In My Room: A Book of Creativity and Imagination Hardcover
(Jo Witek, Illustrator Christine Roussey)
Hardcover (July 3, 2017)

A tribute to the power and importance of imaginative play, from the bestselling creators of 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 charming picture book celebrates imagination as a means to try on different identities and work through difficult emotions, all while having fun.

My Tree and Me
(Jo Witek, Illustrator Christine Roussey)
Hardcover (April 2, 2019)

A tribute to the year-round wonders of the natural world from the bestselling creators of In My Heart

One little girl has a very special friend, the tall ancient tree in her backyard. Through the seasons, she grows along with the tree, playing in its branches and basking in its shade. She can swing and have a picnic, draw the tree and play hide and go seek. Through her time with her tree, the girl learns to appreciate the natural world as something to be savored and protected and acknowledges her place within it.

With charming illustrations and playful die cuts that mimic the rings of a tree, My Tree and Me is a tribute to outdoor play and all the ways we are connected to nature.
