Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Magic Garden, located in Imnaha, Oregon, began as a mission project headed by Robin Martin. It was the dream of the members of the Joseph United Methodist Church to teach children and members of the community how to plant, grow, and harvest their food, all while encouraging joy in gardening. Over two tons of food have been grown and harvested over the past seven years the Magic Garden has been in operation. Most of the food is given away to kids, schools, and community organizations. And some of the produce is preserved and sold at the local farmers market in the summer and fall months to benefit the Magic Garden Project. The Magic Garden would not be possible without the devoted members of the Joseph United Methodist Church, Janie Tippett for donating the land used, the many community members who volunteer their time and materials, and of course, Robin Martin, whose dream has become a reality with countless hours of hard work, dedication, and of course, love.

Download or read book The Boy on the Swing written by Joe Harbot and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boy on the Swing portrays an individual in the throes of a corporation with intimidating authority and an almost inexplicable leverage to trap and injure. Upon finding a mysterious business card labelled 'Talk to God' in the street, protagonist Earl Hunt comes into contact with the Hope and Trust Foundation which offers the chance to meet God - for a price. After submitting credit card details during a bafflingly threatening phone interview, Earl proceeds to a visit to the Hope and Trust office full of unfathomable power games which alternate between geniality and intimidating menace. The promised meeting with 'God' arrives when, in a dingy room, Earl finally comes into contact with an old man of 85. From the pseudo business-evangelical spiel of the Hope and Trust Foundation to the frugal simplicity of the man presented as God, Joe Harbot's range and pace is cleverly broad and elusive. From a set-up which subtly suggests the mercenary exploitation of the lost and the lonely, the play's arc turns to darker and stranger themes of metaphysical significance. The Boy on the Swing is an enigmatic piece of writing, sometimes baffling and sometimes blackly funny. For all its bizarre and perplexing notes, the play has a smart, dark sense of humour and grapples with abstract, preternatural questions.
Download or read book Boy s Life written by Robert McCammon and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Alabama boy’s innocence is shaken by murder and madness in the 1960s South in this novel by the New York Times–bestselling author of Swan Song. It’s 1964 in idyllic Zephyr, Alabama. People either work for the paper mill up the Tecumseh River, or for the local dairy. It’s a simple life, but it stirs the impressionable imagination of twelve-year-old aspiring writer Cory Mackenson. He’s certain he’s sensed spirits whispering in the churchyard. He’s heard of the weird bootleggers who lurk in the dark outside of town. He’s seen a flood leave Main Street crawling with snakes. Cory thrills to all of it as only a young boy can. Then one morning, while accompanying his father on his milk route, he sees a car careen off the road and slowly sink into fathomless Saxon’s Lake. His father dives into the icy water to rescue the driver, and finds a beaten corpse, naked and handcuffed to the steering wheel—a copper wire tightened around the stranger’s neck. In time, the townsfolk seem to forget all about the unsolved murder. But Cory and his father can’t. Their search for the truth is a journey into a world where innocence and evil collide. What lies before them is the stuff of fear and awe, magic and madness, fantasy and reality. As Cory wades into the deep end of Zephyr and all its mysteries, he’ll discover that while the pleasures of childish things fade away, growing up can be a strange and beautiful ride. “Strongly echoing the childhood-elegies of King and Bradbury, and every bit their equal,” Boy’s Life, a winner of both the Bram Stoker and World Fantasy Awards, represents a brilliant blend of mystery and rich atmosphere, the finest work of one of today’s most accomplished writers (Kirkus Reviews).

Download or read book Ling Ling Bird Hears with his Magic Ears written by Tanya Saunders and published by AVID Language. This book was released on with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Ling Ling Bird Hears with his Magic Ears' takes us on an exciting journey through the world of sound - ideal for helping young children in the early stages of learning to listen and speak. We accompany Ling Ling Bird, who is deaf - his ears don't work but not to worry - he wears cochlear implants that help him to hear. Together we listen to what he hears with his super magic ears! "Ling Ling Bird likes the big moo cow...but not the cat that says meow. The lion is loud when it roars; so is the crocodile snapping its jaws!" Aimed at young children (0-3 years old) and early listeners (listening age of 0-3 years), this 36-page book is bursting with colour - illustrated throughout with bright and bold images, fun for little inquisitive people. The book is designed especially for families seeking a listening and spoken language outcome for their child/ren. Children first need to learn to listen before they can learn to speak. With a typically hearing child, this happens naturally and automatically; with a deaf child, who has gained access to sound through hearing aids and/or cochlear implants, the teaching process often needs to be more deliberate. The child first needs to learn to pay attention to sound, then to understand that sound has meaning and finally that it has power - they can use their voice to get what they want, to express themselves and to join in with others! Children will learn to imitate environmental sounds before they can say proper words - so for example, a child will say 'baa' before they say 'sheep'. This book allows children to hear a range of common environmental 'learning to listen' sounds (the more often they hear them, the easier it will be for them to eventually say them) as well as hearing the proper words. The book uses simple rhymes to link the fun 'learning to listen' sounds. The use of rhymes aids language development and helps to build phonological awareness. The book acknowledges that learning to listen and speak is hard work for deaf or hard of hearing children, who often experience heightened levels of auditory fatigue. At the end of the day, as at the end of this book, it is wonderfully relaxing for them to take off their magic ears and enjoy the total silence. ABOUT LING LING BIRD: This unstoppable, cochlear implant-wearing bird is on a mission to inspire deaf children to dream big, and to help more people understand both the ongoing challenges faced by - and incredible opportunities open to - deaf children today. Despite his profound hearing loss, he's not sad and he's not cross. He has bionic ears that help him to hear! He's proud of his individuality and bright exuberant personality. AUTHOR'S NOTE: While she is inspired by auditory verbal therapy, which teaches deaf children with cochlear implants and hearing aids to listen and speak, the author acknowledges that there are many different and valid approaches to deaf communication (including sign language, lip reading, auditory oral, total communication). The author fully respects that there is no categorically right or wrong approach; which option to pursue is a deeply personal choice for each and every family based on their own values, aspirations and what works best for them. The author is grateful for the advice and support of the Auditory Verbal UK (AVUK) team.
