    A children’s poet and an acclaimed illustrator pair “luscious rhymes and an atmospheric eeriness" in this playful tale of neighborhood battle (Publishers Weekly, starred review). When a scary old tree blooms with the most beautiful pomegranates ever seen, the neighborhood kids’ mouths water with anticipation. But the tree isn’t theirs—and it has a protector! So begins the Pomegranate War, a rollicking contest of wills between the plucky young rascals and their wry, witchy neighbor who has more than a few tricks up her sleeve.  A delightful rhyming tale that culminates in a grand Halloween surprise, The Pomegranate Witch honors classic children's literature and revels in nostalgia for free-to-roam days full of playful invention.

Introducing "Yawnimals," a collection of enchanting audio bedtime stories tailored exclusively for young children, toddlers, infants, and babies about their favorite animals. Crafted with care, these stories are designed to lull your little angels into a deep, restful slumber, leaving you with the peace of mind you deserve - in 15 minutes or less! 
    What sets "Yawnimals" apart is its unique approach. Imagine the gentle, soothing voice of a real person, tenderly narrating each tale with a downward inflection, a descending intonation, and a purposeful drawl about a cute animal that captures your child's attention and eases them into the land of dreams. The stories are recorded at a slower speech rate, featuring a diminishing pitch, a fading tone, and a decreasing melody, creating a calming atmosphere that invites tranquility and relaxation. 
    But that's not all! "Yawnimals" goes above and beyond by incorporating REAL YAWNS into the narration. Yes, you heard it right – genuine yawns that resonate with the natural rhythms of sleep, adding an authentic touch to the bedtime experience. These yawns are strategically placed and contagious, written into the story to embrace your little one with a sense of calm drowsiness. 
    Picture your child nestled in bed, listening to these magical tales while being gently guided into a state of calmness and serenity. No more battles, no more negotiations – just the pure, expectant joy of bedtime stories that effortlessly lead your little ones into a world of dreams.
