Book excerpt: Sully the Seahorse is a heart-warming, beautifully illustrated rhyming picture book which encourages children to believe in themselves and to be proud of who they are. It's the day of the Sea School Stars annual talent contest and little Sully really wants to win!! Oh, how he longs to be a super-fast fish or a gigantic, strong whale. Poor Sully never wins ANYTHING! This heart-warming story follows Sully on his race for victory - where he comes across a BIG challenge and discovers his own very special talents. ON YOUR MARKS, READY......GET SET GO!!! The ocean is buzzing with excitement practising their performances for the competition....all except for Sully who doesn't feel very good at anything at all. "The contest starts soon," reminded Miss Trout. Sully felt worried and started to shout: "Do I have to take part, Miss? Please say no." "Yes," she replied. "You should give it a go." Poor Sully becomes disheartened as he loses some of the races, but the contest comes to a halt when a dark shadow descends upon Sea School and threatens to change Sully's future forever! Will Sully find his sparkle before it's too late? The book explores the issue of self-esteem in a fun and heart-warming way and encourages children to celebrate differences and appreciate their own talents and qualities. It's sometimes hard for children to understand that they can't always be the best at everything. One of life's most important lessons is learning how to deal with making mistakes and being able to lose! Children sometimes find it difficult to understand why they came last in the race, or why they never win the writing contest. Sully discovers in the story that if you keep on trying then you'll find your own special talents - and that's the message for children too - just keep trying and be proud of who you are! It encourages children to become resilient so that they can bounce back from challenges and failure. This is the second book in my Sea School Stories series. The first book, Monty the Manatee, focuses on kindness and anti-bullying and has sold thousands of copies around the world.
Download or read book Unfinished written by Anthony T. Hincks and published by Booksmango. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Unfinished! It’s a group of stories that I have written over the years to help teach reader’s comprehension. Because it’s reader’s comprehension, I didn’t need to incorporate the usual start, endings, and/or middle to what would have been a long exercise. The stories cover many genre as I don’t believe in sticking to just one type of storyline. I like to try and think ahead of the reader, so I usually have lots of twists, and turns in any story that I write. Not all the stories will make sense to you, but to me they do. Just as I don’t expect everyone to like my style of writing. It would be good if you did, but I am not that ignorant or that silly. If the stories are well received, I may end up writing longer stories and turning them into a novel of sorts. This first volume contains forty stories which I had sitting on my computer, so all I had to do was do a minor bit of editing to bring them back to life. I hope that you have a read, and enjoy them. Remember, if you don’t, well I won’t lose any sleep over it. All the best, and enjoy what life can give you, and what you can offer it in return. Anthony T. Hincks

Book excerpt: The battle is going full force and nothing is being held back. Steven Boyd and the Blufirs are attacking with everything they have to defeat Pedro and his friends. Meanwhile, Pedro and his group are doing all they possibly can do to hold them back until reinforcements arrive. With the help of some of their allies, Pedro has been able to stay one step ahead of the enemy but time is quickly running out. With all the new weapons being used, no one can predict what is coming next. If something drastic doesn’t change and fast, it might be too late for anyone else to stop Steven Boyd and the Blufirs from taking over the Earth, destroying it, and eventually every other world, realm, and empire that exists as well. Pedro and his friends are well aware of the consequences if they fail to stop their enemy from advancing. With limited weapons they are forced to depend on their allies’ resources which have so far turned out to be odd but effective. Although Jim Davis is a royal pain in the rear, he has finally proved his worth as a valuable resource and gained everyone’s respect. However, David is the real star of the group. With his surprising knowledge, skills, and resources, he has allowed the others to take full advantage in their decision making and, so far, it has continued to keep them alive. Steven Boyd believes Pedro is some kind of a good luck charm that continues to allow the others to remain safely out of his grasp. With the assistance of a new acquaintance he meets, Steven Boyd decides to use black magic as a new weapon against Pedro and his friends. With deadly results, he attacks and it appears he might be winning the war. He should be happy but is surprised and horrified to discover that there will always be a price to pay for using black magic.

Download or read book Adventures in Memory written by Hilde Østby and published by Greystone Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novelist and a neuroscientist uncover the secrets of human memory. What makes us remember? Why do we forget? And what, exactly, is a memory? With playfulness and intelligence, Adventures in Memory answers these questions and more, offering an illuminating look at one of our most fascinating faculties. The authors—two Norwegian sisters, one a neuropsychologist and the other an acclaimed writer—skillfully interweave history, research, and exceptional personal stories, taking readers on a captivating exploration of the evolving understanding of the science of memory from the Renaissance discovery of the hippocampus—named after the seahorse it resembles—up to the present day. Mixing metaphor with meta-analysis, they embark on an incredible journey: “diving for seahorses” for a memory experiment in Oslo fjord, racing taxis through London, and “time-traveling” to the future to reveal thought-provoking insights into remembering and forgetting. Along the way they interview experts of all stripes, from the world’s top neuroscientists to famous novelists, to help explain how memory works, why it sometimes fails, and what we can do to improve it. Filled with cutting-edge research and nimble storytelling, the result is a charming—and memorable—adventure through human memory.

Download or read book War Between Souls Over First Universe written by Tiffany Thompson and published by Tiffany Thompson. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SYNOPSISThis volume is laced with notions of reincarnation and afterlife. For that same reason, WAR BETWEEN SOULS OVER FIRST UNIVERSE is a supernatural story about the pure, elder immortal souls,who want nothing more than to teach their young delinquent souls how to earn immortality and stop reincarnating their tainted demonic souls. Likewise, this book confirms that you cannot separate the soul from the notion of the afterlife. That afterlife consists of reincarnating demonic souls-Hellitheons. Hellish as they are, they refuse to obey the Creators. They have reincarnated themselves in bodies (human and otherwise) for billions and billions of years. In addition, they are lingering here on earth, pretending to be MOVING ON trying to take over what does not belong to them. Reincarnation is not a rarity. It is a daily occurrence. Remember, Plato as well as Christianity tells us-in essence- that the soul is the power that runs the body/machine and that souls are capable of reincarnating/recollecting. Tiffany is telling you that before that body is worn out its souls are tormented, manipulated and even ripped out forcing displaced souls to transfer their energy (power-essence) into another body-be that animal or human.

Download or read book Riding Free written by Imtiaz Anees and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'My heart was pounding ... yet I was sitting still! This was the most exciting moment in my life and the culmination of my boyhood dream. I was where thousands of eventing riders around the world had dreamt of being-the Olympics.' This is the story of a young boy with an impossible dream - competing at the Olympics. From the age of four, Imtiaz Anees took to horse-riding like fish to water. It soon became a passion, one that continued through his life, beginning with his first competitive win at the age of six, eventually winning multiple equestrian events both nationally and internationally. Imtiaz is the only Indian rider to complete an equestrian three-day event at the Olympics, in Sydney in 2000, at the age of thirty, in an elite sport long associated with royalty and wealth and primarily the army in India. In Riding Free, Imtiaz re-traces the major milestones of his riveting twenty-year-long journey. The stories he tells are heartfelt, emotional and inspirational for the next generation of dreamers-a way to 'give back', in small measure, the enormous goodwill and help he received from all kinds of people in his Olympics journey. Behind Imtiaz's success are also the struggles and setbacks that pushed him to work harder and achieve peak performance. In a sport where the result depends on both man and animal, the deep bond Imtiaz shares with his horses will leave animal lovers spellbound. Here is a story that will inspire every athlete to 'never give in'.
