Through the intricate art of paper collage, Megan Fullmer Perry's The Overlook Book invites children and adults alike to explore diverse perspectives and engage in meaningful conversations about friendship, love, and kindness.

The Overlook Book: Change Your Perspective, Change the World encourages readers to see things from a different perspective in a very literal way. Showing scenes from one viewpoint and then pivoting to an aerial view helps readers understand what is really going on in each scene and what vital details we might be missing with our limited view. Author and illustrator Megan Fullmer Perry's colorful artwork is created using paper collages, so the images have a degree of depth, shadow, and texture from the layers of paper that mirror the layers of our understanding. The Overlook Book invites readers to open their minds to new perspectives and explores concepts of friendship, family, support, love, inclusion, peace, and kindness.

A guided journal for mothers-to-be, providing space to hear your inner voice and transition through each stage of the journey more connected to your pregnancy, your baby, and your evolving self. Pregnancy is a time like no other, a season of limbo: the baby is here but not here. We enter a dreamy phase between being and becoming, suspended in wonder with amazement of what we are creating and curiosity for who we are carrying. We can get so caught up in the new life growing within us-distracted with facts and logistics, shoulds and shouldn'ts-that we might easily forget to acknowledge the other transformation taking place as well: the redefining of our own identity. With a modern, minimalist design, 9 Months of Wonder is designed to help you to document the liminal space between here and there while softening into the season you're in. In these journal pages, you'll find a safe place to record and process your experiences, reflect on the ups and downs, move through fears, and honor the metamorphosis taking place in you as you give birth to the new life of your child and the new parts of yourself.

"As parents, we want our children to take responsibility for their schoolwork, their chores, and their choices. We want them to grow into independent adults, but when we see them struggling, we sometimes have a tendency to step in and problem-solve, telling them exactly what to do or even doing things for them ourselves. The problem is the more controlling we are with our children, the more out of control they feel. When our children feel out of control, problems big and small follow--from more tantrums in thwarted toddlers to a higher risk of drug and alcohol use in adolescence. So how do we support our children's autonomy while maintaining boundaries and not losing our minds in the process? From clinical psychologist Emily Edlynn, PhD, comes a flexible parenting framework that can apply to every family and every parental relationship. With Autonomy-Supportive Parenting, you can build trust in your child and trust in yourself."--
