For a child in your life or the child in you, run to get the brand new children’s book set at PEM! Piece by Piece tells the story of a young girl named Emmy, and her visit to the Yin Yu Tang house. In the book, Emmy Wu loses her beloved blanket, made especially for her by her grandmother, Nainai. Looking high and low, she winds up on a magical journey of discovery and wonder, reminded of both her blanket and her Nainai as she explores all the nooks and crannies of Yin Yu Tang. But will she find her blanket before it’s too late? Remembering Nainai’s wisdom, she has not only good luck but the love of her family, too. Written by Susan Tan and illustrated by Justine Wong, this is the very first children’s book originating from PEM, and is published by PEM and Six Foot Press.

Need a hostess gift for that winter solstice gathering? Pull up to the fireplace with a warm, dark chocolate elixir, made with spices, herbs and history.

These small-but-mighty books How to Eat and How to Rest, introducing beginners and reminding seasoned practitioners of the essentials of mindfulness practice by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hahn, bring clarity, compassion and humor to the thorny questions of life. These are perfectly paired with the accessible wisdom and lessons of compassion in Be Here by the Dali Lama.

If you haven’t visited Hans Hoffman: The Nature of Abstraction, you have until January 5 to get energized by the colorful paintings and to step further into the “color room,” an immersive rotating-light experience inspired by Hofmann’s theory that color has the power to evoke certain moods. Transitioning from bright yellow into violet and green to shades in between, climb into a bean bag and let the color and light therapy begin.
