When notebook paper, pencils, and most schoolbooks were declared dangerous to her health, her GPA imploded, along with her plans for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So often, the thought of death evokes our worst fears. We anticipate the opposite of anything we call living. Yet, something different happens when we invite death into the conversation of our lives, for it enters alongside all the gratitude, love, and beauty. Death reveals these gifts as often as tragedy and pain. Around the bedside of the dying, we learn an intimacy that includes the entirety of the human experience. We open rather than fight or run. We gaze into the eyes of death to ask what shines through all the brokenness. What remains? Amita Lhamo uses her luminous stories to reveal the power of simple human kindness and the profundity of being. Within such places, souls peek through the soft spaces of broken hearts like dandelions blooming in the cracks of sidewalks. No matter which way we turn, we find one garden, one ground-we discover the wonder of any heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cracks in the sidewalk that go on forever Are crazy and crumbling and snaking together. The Canadian tradition of illustrated children’s humorous poetry collections begins with Dennis Lee’s Alligator Pie. To that tradition is added this latest worthy contribution, The Cracks in the Sidewalk by Gordon Chisholm. Many of these 30 poems, accompanied by 32 black-and-white line-drawing illustrations, provide a humorous and playful view of common everyday experiences that children have, such as simply walking along on a sidewalk. Other poems are whimsical flights of fancy or observations of the natural world. All together, these fun verses aim at widening children's sense of curiosity and wonder, and promoting feelings of self assurance and confidence in their abilities. I wish I had an Artobot To draw the lines that I cannot, To choose the colours that fit the scene, So that my pictures look bright and clean. An Artobot to shade wherever I please, To tint and tone with skilful ease.
