Do you know a child that has felt this way? Human beings need the feeling of self-worth to grow and develop into a healthy contributing part of society. Often our relationships and connections to others can enhance or destroy that feeling. BaBa-Balu Belongs, Too,  is a story of a monarch caterpillar who doesn't fit in. He feels uncomfortable in his own skin which he grows out of 5 times. The other bugs don't play with him or include him. This causes him to be sad, mad, and even bad. One day he is so sad he creeps away from his home on the milkweed. He hangs upside down and grows out of his skin again  But this time he falls into a deep sleep. In his sleep he dreams about how the other bugs include him, eat with him, play with him, and invite him to a party  He feels like he belongs. This feeling overwhelms him with happiness. He wakes up feeling included and loved which causes him to spread his wings and become who he is really meant to be, a beautiful, happy butterfly. This story also follows the metamorphosis cycle and includes several of the scientific terms related to it. BaBa-Balu is part of the Cultivation Compassion in Children Series. It was prompted by the occurrence of several childhood suicides close to home. This story of becoming can be related to LGBTQ+, or any situation where the feeling of not belonging can hinder healthy growth, development, and self-worth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51048590573841,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51048593916177,"sku":"NIN9781734246360","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52331530780945,"sku":"NLS9781734246360","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1734246367.jpg?v=1751058772"},{"product_id":"what-s-wrong-with-grandpa-book-sonja-lange-wendt-9781734246346","title":"What's Wrong With Grandpa?","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking for a story about understanding aging, disabilities, acceptance, and compassion, this book from the award winning series, Cultivating Compassion in Children is for you.This is a story of a little boy, Joey, who goes on the first hike of the season in the mountains with his grandpa. His grandpa has changed over the winter. He talks real loud in his noisy truck, he is using walking sticks on the hike, he can't keep up with his grandson like he had last year, he trips on a rock and looks funny when he reads a pocket bird book, and he can't spot things in the woods like he used to last year. What's wrong with Grandpa? He's not the same. This makes 7 year old Joey sad and upset. Grandpa and Joey sit down, have a snack, and discuss what's happening, the changes that Grandpa is experiencing. Joey thought his grandpa would stay the same forever and didn't understand that his grandpa was going through the natural process of aging. This beautifully illustrated book that takes place in a breathtaking mountain setting with nature all around is a great story to help explain the impacts of aging and how it doesn't change the love a grandparent or aging person has for a child. There are thought provoking questions at the end of the story to clarify and reinforce the concepts of the story. This is a wonderful story for grandparents to share with their grandchildren. This book is part of the Cultivating Compassion in Children Series where Seymour and Serina Seed introduce and wrap up the story. They help the child understand the meaning of the story and the message of compassion being conveyed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51049326280977,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51049330868497,"sku":"NIN9781734246346","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51630638661905,"sku":"NGR9781734246346","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52428594610449,"sku":"NLS9781734246346","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1734246340.jpg?v=1751247140"},{"product_id":"i-m-not-a-weed-book-sonja-lange-wendt-9781734246308","title":"I'm Not a Weed!","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a story about a sunflower that blows into a perennial garden. This sunflower is considered a weed by Mr. Gardener since he did not plan or plant it. But Mrs. Gardener fell in love with this sunflower.
