Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just try not to smile! A positively inspiring picture book from the creator of the Caldecott Honor–winning Interrupting Chicken. Because Amelia smiles as she skips down the street, her neighbor Mrs. Higgins smiles too, and decides to send a care package of cookies to her grandson Lionel in Mexico. The cookies give Lionel an idea, and his idea inspires a student, who in turn inspires a ballet troupe in England! And so the good feelings that started with Amelia’s smile make their way around the world, from a goodwill recital in Israel, to an impromptu rumba concert in Paris, to a long-awaited marriage proposal in Italy, to a knitted scarf for a beloved niece back in New York. Putting a unique spin on "what goes around comes around," David Ezra Stein’s charmingly illustrated story reminds us that adding even a small dose of kindness into the world is sure to spur more and more kindness, which could eventually make its way back to you!
Download or read book Learning to Love a Western Sky written by Amelia Díaz Ettinger and published by . This book was released on 2020-09 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Latinx Studies. Women's Studies. Ettinger's second book of poetry reflects the assimilation of the immigrant into the host landscape. It is the transition from nostalgia to integration and the review of aging, loving, and betrayal in this foreign home. "These poems sing a duet of longing--love for a Puerto Rico far away and long ago, and devotion to the American West here and now. We would be poorer without such witness to both homelands, here in conversation through poetry. The rich double consciousness of Amelia Ettinger travels the lyric highway between then and now, there and here. She reminds us to recover the exotic dimensions of memory and savor direct experience now."--Kim Stafford "By turns personal, topical, and erotic, the poems in LEARNING TO LOVE A WESTERN SKY search for moments of stillness and familiarity in an era of displacements. Like the psalmodist in exile in Babylon, Ettinger is full of grief and longing for her youth in her Caribbean Zion to which she sings her many devotions, aging in a foreign land."--David Axelrod "LEARNING TO LOVE A WESTERN SKY ranges widely from Ettinger's home in the Grande Ronde, to her beloved patria Puerto Rico, in poems of love and sorrow, aging and memory, art and death, with compassion always at the core. This is a poet with a particular gift for surprising rhythms and patterns of sound, and she brings to each poem, most impressively, an individual, distinctive voice. These are wonderful, if sometimes troubling poems--exactly what I come to poetry for."--Molly Gloss

Book excerpt: The Final Warning is a psychological thriller based on a documented true story. Many of the unexplainable supernatural events that occur in this story are based on actual events confirmed by court records and the legal depositions of witnesses. Father Tony DiMarco, an expert at deciphering ancient scrolls, was transferred from his parish in Los Angeles to a secret chamber deep in the bowels of The Vatican. He discovered messages hidden in ancient scrolls. They revealed the devil had challenged God. He claimed that with more power over the world, he could win more souls than God and destroy mankind. God accepted the challenge and granted the devil one-hundred years to prove it. The devil chose the Twentieth Century. The devils reign is over, but he left the world in chaos. Many powerful men and government leaders were greedy and corrupt. Their lust for power, fortune and fame, even at the expense of others, became their Golden Calf. Premonitions, a near-death experience, and visions gave Father DiMarco and his niece Amy Anderson, a common destiny. They must warn mankind to get their lives in order with God and start living by The Golden Rule, before its too late.. Their efforts to fulfill their mission placed them in the midst of a battle between the forces of good and evil. They were being watched by an evil eye. They were attacking evil and they soon learned evil attacks you back. Many supernatural experiences confronted them on their journey, but they were not going to let the forces of evil win. They had to fulfill their mission.
