In My Room by Jo Witek

From the author illustrator team of the mega-bestselling In My Heart

In her room, one little girl can be anything she wants to be and go anywhere she wishes to go, all with the power of her imagination (and paper, markers, and crayons, of course!).

She can go on safari or sail the seven seas. She can be a doctor, teacher, or high-powered businesswoman. The sky’s the limit! And when the day is over, she can become a little girl again, safe in her room.

Like the classic Where the Wild Things Are, this latest addition to the Growing Hearts series celebrates imagination as a means to try on different identities and work through difficult emotions, all while having fun.

The Growing Hearts series celebrates the milestones of a toddler’s emotional development, from conquering fears and expressing feelings to welcoming a new sibling.

Wabi-Sabi Welcomeby Julie Pointer-Adams

Learning to embrace the imperfect and entertain with thoughtfulness and ease

Wabi-Sabi Welcome applies the basic principles of the wabi-sabi aesthetic to modern entertaining.

It’s about being attentive to your guests (listen without being distracted; unplug), creating a welcoming environment (leave the door unlocked; make time to be together), choosing modest décor (dishes and furniture made from materials that endure, such as wood or clay), decorating with nature (with an emphasis on foraged, not store-bought, blooms), finding beauty in imperfections (wrinkled linen napkins, along with a relaxed attitude about late-coming guests), and much more.

The book is organised into chapters of five locations - Japan, Denmark, California, France, and Italy - places where the approach to home décor and entertaining best reflects wabi-sabi principles.

The book is complete with lush photography and practical checklists.
