@sheebakay. When Alma’s antsy aunts pitch in while her parents are away, chores take over ‘til Alma turns them into mitzvahs, good deeds, and a Sabbath meal not to be missed. For all families, & those welcoming Jewish Shabbat. #PBPitch. #C. #SEL. #L.

@sheebakay. Can youngest runner make it to All Stars without lucky Slugs Bunny in his bag? But Slugs won’t budge ‘til Simon promises to form Carrot League with him. Even bunnies deserve baseball. Friendship & all abilities level the playing field. #PBPitch. #SEL. #DIS.

@SheebaKay. "My family visits cemeteries like others go to the mall," Simon says. Grandpa finds it peaceful & Simon sees his point after he gets to "know" deceased relatives he never met in "Sundays at the Cemetery." [#PBPitch. #SEL on loss, memories. #CBA, #CBI,#12x12]

@SheebaKay. When Shrieky Bear bursts out of hibernation to visit The Museum of Natural People, all's well until Sister gets lost. This POV reversal brings culture to life & listening to an art form for a famously curious bear. [#PBPitch. SEL activities.CBA,CBI,12x12

@SheebaKay. Thanks Virginia and Jilliane, for news and reveal of the River of Dust book - it's gorgeous and intriguing! Sheila

#PBPitch. #SheebaKay. Good luck all. May the force & momentum keep you going and writing even more great books for kids!
#PBPitch. #SheebaKay. THE MAGIC ELIXIR. Burr-fever in Fall has befallen Shrieky Bear’s village. He convinces Elder Bear Wanda to share a rare elixir, & faces snow drifts as he climbs over scary mountains to deliver it. This timeless, timely story encourages courage. #L.
#PBPitch. #SheebaKay. Alma’s bossy aunts take over when her parents must travel. She learns work is more fun when you attach a mitzvah (good deed) to it. A busy week ends with parents home for Shabbat & Alma realizing the best gift of all, family, doesn’t come wrapped. #OWN #I

#SheebaKay. #PBPitch. SHRIEKY BEAR LEARNS TO SLEEP. Hibernation denier, staller-in-chief won't stop playing until he learns "Bearfulness" to embrace deep sleep. Sun shivers, Sky snows, & scary shadows fade in a lyrical bedtime story that includes calming activities. #L.#I.

#PBPitch SHRIEKY BEAR, MUSEUM DETECTIVE. The Museum of Natural People is a hit until Sister Squeaky gets lost in the dioramas. Will Shrieky's sharp eye and sympathetic ear help find her? Safety first is learned inventively in Bearfulness story 3. #SheebaKay. #PBPitch. #C
