“This isn’t a book. It’s a smooch in disguise.
(Just because you’re my absolute favorite—that’s why.)
It’s a smooch that just perfectly brightens your day.
I want you to know I designed it that way.”

This may look like a book, but it’s really a peck you get to plant on your sweetie, even when you can’t give one in person. It’s a smooch you can tuck into their suitcase when they’re going on a big trip or send by mail if they live far apart. Adorable illustrations of squirrel sweethearts and fun-loving rhymes help you tell your partner how special they are. It’s a unique, flirty gift, packed with kisses that never wear out.

“I miss you and I love you. I know I always will. And even though you aren’there now, I feel you everywhere, still.” 

What do you do with that love when someone isn’t here to give it to? Everywhere, Still is a book about missing someone. It’s a book about loss and grief—whether that loss is permanent or temporary. And it’s a reminder that there is always a way to stay close with the people who are biggest in our hearts, no matter how far across space and time they may be. 

Following a young girl on her own journey through loss, these words offer children the language to express emotions they may be experiencing. Read them to a child when a grandparent or loved one has passed, a parent is living or serving abroad, a dear friend has moved away, or a pet is very much missed. 

These vibrant, stylish notebooks are for her words—for her stories, her dreams, and every one of her plans. Featuring contemporary designs and beautiful cover vignettes, Her Words composition notebooks are an inspiring space to capture today’s moments, tomorrow’s goals, and all of the life that happens in between. 

Featuring a cheerful lemon motif, this notebook is a reminder to give your dreams and curiosities the space to grow into something wonderful. 

• A perfect gift for back to school, office, birthdays, or just because
• Features metallic accents on the cover and lay-flat binding for writing ease
• Printed with soy inks on FSC®-certified paper

“It’s almost time for falling asleep. Here’s one more book… will you read it with me?

What was your favorite part of today? Will you share a bit about it… before we turn the page?”

More than a book, this is a bedtime ritual of comfort and connection. It’s a quiet place for little ones to process the day and put it away. When parents or caregivers open the pages, they will be guided in creating a nighttime conversation that will settle young minds and bodies. The words will also walk readers through bedtime meditations for toddlers, helping kids focus on breathing, snuggling up, and feeling safe and loved before falling asleep.

Each page is an invitation to begin a brand-new discussion with a little one every night—whether you work through big emotions the day sparked or any anxious feelings around bedtime. As a result, this book is never the same two nights in a row—it will change as the days change and grow as a child grows.

Gift this reassuring book to celebrate a birthday, a baby shower, a holiday, or to welcome the back-to-school season.

“This isn’t a book. It’s a hug in disguise. (I thought you could use a little surprise.) The feeling you got when you opened it up? That feeling’s from me. (It’s a whole lot of love.)”

This might look like a book, but it’s really a hug you get to give to connect from any distance—whether across the street or across the world. With a bit of humor and a whole lot of heart, the sweet rhymes and illustrations in these pages are sure to make someone smile. Gift it to a friend who has moved away, a relative serving overseas, or to a loved one during tough times.
