Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning author Elissa Brent Weissman comes a collection of quirky, smart, and vulnerable childhood works by some of today’s foremost children’s authors and illustrators—revealing young talent, the storytellers they would one day become, and the creativity they inspire today. Everyone’s story begins somewhere… For Linda Sue Park, it was a trip to the ocean, a brand-new typewriter, and a little creative license. For Jarrett J. Krosoczka, it was a third grade writing assignment that ignited a creative fire in a kid who liked to draw. For Kwame Alexander, it was a loving poem composed for Mother’s Day—and perfected through draft after discarded draft. For others, it was a teacher, a parent, a beloved book, a word of encouragement. It was trying, and failing, and trying again. It was a love of words, and pictures, and stories. Your story is beginning, too. Where will it go?

Book excerpt: “A novelistic mosaic that simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious.” —The New York Times Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth -- musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies -- the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children. Now this astonishing novel is made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and second and third appendices. The story remains unchanged, focusing on a young family that moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story -- of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.

Book excerpt: The best thing a Father can do for his children, is love their mother. Our Dad did just that for 61 years before our Mothers death in 2008. They raised six of us during their life together. Since Moms death our Dad has done some writing about his life. The document he has produced is what I am using as a guide to record and publish the story of his life and our family. My sister Patricia took the time to type most of Dads memoir. If Dad and Patty had not put in all that effort this book would not have been written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking about love, Jesus said we should be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. Was Jesus joking? Was he setting us up for failure? Or was Jesus offering us a greater experience of God’s love than we are currently settling for? Still Moving is about the journey of love’s perfection. God wants to make us perfect in love in this life. And God wants us to strive after God’s perfect and perfecting love. Still Moving is for individuals and groups seeking to give shape to their formation, to clarify the goal of their faith, and to live in deeper intimacy with God. Areas include: •Learning and living God’s will for your life and for the world •Joining your life story to God’s story and cultivating the mind of Christ •Simplifying your bodily life and experiencing God’s power in your body •Living intentionally from the deepest part of your being in union with God •Tearing down personal and societal walls of prejudice, class, violence, and ideology Still Moving includes sections for group discussion or further personal exploration and action. So let’s go! The journey of love’s perfection begins with the first step.

Book excerpt: Get Going With Creative Writing is a new, up to date, action packed series of five study books, that encourage children to write. They are aimed at children between the ages of 7 and 11, who have acquired some degree of reading fluency. They provide excellent writing practice for those children preparing to take 11+ examinations or S.A.T.S, but will also benefit other children with special needs, or where English is a second language. These books have a lively magazine type format: featuring short stories to read and a variety of up to date non-fiction texts that will impact young readers and provide starting points for writing. Follow up activities will inspire even the most reluctant writers to write stories, poems, play scripts, diaries, reports, persuasive leaflets, letters and more. More than this, the child will learn writing techniques including: simple, compound and complex sentences – connectives - grammar tips - harder vocabulary and punctuation from our guinea pig guide. The books are suitable for use by teachers in the classroom or parents at home. The themed books can be used in any order, though the subject matter of ‘About Me' and ‘All About Animals' may appeal to younger children, who start working through the series. The themed books have been written by a teacher or tutor, have been trialled by the children she teaches and comply with the National Curriculum. This is the third book in this excellent series from Guinea Pig Education.
