Book Title: Thistle and Star Ventures

A giant heart is not measured by how loudly it loves, but by how carefully it listens.

Noah is a high-energy young giant whose enormous heart sometimes takes up a little too much space. He tumbles, crashes, splashes, and hugs with all his might, never intending to frighten or overwhelm anyone around him. But during a thunderstorm, Noah discovers a tiny, frightened dragon hiding beneath a fern. To earn Tuppernox's trust, Noah must slow down, listen, and imagine how the world might feel to someone much smaller than himself. In doing so, he learns that empathy begins when we notice another person's feelings and make room for their needs.

Noah's adventure is followed by two more heart-filled tales from the magical world of Everkind.

In The Tanglewing Trick, Peyton Moonswhistle is thrilled when a dazzling group of older fairies invites her to fly with them. Their adventure looks exciting, but something inside Peyton warns her that all is not right. She must decide whether being included is worth ignoring her instincts or whether she can trust her own wings and choose a safer path.

In Jayverin the Quiet Elf, a thoughtful young elf speaks freely at home but cannot find his voice at school. When his mother encourages his teacher to meet him where he feels safe, the people around Jayverin begin to understand that silence is not emptiness. With patience, acceptance, and room to grow, his extraordinary imagination finally has a place to shine.
