Download or read book Grandpa s Magic Hair written by Irene Heaney and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-01-21 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this story came about when my daughter was young. We were visiting family in Scotland, and she was very curious about the wig worn by my father-in-law. We called it Grandpas magic hair as he only wore it when he was going out. Many years later, I decided to develop the idea into a picture book for young children. The illustrations give clues as to what is about to happen in each situation, and the repetition allows children to become more involved with the story. The underlying message in the book is about showing kindness and helping one another.

Download or read book Our Better Nature written by Darrell W. McNabb and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a collection of five short stories, which were inspired by the many selfless, random acts of kindness and caring, which were extended to others by simple, everyday people in ordinary places, and the positive and profound effect those deeds had on their lives. The book highlights that higher nature of humanity, "our better nature," which we all aspire to, and it is the author's intention to raise these unsung heroes out of obscurity and present them in the light of their overwhelming generosity. These are uplifting stories about life, love, faith and family; about compassion and caring, sorrow and joy; about loss and tragedy; about unfortunate endings and hopeful new beginnings. They are masterfully told in the backdrop of the Christmas season, charged with elements of magic and wonder, revealing fascinating twists and turns. These tales, while fanciful, are true, and save for a touch of color, they are delivered to the reader exactly the way they happened. Alas, those who play out their parts in these pages will know the truth of it. As these tales were given to the author, so he gives them to you and your family. It is the author's expressed wish that you are richly entertained and that these stories may serve to elevate and inspire.

Book excerpt: A powerful suspense novel narrated by a young girl who must fend for herself and her little brother after a brutal bear attack. While camping with her family on a remote island, five-year-old Anna awakes in the night to the sound of her mother screaming. A rogue black bear, three hundred pounds of fury, is attacking the family's campsite -- and pouncing on her parents as prey. At her dying mother's faint urging, Anna manages to get her brother into the family's canoe and paddle away. But when the canoe runs aground on the edge of the woods, the sister and brother must battle hunger, the elements, and a wilderness alive with danger. Lost and completely alone, they find that their only hope resides in Anna's heartbreaking love for her family, and her struggle to be brave when nothing in her world seems safe anymore. This is a story with a small narrator and a big heart. Cameron gracefully plumbs Anna's young perspective on family, responsibility, and hope, charting both a tragically premature loss of innocence and a startling evolution as Anna reasons through the impossible situations that confront her. Lean and confident, and told in the innocent and honest voice of a five-year-old, The Bear is a transporting tale of loss -- but also a poignant and surprisingly funny adventure about love and the raw instincts that enable us to survive.
