  Book 1: Escargot 
  Bonjour! Escargot is a beautiful French snail who wants only two things: 
  1. To be your favorite animal. 
  2. To get to the delicious salad at the end of the book. 
  But when he gets to the salad, he discovers that there's a carrot in it. And Escargot hates carrots. But when he finally tries one―with a little help from you!―he discovers that it's not so bad after all. 
  In A Book for Escargot, the standalone sequel to Escargot--written by award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author Dashka Slater--we follow a funny and charming French snail through a library to find the book of his dreams. 
  Bonjour! 
  It is moi, Escargot, your favorite French snail. 
  Today I am going on a trip to the library, where there are so many stories to choose from! 
  Stories about dog superheroes… 
  guinea pig detectives.... 
  and flamingo astronauts. 
  But sadly, none of these books is about a daring snail hero who saves the day. What is that you say? Perhaps this is the book about the snail hero? Ooh-la-la!

  Fish in a Tree meets Fighting Words in J. S. Lemon’s middle grade debut, a fiercely original story about friendship, healing, and the beauty of transformation.“What new classics should look like. A strange and beautiful tale . . . This story will spark important discussions.” —Newbery Medalist Donna Barba Higuera  Greta Goodwin’s life is changing. On top of moving to a new neighborhood far away from her best friend, Lotti, she’s also starting middle school. Greta isn’t totally ready for boys, bras, and the chaotic cafeteria. She still feels like a little kid compared to those female classmates who have suddenly matured over the summer. Girls who are now the talk of the school—unlike Greta, who would rather fly under the radar, especially after a bad haircut that makes her look less “effortlessly beautiful” and more “triangle with legs.”But at her first-ever middle-school party, a boy does pay attention to Greta. Initially it feels good. And then it feels awful. In the aftermath, Greta can’t make sense of what’s happened, let alone talk about it, even to Lotti. Impossibly, Greta’s body starts to change in a vastly different way from everyone else’s. What follows leads Greta to believe the world might finally see her as she truly is: ethereal, powerful, and free.Sensitively told, stunningly written, and surprisingly funny, Greta will transform readers just as Greta herself is transformed.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

  Mindfulness in Your Everyday Life

  The simple practice of mindfulness, which can be explained in a few words as "directing our awareness in the present moment", can help us maintain a clear mind and sharp attention, and it is discussed, explained, and analyzed from many different perspectives, uncovering most of the facets of conscious living, in our today's society.This book is all about mindful living, where two different practices are recurrently present, as a means to sustain our conscious approach: mindfulness and meditation. I am presenting simple techniques that will sustain a conscious approach to life, helping your perception to always be clear and rooted in the present moment, and transforming your approach to life into a stress-free, relaxed, and aware point of view.Even if you already know about mindfulness or you are looking to find a resource to explain it more in-depth to you, this book manages to touch on most of the aspects that are related to our mind, and to our relationship to this world, to the direct experience that we can have when we discard or transcend our Ego, and mostly, to our personal relationship with the dynamic and ever-changing present moment.I hope that everyone that reads my book will get to witness, in time, their pristine, clear, and natural state of mind, getting to gradually see the gaps of thought, through the practice of mindfulness and meditation, and finally, witnessing the unwavering mind of no-thought, which will illuminate and radically change their perception on life.
