24,700 | 0 | . . . A fantastic story of the magical possibilities locked inside everyone, a story of hope and great adventure. Jaime Leal-AnayaWriter and Editor, Diamond Publishing Services--Book backcoverA delightful book, vividly written for all ages, that allows your imagination to create wonder and bring to mind that nothing is impossible. Diane D'Acuti Educator, B.A., M.A. --Book backcover The author's writing sparked incredible images in my mind with her fantastic flair and amazing use of words. Never before have I been so intrigued by a story. A must read for all interested in having a little fun. Myriah Brown, age 16 --Book backcoverAs a child, first time author P. A. Paizs was captivated by the magic of the classic A Little Princess, and it would become the inspiration for her to write an equally exciting tale for today s children of all ages: Jack and Mops Magical Adventures, Pumpkins and Particle Widgets. The story unfolds in a rare and precious setting an agreeable place of houses with grand covered porches that sit amidst large trees, gardens with flowers blooming throughout the seasons, and fountains that burble while children play in complete abandon. The rich detail is so inviting that once the author begins to introduce concepts about quantum physics and particle widgets , the reader is already captured by the comfort and peace, and willingly allows their imagination to unfold into the science. Jack and Mops Magical Adventures is also filled with references from well known children s stories like Cinderella, and Paizs effectively weaves those familiar portrayals with fresh and enticing interpretation. Within this delightful book, the adventure is realized both within the printed story as well as within the reader s mind, and its reading should be savored like a fine brandy.

24,733 | 11 | Manuel s Murals By Jeaninne Escallier Kato, Illustrated by Rachel Smith Manuel is a talented artist who lives with his family in an apartment building in Mexico City. He enjoys hearing stories about his heritage and famous artists who learned to represent their cultures in their art. One day, when Manuel decides to paint the outsides of his apartment building, the landlord comes to tell Manuel that his family is going to be evicted for defacing private property. Manuel is devastated and does not know where his family will go, so he flees in the dead of night, hops onto a bus, and rides to see the murals of Diego Rivera in person. He is struck by their beauty and devises a way to help his family, celebrate his heritage and community, while convincing their landlord to let them stay. Manuel s Murals is written by Jeaninne Escallier Kato, a woman with a diverse, multicultural background who wanted to share her love of Mexico and her appreciation for all different cultures. Kato s vision comes to life with the colorful illustrations of Rachel Smith, who makes the book s pictures as lively and vibrant as Manuel s own murals. This is a wonderful way for children to learn about the Hispanic culture, and it even includes Spanish vocabulary and a glossary in the back. Sophie Sestero --Portland Book ReviewJeaninne Escallier Kato is a 33 year veteran California public school teacher with a master's degree in education. She grew up in a multicultural, blended family in Southern California, and is married to a Japanese American. Because of her mother's Hispanic roots, & her father's French Indian blood, diverse cultures have always fascinated her. Manuel was born out of her love for Mexico, a culture that has impacted her life deeply. Jeaninne speaks Spanish and teaches 4th grade in a predominantly Latino school in Northern California, where she also runs a Latino mentoring program. Her passion for the artists, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, inspired this book. Jeaninne spent a whole day sitting in front of Rivera's History of Mexico; murals at the National Palace in Mexico City, absorbing his message, when she heard Diego whisper, Teach the children about their past. This book is a homage to all children who dare to dream.; Title: Manuel's Murals | [

24,735 | 2 | San Francisco Book Review:A Box Story provides the perfect springboard for creative ways to turn an empty box into a work of art and a vehicle (both literally and figuratively) for the imagination. The simple illustrations are imaginative and often beautiful with eye-catching colors.Pinnacle Book Awards Winner 2012 for Children's Interest (March 2012) - From the National Association of Book EntrepreneursLiterary Classics Seal of Approval (March 2012): Young audiences will surely find enjoyment within the pages of this clever little book. Kenneth Lamug's, A Box Story, comes highly recommended, and earns the Literary Classics Seal of Approval.ForeWord Reviews (June 2012): With a nod to the fact that containers often interest kids as much as what's inside, a web designer meditates on the many uses of this most practical (and abstract) of packages: "A box can keep your secrets . . . or reveal an unexpected surprise." Lovely and inspiring.This Literary Life (March 2012): The words are simple but thought-provoking. They help build the imagination while simultaneously challenging the reader to find a purpose for their box. A purpose all of their own. Every child will want to build a life inside a box after reading this story.The idea for "A Box Story" came to me in a dream. I woke up at that moment and sketched out the idea right away. Within the next few days I had put aside all the projects I was working on and poured my heart into the book. My original intention was to keep the drawings simple and in black and white, leaving the reader to use their imagination in interpreting the images. I eventually decided to give a splash of color to the illustrations while retaining the intended subtle message. The metaphor for the box is not an entirely new idea, but I felt a deep personal connection in its "meaningful simplicity" that I had to share it in my own unique way. I hope that the reader is affected in the same way and that the idea grows in their mind and heart as it did in mine.; Title: A Box Story | [

Christopher B. Cosgrove III. Christopher was killed by a suicide bomber in Al Anbar Province, Iraq on October 1, 2006.

Christopher lives on, fighting alongside his real life brothers Kevin and Brian. He teaches them and the reader history along the way. Never much of a history buff, Eileen began reading history so she could engage in intelligent conversations with Christopher. Once she began reading oral histories, she was hooked!

Eileen is married to her husband Chris for 20 years and the mother of Kevin, 19, and Brian, 15.; Title: The Fighting Hawks at D-Day: THE FIGHTING HAWKS SERIES VOL. 1 (Volume 1) | [

Third-grader Eddie Akamai decides to skip school after hes assigned to remedial reading classes; he balks at the idea of being put in a classroom with first-graders. He takes out the family boat, and Eddies sister Emma and their friend Kim Kokua join him. Eddie manages to pilot the boat through an unexpected storm, and the three kids discover Aloha Island, a magical world where animals talkone even has a tendency to overuse synonymsand letters grow like flowers. The islands human residents, Aunty Pono and Uncle Aka, convince the children to help them save the island from the threat of Ignorance, which has already trapped neighboring Mele Island in darkness. A band of talking animals joins the children in their effort, with occasional assistance from a tricky creature from Hawaiian mythology called a menhune, and a lei made of letters instead of flowers. The Flaming Illiterates, a trio of animals with less noble motives, do their best to subvert the kids mission, and they prove particularly adept at using Eddies insecurities against him. Throughout the book, the children face challenges involving phonics, wordplay and literacy. The storys many surprises should appeal to in reluctant readers, and the short chapters are likely to sustain kids interest. The author keeps the phonics lessons and the pro-literacy message from overwhelming the story itself. Although the pronunciation guides and definitions of Hawaiian terms may seem excessive at times, they provide necessary background about what may be an unfamiliar culture for many readers.

Miles finds that his reflection in the mirror has changed into a furry red monster that advises him to talk through his anger, and he does, until it dissipates. This book is based on a screenplay for "Ruby's Studio: The Feelings Show," a DVD/download series aimed at helping preschoolers learn social-emotional skills. Its purpose is bibliotherapeutic, and it achieves its goal without condescension by describing Miles's emotional and physical states in a matter-of-fact way. When Miles gets mad, "His cheeks got BURNING HOT. His chest felt tight. His hands CURLED INTO FISTS." His chat with the monster in the mirror lets readers listen in on the internal dialogue between his emotional side and his rational side; that Miles calms himself down without adult intervention is empowering. Simple color cartoon illustrations are set against a backdrop of sepia photographic settings, which is visually interesting without being distracting, and emphasizes the connection between the story and real life. A note for adults explains the importance of children verbalizing their feelings and provides information about the mission of The Mother Company and Ruby's Studio. A solid choice for caregivers to share with children when discussing handling strong emotions.-Heidi Estrin, Congregation B'nai Israel, Boca Raton, FL(c) Copyright 2013.

24,778 | 1 | A very old (c. 1896) and well-loved boxed set of the complete works of William Shakespeare, which once belonged to Laudea's great grandmother, graces her overstuffed bookshelves. It was Laudea's determination to read all of them one summer that sparked her interest in the richness of Shakespeare's written words. Laudea (pronounced: LAH-dee-ah) has also long been a fan of all kinds of animals, and could spend hours simply watching them be. Each new line discovered while creating her illustrations deepens Laudea's understanding of the myriad ways in which animals move and live. Laudea loves experimenting with new art techniques, and her favorite pieces of art are those that make you want to reach out and touch them. Though Laudea occupies most of her time creating art, thinking about art, or reading, she also takes some time to teach local students about both art and animals (often at the same time). Laudea lives in Portland, Oregon.; Title: Shakespeare's Zoo (Shakespeare's Paragon) (Volume 1) | [

24,788 | 2 | Amalyn was born in Metairie, Louisiana but moved to St. Louis after her father was relocated. This Missouri State straight-A student studied psychology, criminal justice, and child/family development while working four jobs and volunteering at a womens domestic violence shelter, mentoring at risk youth and serving various ranks in organizations on campus, including the President of the Criminal Justice Society. She first served in the public sector at Green Countys Courthouse; in Detention and then the Abuse & Neglect Unit. Her last public sector position was as victims advocate for St. Charles County Courthouse. But with budget cuts looming, Amalyn feared for her familys finances. She was offered a sales job in the private sector and now serves as a Marketing Representative for St. Louis Physical Therapy. In 2010 she founded Miles Against Melanoma, a registered 501c3 nonprofit to educate the public about melanoma and raise funds for struggling melanoma patients and families. She works full force for this organization voluntarily. Miles Message and Vision is as follows: To increase awareness of malignant melanoma and skin cancer through education, advocacy and research. To advocate for detection and to obtain skin examinations. We help people find dermatologists in their area as well. To ease the burden and to provide support for melanoma patients, caregivers and medical professionals through financial aid. To create a national association to aid in providing support to those with melanoma. To ultimately find a cure for melanoma. According to Martin, Miles Against Melanomas goal is to spread to every city in the United States to change the mindset of Americans and bring about community awareness in every state. Thanks to Ms. Martin, Miles Against Melanoma is in over 15 cities. To Amalyn, melanoma is a seemingly underrated and underexposed disease that needs more awareness. If you are interested in having an event in your city, please let her know at milesagainstmelanoma@yahoo.com. Like all moms, she strives to protect her two children, including protecting them from the dangers of the sun. Seeing families and individuals affected by melanoma is difficult for her which makes her work that much harder to educate others on sun safety. As with anything, reaching people in their prime will have the most profound effect and it is her greatest hope that the values will be instilled in not only her children but in all.; Title: Max and Mila at the Beach: A Sun Safety Guide for Kids | [

Now that they are parents, just like every immigrant they crave to introduce their child to the culture and values of their upbringing. Yet it is challenging to teach something while you are in the midst of adjusting to a different culture yourself. Subhash and Sujata both work in different disciplines and have different styles and backgrounds, but it is the upbringing of their son that brings them on the same page. That exact place where they meet is captured and reflected in their stories, where Subhash can express in words, and Sujata can illustrate them beautifully. Where he puts it in black and white, she adds color to it. You get the idea! These stories are their attempt to share a glimpse of their childhood days with their son. He is their inspiration to write short stories that have meaning to them and provide teaching in some shape or form.
