kate DiCamillo’s stories will love this empowering tale of self-discovery.

Roy The Koi: The Fish Who Lived Forever by Joseph McCarthy & Holly DiBella-McCarthy

What if a magical fish could teach us how to say goodbye? Roy the Koi: The Fish Who Lived Forever is a tender, all-ages picture book that helps children—and the adults who love them—navigate the journey of love, loss, and healing through the timeless power of story.

In this beautifully illustrated tale inspired by a real koi, Roy brings joy, magic, and comfort to everyone who visits his peaceful pond. As he swims beneath the surface, he becomes more than a fish—he becomes a friend, a symbol of hope, and a keeper of wishes. But one day, Roy stopped swimming, and the pond grew still.

Told through the eyes of a boy who grew up with Roy, this story gently guides readers—young and old—through the joy of emotional connection, the sadness of saying goodbye, and the healing that comes when we share memories out loud. As the townspeople begin to share their memories, they discover that Roy’s spirit never truly left. His story lives on—because stories, like love, never die.

Perfect for ages four and older, this heartwarming story is ideal for:
families navigating the loss of a pet or loved one
teachers and counselors introducing grief and healing to young children
anyone who believes in the power of stories to comfort, connect, and heal
With luminous illustrations and a message of lasting love, Roy the Koi is a must-have for readers who treasure picture books about love, loss, and memory.

“Roy, the magical koi fish, teaches a small town how to treasure memories and find comfort after loss in this heartwarming children’s picture book.” HMD

About Summer Vacation: No Internet, No Cell Phones, Huge Problem:

School is out and summer vacation is finally here. But a construction mishap has left the homes on Lodgepole Lane without internet or phone service, and the repairs will take three months to fix–the entire summer!

He offers to help his new friends fix this internet problem themselves, and this determination leads the three kids to do things they never considered before. Soon enough they’re riding bikes, going to the library, fishing, building camp fires, and all other sorts of adventures.

It seems the rest of the summer will pass like this. That is until Harry spots a man burying something in the woods. Something that looks like a human body. Suddenly all four youths find themselves in danger, and they must use these newly acquired outdoor-skills to not only save their own lives, but to bring this criminal to justice.
