From atoms to stars, a gentle story about how life transforms and continues.
We’re All Made From Stars invites children into the wonder of life’s cycle, where atoms and energy never disappear but transform into something new. With poetic words and sweeping illustrations by Marc Majewski, the book explains how life and death are connected without leaning on religion, offering instead a universal story of belonging, change, and renewal. Both scientific and spiritual in tone, it gently shows that endings are also beginnings, and that we are, quite literally, made from the same stardust that fills the universe.
WHAT TO EXPECT
• Luminous illustrations by award-winning artist Marc Majewski
• A tender, poetic introduction to the circle of life for children and families
• Bridges science and spirituality without religious framing, offering comfort and wonder

Enjoy a delightfully spooky shiver with Baroness Spookiness.
Once upon a time, the name Baroness Spookiness sent shivers down everyone’s spine. She was the mistress of mayhem, the queen of all things creepy. But those days are long gone. Now the Baroness is, well, not scary at all.
Everything seems perfectly unspooky until one restless night, when she discovers that her beloved ghost cat is seriously ill. The diagnosis? A dreadful psychological case of not-enough-spook. To save her feline friend, the Baroness must rediscover her frightful flair. But how does a former ghoul learn to spook again?
WHAT TO EXPECT
• A lightly spooky picture book with humor and charm rather than fright
• A story about rediscovering confidence, creativity, and courage in small steps

TINI MALINA writes and illustrates children’s books for readers of all ages who share a love for everything mischievous and a little bit spooky. Her illustrations are minimalist and playful, blending humor, naiveté, and just a hint of creepiness.
