It takes years to bring a book into the world and MAKING HAPPY is finally here. This book is my heart and I share it with you hoping it brings you a little hope, a little peace and a whole lot of love. 🙏🏽❤️ Posted @withrepost • @theconsciouskid Happy book birthday to MAKING HAPPY, a picture book about how to find your happy no matter how hard things are. Award winning creators, Sheetal Sheth (@beneaththesheetz) and Khoa Le (@khoa.le.artwork) have created a stunning, must have book that interweaves text and art in a way that is truly seamless. We are so happy this book is in the world! This book touches on self care and mental health- it is a conduit to talk to our children about how to process big feelings. Written by the author when she was dealing with serious illness and couldn’t find books that dealt with these topics, we are so grateful that she has shared her story so honestly. In celebration of the book’s release we are going to be giving away two copies. All you have to do to enter is make sure you are following @beneaththesheetz and us and tag a friend in the comments. U.S. only please. Giveaway ends Fri, Sept 23 at 11:59pm. MAKING HAPPY. Available now wherever books are sold. @barefootbooks #childrensbooks #kidlit #selfcare #mentalhealth #newbook #bookbirthday
A year ago today, the Always Anjali anniversary edition was published by @randomhousekids . 3 months ago, the new edition of Bravo Anjali came out. Both ended up on the USA Today’s Best Seller’s List and the books not only continue to be a mainstay in homes but continue to find new audiences. So grateful for all the love and messages over the years. Makes me so happy that Anjali has become a ‘must gift’ to new parents and humbled that more and more schools use the books as part of their curriculum. 🙏🏽 Thrilled to have done another event with the phenomenal Meena Harris (@meena ) this past weekend to celebrate the power in all of us. Thank you all for coming out! ✨📚 ps. Anjali #3 is all set to come out next year! Can’t wait to share more. Stay tuned. 👊🏽 #kidlit #childrensbooks #womensupportingwomen #bookstagram #author #neverdimyourlight #alwaysanjali #bravoanjali #aforambitious #anjaliseries #education #parenting

We are doing a giveaway! To celebrate the release of Priya’s Kitchen Adventures, we are giving away eight awesome kids’ books, all of them by authors we love and admire (including, yes, us). The books include our own titles, plus we each picked a book by another author because we think more cooks in the kitchen is a good thing!!

The prize includes the following: 📖 Priya’s Kitchen Adventures by @priyakrishna 📖 Bravo, Anjali! by @beneaththesheetz 📖 Always Anjali by @beneaththesheetz 📖 Kalamata’s Kitchen by @sarahthomas and @thejosho 📖 Taste Buds in Harmony by @sarahthomasand @thejosho 📖 Lailah’s Lunchbox by @reemfaruqi 📖 American as Paneer Pie by @supriya.kelkar 📖 The Girl and the Goddess by @nikita_gill 🧸 Kal & Al Plush Pals Giveaway Rules 🍴 Follow @priyakrishna @beneaththesheetz @kalamataskitchen @sarahthomas 🍴 Like this post 🍴 Tag a friend (each friend = one entry) 🍴 BONUS: share this post in your stories and tag us for an extra entry One lucky winner will be selected on Sunday, May 5th! #giveaway #childrensbooks #cookingwithkids #kidsfood
There’s nothing like being seen. Which is what it feels like for me when I’m in a room full of people touched by cancer. It’s instant connection and love and understanding like no other. This horrible disease is an epidemic that keeps growing and touching people younger and younger. So grateful to be in community and partnership with @preventcancer who are doing life saving work. They not only advocated for April to be Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month, but they got the Congressional Families together to champion cures. Humbled that they asked me to speak but even more deeply indebted to know some of the brilliant minds on the front lines. 🙏🏽 FUCK CANCER. Thank you @tedbaker for the fits. ✨🙌🏽 📸: @marionmeakemphotography #fuckcancer #breastcancerawareness #health

“We can do anything we want, little one. Anything at all!” That’s the last line of my book, Bravo Anjali, and the inspiration behind this @seemanetwork cover shoot. Pure joy recreating these iconic characters and moments as an homage to all we can do. Full feature on seema.com Which one is your favorite? Marilyn Monroe, Pretty Woman, Sex and the City, Clueless, or Carrie?! Gratitude to the incredible team who didn’t think I was crazy when I told them my idea: Hair/Makeup: @iamkanwalbatool Stylist: @ladaskamechelle 📸: @geomantillaphoto And everyone at @seemanetwork who are thoughtful and marvelous partners. 🙌🏽✨🙏🏽 #actorlife #author #childrensbooks #kidlit #homage #covershoot
