Behind the Book: The Sea Hides A Seahorse

I have always loved the ocean! I love the way the light sparkles on the water, the rhythm of the waves, and the sound of the surf. But what I love most of all is the mystery of what lies beneath its surface and how this hidden world is home to more than a million marine species, most of them still unknown to us. Still, my love of the ocean is not why I wrote my debut picture book, The Sea Hides A Seahorse. The idea for this book emerged from a misconception I formed as a small child. You...

Celebrate Rosh Hashanah with Faith Kramer

Did you know the Hebrew calendar celebrates four distinct New Years? * The most important and best-known of them is Rosh Hashanah (literally “head of the year”), observed this year from the evening of October 2 through nightfall of October 4. On Rosh Hashanah, often called the Jewish New Year, individuals attend special services to offer prayers for a year of health and prosperity and affirm their dedication to repenting their misdeeds. They also celebrate in their homes with festive meals featuring foods that are symbolically connected to these same prayers.  While customs and traditions vary across the global Jewish...

Foreword Reviews Q&A with Lauren Sánchez and Behind the Book: The Fly Who Flew to Space

Introduction by Rebekah Lovato Piatte, Developmental Editor When the Collective Book Studio first approached me with this proposal, the first thing that drew me in were Raleigh Stewart’s drawings. I loved all the detail he was able to bring in—things for kids to notice at every turn. And I loved the play on words, with the fly who flew.  Working with Lauren was great—she was friendly, open to suggestions, and we were in sync about the direction of the book. Flynn is a character for both boys and girls—showing anyone can participate—and excel—in STEM subjects. Flynn’s curiosity and aspirations are...

Making Space for Mindfulness

I discovered mindfulness over a decade ago when I joined a weekly meditation group. I’d wanted to learn more about meditation for a while, but had no idea how to get started—it felt intimidating. So, when I stumbled across a postcard advertising a meditation class only ten minutes from my home, I thought: this is my sign to finally do it!  Once I began attending the group, it didn’t take long for me to notice the benefits: I was sleeping better and definitely felt less stressed. At the time, I was working with children who were dealing with high levels...

Summer Mini Writing Quests for Teens: Dive In & Get Curious!

Summer is a great time to explore your writing in new ways. Without assignments for school, you can really let yourself write what you want, how you want — be creative. Some writers like to record what they did, others how they feel, some invent stories, some write letters, poems, song lyrics. Choose a dedicated journal, notebook, or pad of paper and let yourself find your personal writing style and interests. Remember that writing is not just for writers, just like cooking isn’t only for restaurant chefs. Everyone has something to say! Think of your writing as a habit, something...
