An uplifting, positive, and powerful book that explores how to break through fear and find joy through creativity, from best-selling author Holly Ringland.The House That Joy Built is about how to give ourselves permission to be creative. It explores all the big fears that can block our creativity and the permission we can meet those fears with—to not simply create but to revel in the life-changing wonder and joy of doing so. It offers a jump-start for the nervous heart of anyone whose desire to create is ruled by fear. It is a book for those people who yearn to write, as well as people who find their creativity in other ways: gardeners, carpenters, sculptors, jewelry makers, florists, songwriters, dancers, cooks, painters. It is for anyone who wants to make something but doesn’t because they’re afraid. It is for everyone who has ever felt stuck creatively, for those who don’t know how to begin, for those who feel they have so much welling up inside and are just trying to find a way into themselves.In lyrical, inspirational prose, Holly examines her own sometimes difficult journey to a successful writing career and offers a wealth of encouragement for anyone who wants to unlock their information and find happiness. The book is divided into seven chapters, each addressing an obstruction to creativity with a suggested remedy, including gently challenging “provocations” and generous, conversational advice. It is an exhilarating, empowering clarion call to experience the joy and freedom of creating. Autorid: Holly Ringland

This artful and thought-provoking picture book shares the little-known story of the disappearance of the Aral Sea—and the loss of livelihood and biodiversity as fishing villages and ships were left stranded in the desert without water.The Aral Sea once stretched across modern-day Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. A large saltwater lake of Central Asia (called “sea” because of its vastness), the Aral Sea’s 26 square miles (67 square kilometers) sustained its surrounding communities for generations. Beginning in the 1960s, aggressive Soviet industrialization diverted water for agricultural production and caused the lake to shrink. Today, the waters that had thrived for centuries have almost entirely disappeared—and along with them, the biodiversity of the lake, its thriving fishing industry, and the many homes along its shores. Told in a folkloric style with stunning illustrations, this true tale chronicles what happens when nature’s generosity is exploited. It gently invites readers to consider the reality of irreversible environmental harm, its global impact, and what it means to be compassionate to the land we live on.TIMELY THEMES: This book showcases lessons of community effort and perseverance, addressing important themes about the environment, biodiversity, water access, the impact of colonization, and the effects of industry and agriculture. LITTLE-KNOWN STORY: Few Central Asian stories like this are familiar to American and European readers, and very little has been published about the Aral Sea outside of Russia. This captivating picture book brings its important story to the world. FAR-REACHING IMPACT: The disappearance of the Aral Sea has a global impact: the effects have been documented as far away as Scandinavia and Antarctica, and toxic soils from the damaged Aral Sea basin are being carried by winds to the far corners of the planet. This story offers readers a chance to learn about the loss of a critical resource and reassess what it means to be environmentally aware, both locally and globally.Perfect for: Young readers who love nature and fact books Educators, librarians, and parents seeking engaging geography and natural science books for kids Anyone looking for stories featuring an environmental call to action A resource for talking about the impact of colonialism, industrialization, and underrepresented regions of the world Fans of Dinara Mirtalipova's art Autorid: Dinara Mirtalipova
