This is one of my kids favorite books. The illustrations are so beautiful. Paislee feels like life is unfair, but learns a lesson about being happy.

Miriam Monette tells the story as "The Christmas Spider: the Nativity Story Retold for Children" featuring the Christmas Spider as a visitor to Bethlehem and an observer of the Nativity from a fresh new perspective. The true meaning of Christmas shines bright in this tale of hope and love. Monette conveys the message that no matter how insignificant we imagine ourselves to be, the Lord sees and loves us all.

This story is so inspirational and shows that disabilities shouldn't limit you. Everyone opens their heart when they take in a pet but a puppy with a cleft pallet and hole in his heart is a challenge. The illustrations are amazing in portraying Taki's facial speciality and translating his journey. The questions at the back are excellent to help teach about friends, acceptance, and kindness. Kids of all ages will be touched by this amazing, inspirational story.

Such a great book to help kids understand what their story is when It may not look like everyone else's. I bought a few copies for my work that helps support children in the foster system or who are going through the adoption process. This was such a beautiful gift that we can read to them throughout the day to help them process. Love love love this story!

Fantastic story line, unbelievable

Nice book about how lots of different caregivers are important to help kids feel loved.

My children and I found this book to be a truly enjoyable read. It presents excellent examples of how the cortex and amygdala function, along with basic illustrations of how each is stimulated in daily activities. The age-appropriate examples make the information accessible for children, and it serves as a helpful reminder for parents. Furthermore, the book offers various solutions and tools for navigating challenging moments when our children are experiencing emotional responses, which is also beneficial for us as parents. My family and I have found the book's suggestions to be quite useful, and my children have responded positively to them.

This is a captivating book, beautifully illustrated, about life and joy. It is relatable and perfect for kids of all ages. My grandchildren love it!

Loved it!

This is a beautifully illustrated book that helps parents and children handle those big feelings in a way that helps everyone feel cared for and seen. I have just ordered another copy to share with family!

I was optimistic about this book when I saw the BEAUTIFUL artwork. It was eye-catching and engaging for young readers, their adults and even the teens I work with! The story itself was easily understood and applicable for all ages! I can't wait to recommend this book to everyone I know who works with children! I will be buying a class set of the physical copies to use with my classes :)

Colorful fun way to learn about emotions. The illustrations are whimsical and the story is enlightening! Sam steps down will be a wonderful addition to our book collection!

Wonderful family read for children, and the illustrations are divine. High recommend for the young one in your family.

Sam Steps Down is a cute and blissful read, the art is unique and inviting. As someone who grew up a little too fast, and because of that skipped a lot of helpful lessons, this book would have saved me a lot of trouble had I gotten to read it as a kid...
