I am me ... just me.
In a world that often demands so much of each of us, even when we're little, sometimes it's important to take a moment to appreciate who we truly are. Inspired by text written by her then seven-year-old daughter, this sweet and heartfelt poem by Pamela Downs reminds children to celebrate the little things in life that make each of us unique.

The Thread Trail Adventures: Book 1 - Mystery of the Baby Bats
Siblings JJ and NoNo love adventuring in the woods near their house. When they find an injured baby bat, it’s anyone’s guess how it got there. In this new children’s book, kids will learn that through kindness and leadership, even the smallest people can make a big impact. Teaching important lessons in compassion, stewardship, and teamwork, Mystery of the Baby Bats emphasizes children's power to change the world when they work together.
Just the Ref
It’s recess, which means it’s time to play some soccer! But when nine kids show up to play, one little boy feels left out when he’s asked to be “just the ref.” What starts as a one-time gig quickly becomes a full-time job as the boy finds himself playing ref every day. But when the ref is absent from school for a few days and the soccer game falls apart, his classmates—and the ref—soon gain a new perspective on all it takes to keep the game going.
Just the Ref offers a powerful reminder that everyone has something valuable to contribute and no role is too small.
