Sally Sanders is good at everything she does, or so it seems. Secretly she is afraid that if she can't do something well, or be the best, she will feel like a failure. She is scared that she is not "good enough." As a perfectionist, hitting the wrong note at a piano recital, or not making the soccer team feels like the end of the world! Gradually, through the help of her teachers and mother, Sally learns to have fun and not worry so much about being the best. She realizes that making mistakes is a part of learning, and that doing her best is good enough. Color. Grades 3-7. [6” x 9”...48 pages]

Drawing is what Ramon does. It's what makes him happy. In one split second, however, all that is changed. A single reckless remark by his older brother, Leon, turns Ramon's once carefree expressions into joyless struggles. Lucky for Ramon, his younger sister, Marisol, sees the world differently. She opens his eyes to something far more valuable than getting things just "right." Color. Grades 1-8. [8” x 7.5”...32 pages]

Order by 1:00 P.M. (Central Time)... We'll send a confirming e-mail, and normally ship the same day!

Tracking information ... We'll have the U.S. Postal Service or UPS send you tracking information each time your package is scanned.

We're best known for two things... The way we pack (very carefully); and the way we ship (very quickly).

We take book safety seriously... Your books will be shrink-wrapped on a heavy piece of cardboard, and placed in a heavy-duty box or a padded mailing bag (depending on the size of your order). We also pack around the books with plenty of clean paper to keep the books from moving. And, when the order is ready to ship, we'll stamp the box with our traditional red "HANDLE WITH ENTHUSIASM" stamp.

Our customers tell us... That we are pretty good at what we do. And we ought to be! We've been dispatching books to all corners of the planet since 1978. We're one of those old-fashioned companies with real toll-free telephones—and real people to answer them. It will not be an accident that your books will arrive in perfect condition. We make sure they will.

Standard Shipping... 3.50 for orders under 50.00; free shipping for any order over 50.00 (including Purchase Orders).

Expedited Shipping... 5.00 for one book; 9.95 for two or more books. We normally use First Class Mail for home addresses; UPS for school addresses.
