Book Description
This heartwarming picture book reassures children that a parent’s love never lets go—based on the poignant lyrics of JJ Heller’s beloved lullaby “Hand to Hold.” “May the living light inside you be the compass as you go / May you always know you have my hand to hold.” With delightful illustrations and an engaging rhyme scheme, this book offers the promise of security and love every child’s heart longs to know. From skipping stones and counting stars to climbing trees and telling stories, every moment is wrapped snugly in the certain warmth of a parent’s presence and God’s blessing. With poignancy and joy, this bedtime read captures the unconditional love parents want their children to know but so often fail to express amid the chaos of daily life.

Feet may be rooted on the ground, but the head, heart and imagination often turn to the sky. Cloud shadows on the hillside bring fantastic possibilities to the fanciful heart, and so it is with these collections of short stories and novellas. There were once giants in the land. What happened to them, and what does it have to do with the sky? Stars are incredibly far away, but can we devise a way to get there? Can we learn enough about physics to disappear in the light from heaven ? The wind wafts through the sky. Where does it go, and where does it come from? These are some of the questions posed by the stories in this book of marvels and fantasy.

Book Description
Jovita Ló-Rran was much more than a petty thief... ...But who doesn’t love an adventure? Thousands of years in the future and millions of light years away, the Ground is probably the worst place to live in the known universe and is definitely the worst part of the city-planet Yilzoc. There is almost nothing Jovita wants more than an escape until she finds adventure in the form of a ring with a pricey reward. Leaving the Ground and her brother, Zoren, for the first time, Jo meets Neo, a boy from the Sky - the highest level of Yilzoc. In exchange for his ring and her accepting an invitation to a dinner party, he agrees to hire a ship and crew for Jo so she can leave the planet, but a chance encounter with the head of the Council of United System sends Jo running from their deal. Jo, Neo, and Zoren join a team of outcasts and runaways on the Cyphris and leave Yilzoc. As they travel through a universe tettering on the edge of galactic war, it becomes clear that Jo is not what she seems. Will it be too late for the others when they learn the truth? Is it already too late for Jovita to escape?
