The Never-Ending Hug, won First Place in the FCWC Picture Book Contest for 2020!
“I never want to let you go.” How many parents have said this to their children? How many have actually acted on it? The Never-Ending Hug paints a beautiful picture of a mother who never lets go and changes her entire family through one, heartfelt, never-ending hug.
A mother’s love is the fiercest of all, and the mama in this story is no exception. When she starts hugging her newborn son that very first day, she never stops. All through school, college, marriage, children; she is always there hugging him, expressing her love. This physical picture of a mother’s love for her child has the potential to reach young children through fun, playful drawings of a mother being dragged around by her son to every outing and through every experience. But the deeper figurative picture has the possibility of reaching adults who have experienced and treasure this deepest of human loves. The Never-Ending Hug is sure to move readers of all ages and become a fast favorite to many.
A book about geometry that is fun, understandable and makes “plane” sense! The Prideful Parallelogram, breaks down the attributes of parallelograms through a humorous main character who learns the value of humility, friendship and togetherness. Perfect for the elementary classroom, this book is jam packed with key geometric terms and easily helps students differentiate between the various parallelograms.
In the story, Parallelogram is infatuated with himself. He thinks he is the only two-dimensional shape with his exact features and refuses to indulge any other shape’s suggestions to the contrary. Square and Rhombus both try to convince him that they, too, are parallelograms, but he ignores their persuasive drawings and descriptions. After Rectangle comes to him, the doubt finally begins to cloud his arrogance and he sees the truth. In the end, he admits that the other shapes are, in fact, parallelograms and he invites them to join him in his regular Boast-A-Thon, where they celebrate their uniqueness together. A great story about geometry, but also about acceptance.
