I missed out on all this kind of fun stuff when I was a child but it’s never too late! I’m gonna attempt this puzzle myself! It’ll be wonderful to print out and share.

Maxie's Monster and the Jar of Stars

Auntie Lili's Books & Things

Regular price $21.95 Sale

How will Maxie overcome her lower nature to win back the trust and respect of her mother, grandfather, teacher, and friends? Maxie’s journey isn’t easy, and her monster is no help at all.

As she makes choices to be helpful, kind, honest and trustworthy her monster shrinks until “poof” it disappears.

The objective of the story is to inspire reflection and discussions about behavioral choices in a gentle way. It will help children address their choice about behaviors as helpful or not. It is designed to discuss ways that build trust and a better world or not through using the game, “Tentacles of Darkness or Rays of Light”. Each negative behavior has a corresponding virtuous action that leads to a better understanding of conquering the lower nature and contributing to a better world.

Note: Maxie’s Monster and the Jar of Stars is not treating naughty behaviors as funny. It is a realistic book about an average little girl from a multi-generational mixed racial home.

Audience: The story is intended for primary school age children, teacher, parents and caregivers of elementary age children. Market: Parents, teachers, libraries and centers of learning for children. Age Range: 4 - 11 years Grade Level:  PreK-6th grade Series: Maxie Hardcover: 44 pages Product Dimensions:  8.5 x 8.5 inches Language: English ISBN-13: 978-1481430227

Author Information: Lili Shang has been bringing joy to children through her hands-on teaching aids and storytelling for decades. In her classroom challenges become opportunities for little minds.

I am using the Lionhearts series to supplement and/or add to the Ruhi Book 3, Grade 3 lessons on The Báb. ...Thank you for all the work you and your team put into this - magical! Will send a pic of the finished teapots and anything else I do so that you may see.
Australia

We find this as a way of including our children in the Feast, rather than taking turns doing something else with them during the administrative part. And we anticipate the junior youth being able to help them. Eagerly anticipating the next pages...
USA

I used one of the lessons ...for this feast and it worked so well and the children loved it. I took some time off to go and do the activities with them in the feast and for one of the activities, we made it like a skit and presented it. It was very very useful and every one enjoyed, parents and children. Thank you very much for putting on so much effort... it's really beautiful.
India

I am always grateful for all those wonderful Bahá'ís all over the world who share their talents and creations with the rest of the world family. ...Your Lionhearted issues are wonderful!! I know this must take a lot of time to prepare! Thank you so much for making this available for moms like me that don't have the time to put together nice materials like this one!
Luxembourg

Love this idea! Want to provide these booklets to the children in our cluster as a gift from our Feast Committee and their LSA. This helps the children and their parents, too, learn about the importance of the 19 Day Feast! Thank you! Delivering the workbooks through home visits is an interesting idea.
USA

The children have enjoyed many of the activities. I have tried the new one (tilting teapot) as a practise to show the children (usually do this) and found that I printed a teapot and it's reverse on card, glued that to a small paper plate (not the handles), then cut it out and stapled onto a larger folded paper plate that the children will have a 2-sided teapot. Here in Oz the shops are not selling the paper plates (unless heavy Chinet ones which I used), but are becoming more involved with bamboo plates

[A]s a community with a lot of children, we've been having a conversation for YEARS about the fact that we need some kind of program for the kids during the consultative portion of Feast instead of just letting them play, but it's never really happened because none of us seems to have the bandwidth to figure out what to do with all of them. So these Feast pages are seriously an answer to our prayers!

We used this at our Feast on Sunday ... and had a blast! Was great to have stuff for various ages. Thanks so much!

Happy Naw Ruz to you all amazing and dedicated friends at Mine Rich in Gems. We also just used some of these creative ideas at our children classes today where we held an hour of Naw Ruz celebration and they were absolute hit. I myself was very proud of my Peacock fruit platter May you all be blessed by Baha'u'llah in everything you do. Keep up the good work and just know that it is all very much appreciated. With loving regards,

Australia (Victoria)

Dear friends Allahuabha, These feast pages will be extremely beneficial in Brazil where I live. I would like to know if there is the possibility of adaptation/ translation to Portuguese so that they can be used in the Brazilian Bahá’í community? I myself can do all the translations...Thank you so much for all your hard work and making these valuable resources available for all.

I just wanted to say that we used some of your Naw Ruz printable activities last night at our party and they were a huge hit! I am so appreciative of your feast packets and think it's wonderful that you put a donation button on the page and I will be donating!
