Book excerpt: A simple housecat named Simon encounters some bigger cats: Lion, Puma, Panther, Tiger, and Cheetah. Each of the big cats has something to say about Simon not being “cat” enough. According to them, he just doesn’t measure up. He doesn’t have Lion’s mane or Cheetah’s spots. He doesn’t sleep in trees like Panther or climb mountains like Puma. He’s small and fuzzy, not big and strong. But ultimately, Simon shows the big cats that he’s just like them . . . only smaller. A celebration of both individuality and community, I Am a Cat is a strong debut that shows we’re all more alike than we think . . . if we look closely enough.

Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller! From the author of The Traveler’s Gift comes a story of common wisdom based on the remarkable true story of “Jones,” a mysterious old man who has a knack for showing up in people's lives at just the right time, providing priceless lessons about love, life, and the importance of perspective. Orange Beach, Alabama, is a simple town filled with simple people. But like all humans on the planet, the good folks of Orange Beach have their share of problems—marriages teetering on the brink of divorce, young adults giving up on life, businesspeople on the verge of bankruptcy, as well as the many other obstacles that life seems to dish out to the masses. These situations can seem like dead ends, but to an old drifter named Jones with a gift for seeing what others miss, there is no such thing as a dead end. It only takes a little “perspective,” he says, to recognize the miracles in our moments, the seeds of greatness tucked into our struggles. Appearing when things look darkest, the mysterious, elderly man with white hair carrying a battered old suitcase shows up when he’s needed most. “Your time on this earth is a gift to be used wisely,” he says. “Don’t squander your words or your thoughts. Consider even the simplest action you take, for your lives matter beyond measure…and they matter forever.” The Noticer will provide you with: A better understanding of life’s challenges and proper perspective for tackling them Practical yet powerful methods of motivation, encouragement, and resolve for those struggling A fresh and insightful perspective on how people can change their view of the world, find strength, and move beyond their problems Based on a remarkable true story, The Noticer beautifully blends fiction and allegory in an entertaining and inspiring instruction manual for better living. The story of Jones continues in The Noticer Returns and Just Jones.

Download or read book Little Olive written by Kimberly Hoffman and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little Olive spent the afternoon exploring her new neighborhood, discovering a garden in the park filled with daisies. "Love me, love me not," she whispered. She walked a little farther and found a patch of green clover among three weeping willows. As the breeze nipped her nose, she sprawled in the shade. The weeping willows sang to her in hushed voices while she searched for a four-leaf clover. Maybe if she found a four-leaf clover, she'd have a little luck in finding friends, she thought. As the sun began to set, Little Olive headed toward home. She lumbered along, head hung low, murmuring her thoughts out loud, "Will anyone in this new place like me? How am I going to find friends?" Little Olive is a book about discovery and self-acceptance. It is the third published book by Kimberly Hoffman. Other books include Grandpa Paul, the River Pirate and Planting Pickles with Papa Dan. One of the best parts of storytelling is taking real life and adding a twist of fiction. All of Hoffman's works are based on real people, real events, and now real dogs. Hoffman's love of dogs moved her to feature Little Olive, her eleven-pound Italian greyhound, in this heartwarming story about feeling different. While Little Olive is the key character, the book was inspired by Hoffman's eldest daughter, Katelyn. All twelve dogs (and a cat) portrayed in the book have been part of Hoffman's extended family. The characteristics portrayed, clear down to Ted E Bear smelling like strawberries, are all true. Quinn is "quanky," and Piper does have a directional tail. And Penny the chihuahua? She's a talker for sure. Then there's Little Olive. She is especially unique with her blind left eye and toothless grin but oh so adorable in countless ways. Her spirit shines through as she overcomes her fears while simultaneously discovering that everyone (and every dog) is wonderfully different.
