Book Description
Glorious flower meadows were part of our life force for 2000 years or more before we swept them away last century on the altar of progress. Is there to be no more drinking from their font of well being? This book says not. Lavishly illustrated, it describes their history and, from the few remaining examples, it shows us how beautiful they are, how rich in plants and animals. It coaches us in their creation, even in small gardens, or their restoration in larger fields. It tells of the extraordinary lives of even the most ordinary denizens, little secrets that make the meadow's world go around and the convoluted links between the many plants and animals that keep everything in balance. Their stories are woven, season-by-season, into a year in the life of two meadows, a small, garden meadow and a larger old paddock. We hear of birds that plant trees, bacteria that become plant organelles, plants that drink from other plants, plants that fool or poison insects and insects that turn the tables, ants that foster butterflies, mice that navigate by compass, snails that house bees and how all of these connections, together with the flow of energy and nutrients, result in a healthy ecosystem. The book even suggests how adults and children alike can see these things for themselves. So, read this book and help your local green space to become a meadow and revel in it.

Book Description
For twenty-three years during the golden age of radio in Canada, stories for children by Mary Grannan, "Just Mary," were broadcast by CBC and beloved across the country. She retired from broadcasting in 1962 and died in 1975, but her sweet-tempered and humorous stories still have the power to entertain, while recapturing the atmosphere of another time. Grannan published stories from Just Mary and Maggie Muggins in over thirty best-selling books, but she had other radio series that were never released in print. The "Just Mary" Reader presents for the first time a selection of her stories from two other radio drama series. Jubilee Road tells the adventures and misadventures of Johnny and Patty Little and their friend Salty Pickle. Or, as Johnny describes it: "We get into quite a few messes, but if you know us, you’ll know that it’s hardly ever our fault." In Land of Supposing, Grannan retold fairy tales and legends from around the world, as well as a few legends of her own making. Previously unpublished selections from Just Mary and Maggie Muggins complete the collection.

Book Description
How far would you go to keep a promise? Told from alternating points of view, Hidden Truths is a story of changing friendships, the lies we tell, the secrets we keep, and the healing power of forgiveness. Dani and Eric have been best friends since Dani moved next door in second grade. They bond over donuts, comic books, and camping on the Cape. Until one summer when everything changes. Did Eric cause the accident that leaves Dani unable to do the one thing in the world she most cares about? The question plagues him, and he will do anything to get answers about the explosion that injured her. But Dani is hurting too much to want Eric to pursue the truth—she just wants to shut him out and move on. Besides, Eric has a history of dropping things he starts. Eric knows that and is determined that this will be the one time he follows through. But what if his pursuit brings him into direct conflict with another friend? Where does Eric’s loyalty really lie?

Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK It is only when we overcome our disabilities that wreck our minds sanity Feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred and win them over with laurels of love and hope, our daily accomplishments over disappointments will we be able to encounter God in our daily steps as we walk towards that holy land to become his many pilgrims of peace, love, harmony and joyfulness. Turning INTO the ‘LIGHT OF THE WORLD!’ Another interesting derivative of ‘OR’ is the Hebrew root ‘ro-eh’, made with the letters ‘Reysh’ ‘Alef’ ‘Hey’. It includes the same letters as in ‘OR’ like an ORACLE of truth and upholding secrets of a secret garden nonetheless EDEN or PARADISE! The biblical prophet, the seer, is called in Hebrew ‘ro-eh’, which also comes from ‘OR’, ‘LIGHT’ and like the wind soughing through the trees in a mystical secret place where wilderness thrives and yet is a secret to all mankind. In the second chapter of the Book of Genesis, there appears for the first time a reference about the ‘Garden of Eden’ “And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of LIFE was in the midst of the garden, like the Dwarf apple tree in the middle of my book secret garden and all its beautiful characters, Mary, Dickon, Colin, the gardener Ben Weatherstaff and the magical creatures, many more poems and role roles to play their parts within my story book, with the magical robin bird beholding the secret key. The Tree was the knowledge of good and evil. A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers! (GENESIS 2:8-11) The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold! This is why it is no surprise to discover the Hebrew term for ‘Heaven’ or ‘Paradise’ is in fact ‘Gan Eden’ {גן עדן} – meaning the Garden of Eden…The Secret Garden! By Frances Hodgson Burnett penned by Leoni Robens in her own imaginative, soul nourishing, masterful and creative style!
