The Adventures of Belle Bear
The Adventures of Belle Bear tells the story of a cheerful polar bear cub who lives in snowy Mount Bearia with her loving grandmother, Baba Bear. Life is warm and cozy even in the cold. Then everything changes when they must move far away to sunny Calibearia. Belle Bear struggles with loneliness, new faces, and a school where she feels totally out of place. With Baba Bear’s steady encouragement and a magical new orange cape, she slowly finds her courage, makes friends, and discovers that who she is has always been enough.
This picture book captures that weird mix of excitement and fear that comes with starting over. The writing is simple in the best way. It feels comforting. I loved how Baba Bear’s words repeat like a song. It made me smile every time because it reminded me of the kind of thing a real grandma might say. The gentle rhythm of the book pulled me in. I didn’t expect to feel so moved by a polar bear pep talk, but here we are.
Moving, making friends, trying to fit in. It all felt honest. That moment when Belle Bear loses her cape on the journey felt symbolic in a way that surprised me. When the new cape appears as she speaks those affirmations in the mirror, it feels empowering. The story doesn’t pretend that being brave is easy, and I appreciated that. The artwork in the book is bright, friendly, and the characters are full of personality. Every character looks lively and expressive. The colors are soft but cheerful, which gives the whole book a cozy vibe. Each animal has its own charm. The style overall feels playful and comforting, perfect for a children’s book about friendship and courage.
By the end, I felt genuinely happy for Belle Bear. The book wraps everything up with this sweet feeling of hope, and it left me wishing every kid could hear Baba Bear’s nightly reminder. I’d recommend this book for kids who might be moving, starting a new school, or feeling unsure of themselves. Honestly, it’s also lovely for any child who just needs a confidence boost or a comforting story at bedtime. It’s warm. It’s kind. It’s the sort of book that stays with you.

Humans are awesome!
Humans Are Awesome: A Kid’s Guide to Staying Smarter Than AI is a lively and colorful children’s book that sets out to explain the difference between human abilities and artificial intelligence in a way that feels both playful and empowering. The story starts with simple tools like fire and bikes, then moves into “computer brains” (AI), showing kids how these tools can help but also where their limits are. From there, the book unfolds into a celebration of human “superpowers” like empathy, imagination, intuition, adaptability, and conscience. It mixes humor, interactive challenges, and bold illustrations to keep the pace quick and fun, while slipping in lessons about safety, responsibility, and the joy of being human.
I really enjoyed how the book balances silliness with seriousness. One page might have a goofy idea like a bubble-breathing dragon on roller skates, then the next grounds the child in an important safety rule about keeping personal information private. That swing between giggles and grounding works surprisingly well. The language feels natural, almost like a friend explaining things in the playground, and I could see it making sense to a wide range of ages. I also appreciated that the authors didn’t make AI sound scary, but instead framed it as a tool that needs rules and guidance, just like riding a bike. That choice makes the book feel hopeful rather than heavy. The interactive sections, like asking kids to point out devices in their home that use AI, were my favorite parts. They make the book feel less like a lecture and more like a game, which is perfect for this kind of teaching.
Humans Are Awesome feels like a book I’d recommend to families who want to start conversations about technology without making it intimidating. It’s especially good for kids in elementary school, maybe ages six to ten, though I think even younger kids would enjoy the pictures and playful tone. Parents will probably appreciate the author’s note too, since it frames the whole project as a partnership between grown-ups and kids. I’d call it a warm, thoughtful, and fun resource for any family navigating the wild mix of screens, apps, and gadgets in daily life.

A Glimpse of Hope
You Can’t Stop Me follows a diverse group of young girls who transform their so-called weaknesses into strengths, proving that determination, self-belief, and authenticity can break any barrier. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
I remember the day I decided I was going to write and publish You Can’t Stop Me. I was holding my then 4-month-old daughter, watching women’s rights being stripped away. Angry, sad, scared—I was trying to understand the world my daughter is going to grow up in. How could I make a difference? How could I make sure young girls and women keep fighting and not let the everyday battle knock them down? How do I explain it to my daughter?
I began writing down ideas immediately. Almost 2 years later, You Can’t Stop Me was born.
How did you develop the different characters, and was there one character you felt most connected to?
A small part of me can connect and relate to each girl portrayed in You Can’t Stop Me—and unfortunately, I think most girls and women will feel the same. I wanted to showcase as many types of girls as possible. I wanted the young girls reading it to think, “Oh, she looks like me and she’s in space!” or “I’m in a wheelchair too, that doesn’t mean I can’t be president!”
But if I had to choose one character I relate to the most, I would say it’s the author!
The book challenges societal expectations placed on young girls. What impact do you hope it has on readers?
My main goal has always been to give a glimpse of hope and power to little girls that don’t get told they’re enough, they’re smart, they’re brave, that they’re unstoppable. I hope You Can’t Stop Me gets in their hands and they realize that can do or be anything they set their mind to.
What is the next book that you are working on, and when will it be available?
I’m currently working on an apocalypse-style YA novel. It’s in the early stages, so no dates yet. This is a project I’ll be taking my time with as it’s written in memory of my brother, who will be one of the main characters.

You’re too bossy? Sounds like you know how to get stuff done.
You’re too weak? Well, that’s not possible. You’re the toughest person I know.
You’re too nice? That’s not even a thing.
Being too “you” is not a bad thing. You are the best you I’ve ever seen!
You should embrace who you are, and use it to make your dreams happen.
Girls can do anything, and no one can stop us!
