Bondi & Poppy Help Heal the Planet

An Australian koala and a California bear gently introduce children to the impact of climate change and offer everyday practices to help save both animal and human habitats. Written in rhyme format, Bondi & Poppy Help Heal the Planet is a tender and sometimes playful conversation starter for even the youngest of readers, addressing the realities of global warming while offering hope and encouraging action. Be mindful of waste, of not using too much Like water and lights and paper and such. Use your great brain and walk when you can Talk with your family to make a smart plan. Author Judith A. Proffer resides in Southern California. In late 2019 she left behind a particularly challenging fire season in Los Angeles for a three week holiday in Australia, quickly discovering that she had entered the country's worst fire season in recent memory. The region she spent Christmas Day that year (Kangaroo Island) was decimated by fire just days after she left. Bondi & Poppy is her response to the ferocity of the back to back fire seasons she experienced that year. She is the co-author of When We Stayed Home (a tribute to how young children navigated big feelings and cheered themselves on during the upheaval of pandemic) and Broadway Baby. Illustrated by award-winning artist Yoko Matsuoka.

What Does It Take To Hope? Everything. When Nashville songwriters Mark D. Sanders and Tia Sillers composed I Hope You Dance, they unleashed a breathtaking piece of music for the ages that would go on to win coveted awards and grateful hearts. A phenomenon in the music industry in 2000 and named one of the Songs of The Century, the Lee Ann Womack recording has been at the top of graduation and wedding playlists for over a decade. It has become an anthem for hope and survivorship. It has been embraced both as celebration and comfort. It was even performed at poet Maya Angelou's memorial. In his tender film, acclaimed director John Scheinfeld (U.S. vs. John Lennon) explores the power of one song to impact lives in a profound, meaningful and sometimes startling ways. Curated from the stories seen in the film, Co-Producer Judith A. Proffer documents the birth and life of the song I Hope You Dance, including four captivating real life stories of faith and hope. A homeless woman who finds refuge in dance. A quadriplegic whose faith restores her spirit and physical being. A father who navigates a parent's worst nightmare. And a reluctant bride who ultimately finds her way to joy. Featuring thoughtful commentary by Joel Osteen, Brian Wilson, Vince Gill, Lee Ann Womack and Graham Nash with a foreword by Tim Storey. I Hope You Dance: The Power of Spirit and Song is a wondrous look at the possibilities that await when, given the chance to sit it out or dance, we choose to dance.
