On a cool spring day in a nest on a branch, a tiny star found himself all alone on a pink and white blossoming apple tree, rooted upon an old field of green. In a lilting, poetic style paired with brilliant illustrations, The Star Jumped Over the Moon tells the story of a star who lives in an apple tree but desperately wishes to shine in the night sky. But how? Through the seasons, the star and the apple tree grow, facing the inevitability of change, until the star finds the courage to jump.

When interacting with Gen-Zers, whether you be their parent, teacher, coach, relative, neighbor, or anything in between, the generational divide can seem larger than ever. Gen-Zers ignore you, they refuse to turn on their Zoom cameras, they procrastinate, they make strange jokes, they have short attention spans, and they take so many selfies. But that isn’t all there is to Generation Z. What Would Gen-Z Do? will help you reach across the generational divide and learn how to navigate your relationships with Gen-Zers. In this guide to everything Gen-Z, John Schlimm, Harvard-trained educator and Gen-Z advocate, uses his extensive experience in working with the younger generation to offer some insight for anyone who’s navigating the Gen-Z universe. In 51 chapters, you’ll find quick, relatable lessons and activity ideas that crush the stereotypes and stigmas of Generation Z and shed light on who your Gen-Zers really are—intelligent, compassionate, courageous, and honest future leaders. Love them, appreciate them, and encourage them to rock on!
