A STEAM-centered, adorably illustrated picture book about Meg, a brilliant and creative boxitect who creates extraordinary things out of ordinary cardboard boxes.
Meg is a brilliant and creative boxitect. She loves impressing her teacher and classmates with what she makes out of boxes.
But there's a new kid at Maker School: Simone. Simone is good at everything, and worst of all, she's a boxitect too.
When the annual Maker Match is held, Meg and Simone are paired as a team but can't seem to stop arguing. When their extraordinary project turns into a huge disaster, they must find a way to join creative forces, lift each other up, and work together.
With a focus on overcoming fails and pivoting to new ideas, this hilarious story stars a young boy who dreams of baking extraordinary cakes but struggles with perfectionism in the midst of competition from fellow Baker Makers.
Naveen loves baking. In fact, he's sure he's practically a master baker. So he is excited when his maker class tackles creative cakes at Baker Makers Lab!
He is positive his cake will be the most astonishing and extraordinary one of all. But the mismatch between his fertile imagination and his actual skills leads to disaster!
Will he find a way to embrace the unexpected? Find out in this delicious and delightful STEAM-centered picture book about letting go of perfection from New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Kim Smith, creator of Boxitects.
As the grotesque figure stepped closer to Myung-Dae Kwon, his stomach convulsed from the foul stench that enveloped him. The servant of Satan planted himself firmly only a few feet from Myung-Dae Kwon and bellowed with a voice that shook the ground for miles. His putrid breath dropped birds in flight and frogs from the trees to the ground. It laid the tall wheat grass down around the path as far as one could see.
At the bank of the Han River, Kim heard the unholy roar of the beast and fell back into the longboat. Peering over the side, he saw the river water dancing (as it does when an alligator sounds its mating call). Kim saw the birds falling from the sky and the frogs dropping into the river and along the shore. He was struck with fear.
The repugnant creature spoke to Myung-Dae Kwon with a horrifying voice. In your cloak you carry a script that belongs to me. Put it in this box, and I will not harm you.
Inspiration and practical advice for a fantastic garden. Kim Smith's passion is her garden, a small and densely-packed quarter acre beside her family's seaside home in Gloucester, brimming with every species imaginable and some (including apricots) a few might consider unimaginable. Here she has created a living tapestry of fragrance, foliage, flower and fruit. She is sensitive to the plant's forms, hues, and horticultural demands, and has, by design, established a succession of blooms and a selection of plant materials that reduce the needs for pesticides and herbicides. Any gardener wrestling with the challenges of blight, bugs, poor soil, limited light, and the vagaries of weather will find in these pages both sound advice and practical solutions. But this is intended as more than another how-to book. The author is especially interested in the intangibles a garden provides: the moods and ambiance, the butterflies attracted, the harmonious patterns of color, light, and texture. Her advice is as much about how to visualize a garden, as about particular trees, shrubs, vines, perennials, and annuals.
Illustrated in full color with the author's own exquisite drawings, containing twenty-two chapters that illuminate every aspect of garden planning and planting, this book is for gardeners seeking both sensible guidance and extraordinary design ideas.
Three small words as humble and unassuming as my grandmother herself. Short, sweet, and powerful, they were more than a wish.
I came to understand these words as a holy petition.
This book describes how one woman interrupted a lifetime of struggle and stepped into the freedom for which she was made. When Kim Smith's grandmother passed away at age 95, she left no inheritance except her loving example and Enjoy Your Life, her closing words spoken at each parting. Kim's grief brought desperation, her curiosity sparked a shift, and God's true nature was fully revealed. Expanding faith fueled a journey of spiritual transfiguration and birthed a desire to promote this powerful three word legacy. The purpose of this book is to do just that.
