How can we show others we care? One way is to utter the greeting, “Namaste.”
The words of this story introduce readers to the many meanings of Namaste—it’s “a greeting. A smile. A friendship.” And so much more. The art shows the story of a girl interacting with others as she experiences the meaning and power of namaste in her own life. Lyrical, meaningful text combined with expressive, detailed, colorful illustrations make this an engaging and sweet story for all children and grownups to appreciate and enjoy.

This month celebrates our world’s oceans—bodies of water that are vital to our survival. But the main character in this book is not very appreciative of the ocean:
Badger is distraught—the sea stands in the way of her friend, Bear. So, she confronts her enemy, and the sea replies with a deal: Badger must bring some things, and then it will let her cross. In the process of searching for something nice, something unusual, and something loud, Badger begins to appreciate the things around her and (spoiler alert) even warms to the idea of making a new friend. This heartwarming, beautifully illustrated story conveys themes of sorrow, anger, comfort, friendship, acceptance, and hope. The muted color palette pairs perfectly with Badger’s mood and the book’s overall tone. This is the kind of book you’ll want to give a big hug! I hugged my copy all the way home.
