You Can Sit With Me
You Can Sit with Me is a softhearted, back-to-school picture book that shows how much a day can shift by one person simply reaching out a hand for someone to feel more welcome.
"If you’re worried because you’re new
and you’re not sure what to do,
you can sit with me."
The simple yet profound gesture of offering someone a place to sit, just as they are, is precisely what some kids need to feel welcomed into a new or overwhelming space. Whether you're at a reading circle, a craft table, or a picnic blanket, it’s always time to demonstrate kindness.
The Picasso Curse
There were so many things Edwin Hodge didn’t know when he paid $10 for a cool poster of Kobe Bryant at the local flea market. He didn’t know that hidden within the frame of the poster was an original drawing by Pablo Picasso, one of the most famous artists in history. He didn’t know the Picasso might be worth millions of dollars. He didn’t know that kids at school were going to treat him differently, or that he would become a world famous social media superstar.
And he sure didn’t know that people would tap his phone, follow him home, break into his house, or threaten to burn it down. He didn’t know the Picasso was going to ruin his life.
