Book Description
The concept for this story was provided by an artist friend of ours whose creation, "Gentle Persuasion," ignited a spark of an idea in Steve for a tale of innocence and hope. He proposed it to the artist and suggested she ask writer friends of hers to consider the project. Her reply, along with my support, was to convince Steve to accept the challenge and, after much cajoling, he accepted. It turned into a mission lasting over one year and the result, I feel, is definitely worth the wait. This is a story of sensitivity, pathos and humor as told through the charmingly simple narrative of Bean, a benevolent and immortal spirit, while at the same time involving the reader in complex thought-provoking voyages into political, religious, social and historical arenas. It is a heartbreaking tale of a young lad stricken with the malady of autism and of his family's sincere love and commitment to his plight. It is a tale seasoned with the introduction of a group of characters who have left their imprint, either directly or indirectly, on the life of that boy and, hopefully, on the reader. The story has been read by many people in all walks of life and encompassing diverse interests. While the reviews varied, as one would imagine, the major consensus of the feedback has been wildly enthusiastic: "I laughed, I cried, you made me think about things I haven't thought of before" this comment, although paraphrased any number of times, has been received from both male and female readers alike. This is the author's first novel. His background has been in the arts where he won awards as a graphic designer; dabbled with sculpture, illustration, interior design, and jewelry design, and as an award winning advertising photographer, which was his main occupation for thirty-one years. Prior to writing this novel, Steve had garnered a respected reputation, as well as numerous awards, as a scrimshander until problems with his eyesight put an end to that endeavor. The story of Bean and Ricky is a compilation of his vivid imagination, off times cynical sense of humor, personal experience and research succinctly gathered over a lifetime of keen observation. I sincerely believe that Bean is the embodiment of Steve's thoughts and beliefs and, while espousing pessimism, Steve is definitely a closet optimist.

Book Description
Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw's Papa Brings Me the World is a poignant picture book that celebrates the bond between parent and child, and follows their long-distance trip around the world. Most parents drive a car or ride a bus or train to work—but not Lulu’s papa. He navigates mountains, deserts, and oceans, each time returning home with pockets full of treasures. There’s an ancient calculator from China, a musical mbira from Zimbabwe, and a special game from Sumatra. But the best treasures are special stories Papa tells when he comes home—tales of playing peekaboo with rare birds in the Andes and befriending dragons in the Irish Sea. This long-distance love story between parent and child celebrates inclusivity, imagination, and the richness of global cultures. Christy Ottaviano Books

Book Description
The ultimate guide for parents who dream of having a little less chaos and a lot more time for the good things in life Written by mother of five, Nicole Avery, this book shows harried parents how, with just a bit of planning, family life can become easier to manage, less stressful, and decidedly more fun. "Dream on," you say? "I might as well try to herd cats as to get my kids to follow a lot of arbitrary rules!" And Nicole would agree, which is why Planning with Kids isn't like any other parenting guide out there. It was inspired by Nicole's blog of the same name, which, over the past three years, has garnered a huge audience of likeminded parents who have achieved nothing short of miraculous results following her advice. While other prescriptive guides offer mums and dads cook-cutter solutions to the challenges of raising kids, this handbook focuses on one simple, straightforward idea: by implementing a few simple strategies for how you do things, you'll make more time for you to be you and your kids to be kids. You'll find strategies for streamlining and enhancing everything from the routines of daily life, to family relationships, to budgeting and finances, playtime and much more! Contains a full section on menus and cooking, including recipes, supported online by a planning-with-family meal planner Divided into sections so that readers can dip-in and dip-out for information as they need it as their family expands and grows up!

Book Description
Words as Medicine What to say to your children to get them through the bumps, bruises, and crises of childhood. Falling off a bike, having a bad dream, getting stitches...sometimes a kiss isn't enough to make it all better. But what you say to your child in those first moments of pain or fear could make all the difference. Using techniques the authors have taught to doctors, nurses, and first responders, Verbal First Aid(tm) explains how words can be used to promote healing from burns, bruises, nightmares, asthma attacks, and more. It provides scripts and tips on how to short-circuit traumatic memories, sometimes just by speaking a sentence or two. This revolutionary book gives parents the responses they need to immediately stabilize their children's emotions. And these methods will build a foundation of confidence and inner strength that will help kids heal at the deepest level, and weather whatever hardships and difficulties they encounter throughout life.

Book Description
“Visions of kachinas guide doctor to spiritual healing in pandemic.” 2014 Finalist in the Willa Literary Award This is a book that once closed and last line read, my mind wandered to explore certain character motivations and potential follow-up responses. I don’t think an author has to answer every possibility, art comes into play best when the reader’s own imagination can wander within the story. Dr. Rachel Bisette is drawn to the Four Corners to lead the search for a vaccine against a lethal pandemic. One elusive indigenous woman, Eva Yellow Horn, carries the gift of immunity. In her search for Eva, Rachel discovers power beyond science, the secret of an environmental disaster, and the truth of her parents' death. It is part thriller and part mystery but more than that. /b?
