Review & Description

This is a book for Children with a Christian theme. This is the first in a series I refer to as "The Little Luke" books. Luke is a typical boy, aged 8 years old, who loves to ask lots of questions. He knows he can ask his best friend, Jesus, anything and so he does. In this series, each book will focus on one question that Luke wants answers to.
In this book, Luke wonders why he can't understand his dog Miller when he's barking. In other books, he'll ask Jesus questions about divorce, bullying, cheating, racism and more. All these stories are Biblically based and have a related verse at the end.
I hope you enjoy my take on how Jesus might answer a child's innocent questions through Love and understanding while still conveying Truth from Scripture.

These books are written with short sentences on each page and full of child-friendly illustrations. A child in 2nd grade and up should be able to read it by themselves. But younger than that will probably require a parent's help.This is a book for Children with a Christian theme. This is the first in a series I refer to as "The Little Luke" books.

Review & Description

SINOPSIS: Sara se despierta una noche y descubre una curiosa luz roja saliendo de la cocina. Al acercarse de puntillas, se encuentra con un ser diminuto dentro de la nevera comiéndose sus helados de chocolate. Sara intenta atraparle, pero el pequeño gnomo consigue escapar y, sin saber cómo, la niña es absorbida al interior del frigorífico. Así comienza una historia infantil de fantasía y aventuras en la que Sara descubrirá el mundo mágico de Mundo-Vera, ayudando al príncipe Rubiales a salvar el reino de las garras del malvado y maloliente Duque Roquefort. INICIO DE LA NOVELA: Hacía mucho rato que me habían mandado a la cama, pero era imposible dormir. ¡Qué calor hacía! Todo estaba muy oscuro y solo se escuchaba el tic tac del reloj del pasillo. Quería aguantarme pero ya no podía más, tenía que ir al baño. Así que me levanté muy despacio y, sin hacer ruido, salí de puntillas de la habitación. No quería despertar a mi madre porque me había castigado injustamente y estaba enfadada con ella. ―¡Sara, estás castigada! ―me había dicho esa misma mañana, muy cabreada. ―¡Yo no he sido mamá! ―Esta noche te has comido dos helados y encima lo niegas. ―Habrá sido el primo Roberto. ―Cuando se fue tu primo, saqué el pescado para la cena y los helados seguían allí. ¿Cómo explicas eso? ―Jo, no es justo. Y no era justo. La noche anterior alguien se había comido dos helados de chocolate, mis preferidos, y mi madre me había echado a mí la culpa. Pero os aseguro que yo no había sido. Y lo peor es que ya solo quedaban otros dos helados de chocolate. Estaba ya al final del pasillo cuando, de repente, una luz roja comenzó a brillar al otro lado. Parecía venir de la cocina. No podían ser mis padres porque les oía dormir y roncar en su habitación. Entonces, ¿quién había allí? Me acerqué muy despacio sin hacer ningún ruido. Tenía un poco de miedo, pero también sentía mucha curiosidad por descubrir lo que pasaba. La luz roja salía de la cocina a través de la puerta entreabierta, dibujando sombras extrañas en la pared. Me asomé con mucho cuidado y me quedé pasmada. El congelador estaba abierto y el envoltorio de uno de mis helados de chocolate estaba tirado en el suelo. Pero lo más increíble era que dos botas rojas y diminutas asomaban del congelador. Las botas brillaban en la oscuridad, mientras su pequeño dueño pataleaba y gruñía. Parecía muy concentrado, mordisqueando algo de la nevera. ¡Otro helado de chocolate! ...

Review & Description

Leading up to the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing, the excitement of this momentous event is captured through the eyes of a child in this glorious picture book, reformatted with a new cover design. Mark Haddon is the prize-winning, highly-acclaimed author of the best-selling novel 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time'. Years ago there was a little boy who dreamed of rocketing to the moon, of landing on the crumbly rock and walking across the Sea of Tranquility. He borrowed library books and read how astronauts had orbited the earth and walked in space. And every night he hoped that they would find a way to land on the moon and walk where he had dreamed of walking. And eventually, one cloudless night, they did! Read more

After learning how to make balloon animals at camp, Emily and Elizabeth set out to create the ultimate balloon twist book -- for kids, by kids, with every page in full-color photographs. They left out the complicated designs and twists that required big hands, keeping only the projects that were fun and simple to learn. The book starts with seven-year-old Elizabeth's easiest balloon twists and works up to ten-year-old Emily's more advanced two and three-balloon creations. Included are suggestions on how to buy a pump and balloons, as well as warnings for noise-shy twisters who want to know when a part of the project needs extra care to avoid popping the balloon.

Healing Hearts of Nature: Five Therapeutic Fables for Children, is the first read-a-aloud book of a self-help series for parents and children. Through the use of funny, charismatic, and innocent characters that experience day-to-day situations such as being bullied, skipping school, experiencing low self-esteem, or being single parented, not only are the fables perfect as bedtimes stories, but are therapeutic in nature.  The book is appropriate for children of ages 7-12, but the involvement of parents, mental health professionals, or teachers, is strongly recommended for the healing process to take place.

Awards
2011 Next Generation Indie Book Award Winner (Children's/Juvenile Fiction)

The Kringle Chronicles: Catching Santa by Marc Franco is refreshingly new and different. Unique characters, vivid hi-tech environments, and fun make this energizing story enjoyable for any age. It is six days before Christmas and weird things are happening in 11-year-old Jakob's Florida neighborhood. His friends are convinced their Christmas is in danger, and then live snowmen strangely appear and confirm the threat. Jakob dismisses the bizarre events as an elaborate hoax concocted by the neighborhood bully. But when the bully turns into smoke, a devilish stranger appears as the mastermind behind the mayhem demanding that Jakob catch Santa...or else!

Review & Description

This delightful alphabet book begins with a charming magician who summons animals from around the world. His enchanting spell activates the alphabet, as well as the imagination, bringing each animal into the book letter by letter. Fresh, humorous illustrations over colorful landscapes show creatures in their natural environments- from the yard to the sea, from the Antarctic to the desert. Entertaining animals crawl, jiggle, and float- some are friendly, others a little odd and unfamiliar. Rhyme and alliteration make this exciting alphabet adventure especially fun to read aloud time and time again. Read more

Review & Description

In the shadows they lurk fueled by intentions most despicable. Shape shifting demons wandering to and fro seeking those children whom they may, in their terms, "collect." Fueled by the pinions of dark magic, these remorseless henchmen relentlessly hunt for the missing Apprentice. For unbeknownst to that child, he or she holds the key to life and death...all that is, all that was... Will you be next? The question is not will, but when. No child is overlooked. How will you defend yourself against their evil onslaught... And who would believe you if you could? Don't bother to look around. Of course, they're watching you...even now as you read this. It's just a matter of time. And should you be selected, they most certainly will not renounce their claim upon you. More importantly, what happens to you if they discover you're not the one they so desperately hope to find?

The people of Sweetwater Massachusetts are alarmed. Children have been going missing. Are they runaways? Is a serial killer on the loose? Or, could the killer truly be an unsuspecting child? CREED GRIFFON is a twelve year old boy accused of abducting ISABELLE POLANSKI, a missing female classmate. She also happens to be someone who enjoyed bullying Creed. Little does he know that hideous Giests are responsible for her kidnapping! As the case against Creed builds, he begins having what he thinks are nightmares involving frightening creatures. However, after a daytime encounter with one, he quickly learns that his frightmares are very real. Through the near death experience of his best friend, BURTON WOODS, and impending incarceration, he's thrust into the realm of magic, mystical creatures, friendship and betrayal. During his journey, Creed discovers that his current childhood is not his first. In turn, he quickly learns he's capable of powerful magic, called Craft. Unfortunately, he hasn't perfected his new found skills and finds himself in some very hair-raising situations!
 
His quest deepens when he realizes he must find the sacred chronicle in order to clear his name and reclaim full power and knowledge of a past he has forgotten. More challenges arise when he discovers that he's not the only one searching for the holy book. But why would anyone else want it? To make matters worse, a mysterious tattoo on his left hand is slowly spreading. It's a mark that might just get him killed. Creed Griffon is aided on his adventure by a shape shifting body guard who just so happens to have an insatiable sweet tooth, the DRUIX, TIME BENDERS, and a WAYMAKER that is very proud of his ferret heritage. Together they battle GIESTS, a BANDOLIX, ROOT SERPENTS, BRIDGE TROLLS, GHEDDONS, the POLICE, FALLON, and DENEGAUL - the core of all that is evil. Time is running out and a race ensues to find the holy writings.

The Road to Dendura is tagged as Young Adult Fiction, Children's Fiction, Best book for Young Adults, Young Adult Literature, and some blogs are even calling Creed Griffon the next Harry Potter. It is suggested for individuals who have enjoyed J. K. Rowling's, Harry Potter, C. S. Lewis', The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, J. R. R. Tolkien's, The Hobbit and Rick Riordian's The Lightning Thief. Great for ages 9 to 99 years old!

The Road to Dendura is a nonstop action packed fiction adventure about magic, trust, betrayal, unlikely friendships, good versus evil, facing fear, and the transference of a young boy into a young man. It is a tale filled with mystical creatures for hungry imaginations, and in turn, will invite readers of all ages to happily leave their current world behind and enter into the pages of Dendura. *****In the meantime, make sure you never pick up money lying on the ground, never lose your cell phone, and always be sure to keep an eye on your dresser drawers!

Review & Description

Olivia remembers her trip to the circus very well. The performers were out sick, so she had to do everything. She...

• rode on a unicycle
• jumped on a trampoline
• juggled five balls!
• tamed lions
• and flew through the air.

Step into the ring with Olivia, where the lights are dim, the color soft, and a little girl's imagination is the main attraction.When it comes time to tell the class what she did on her vacation, Olivia isn't at all nervous. In fact, she remembers it quite clearly--she went to the circus, you see. "But when we got there, all the circus people were out sick with ear infections." What are the odds? But the show must go on! Fortunately, Olivia jumps right in to help out--riding elephants, posing as the Tattooed Lady (she draws on the pictures with a marker), taming lions, walking tightropes, juggling, clowning around, and more. In a marvelous fold-out, four-panel spread, our porcine heroine even reigns supreme as the Queen of the Trampoline. "And that's how I saved the circus. And now I am famous." Olivia looks proud. Her teacher looks mad. Ian Falconer shines in this dryly hilarious sequel to his 2001 Caldecott Honor Book Olivia. The charcoal and gouache illustrations perfectly capture Olivia's earnest expressions. Be prepared to be charmed anew! (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson Read more

Review & Description

This book is about my life growing up, but in a different perspective. My Mom started reading books about Autism when I was really young. She wanted to know all she could so that she could help me. However, I do have one problem with this. All of those other autism books you have probably read are written by adults. To my knowledge, there has never been a book that makes you see Autism from a child’s perspective. Though many professionals have studied autism which can make them somewhat experienced as an observer, most do not personally struggle with it day by day. They do not know what it is like to have different fixations, or how important is it to an autistic child. This book provides insight from the Autistic child's perspective and provides a Journal section to help the reader express their emotions. Read more

Review & Description

SINOPSIS:

Sara se despierta una noche y descubre una curiosa luz roja saliendo de la cocina. Al acercarse de puntillas, se encuentra con un ser diminuto dentro de la nevera comiéndose sus helados de chocolate.

Sara intenta atraparle, pero el pequeño gnomo consigue escapar y, sin saber cómo, la niña es absorbida al interior del frigorífico.

Así comienza una historia infantil de fantasía y aventuras en la que Sara descubrirá el mundo mágico de Mundo-Vera, ayudando al príncipe Rubiales a salvar el reino de las garras del malvado y maloliente Duque Roquefort.


INICIO DE LA NOVELA:

Hacía mucho rato que me habían mandado a la cama, pero era imposible dormir. ¡Qué calor hacía!
Todo estaba muy oscuro y solo se escuchaba el tic tac del reloj del pasillo. Quería aguantarme pero ya no podía más, tenía que ir al baño. Así que me levanté muy despacio y, sin hacer ruido, salí de puntillas de la habitación. No quería despertar a mi madre porque me había castigado injustamente y estaba enfadada con ella.
―¡Sara, estás castigada! ―me había dicho esa misma mañana, muy cabreada.
―¡Yo no he sido mamá!
―Esta noche te has comido dos helados y encima lo niegas.
―Habrá sido el primo Roberto.
―Cuando se fue tu primo, saqué el pescado para la cena y los helados seguían allí. ¿Cómo explicas eso?
―Jo, no es justo.
Y no era justo. La noche anterior alguien se había comido dos helados de chocolate, mis preferidos, y mi madre me había echado a mí la culpa. Pero os aseguro que yo no había sido. Y lo peor es que ya solo quedaban otros dos helados de chocolate.
Estaba ya al final del pasillo cuando, de repente, una luz roja comenzó a brillar al otro lado. Parecía venir de la cocina. No podían ser mis padres porque les oía dormir y roncar en su habitación. Entonces, ¿quién había allí?
Me acerqué muy despacio sin hacer ningún ruido. Tenía un poco de miedo, pero también sentía mucha curiosidad por descubrir lo que pasaba. La luz roja salía de la cocina a través de la puerta entreabierta, dibujando sombras extrañas en la pared. Me asomé con mucho cuidado y me quedé pasmada. El congelador estaba abierto y el envoltorio de uno de mis helados de chocolate estaba tirado en el suelo.
Pero lo más increíble era que dos botas rojas y diminutas asomaban del congelador. Las botas brillaban en la oscuridad, mientras su pequeño dueño pataleaba y gruñía. Parecía muy concentrado, mordisqueando algo de la nevera. ¡Otro helado de chocolate! ...
