How much do fathers love their children? Enough to fly them to school in a plane? Enough to dig for the biggest dinosaur the world has ever known? From exploring dark caves to leading a marching band to even being a space alien, a father’s love is unconditional, and he will do anything to make sure all of his child’s dreams come true. The dynamic duo of Sherry North and Marcellus Hall team up once again to treat parents and children to a story that celebrates affection with imagination. Because I Am Your Daddy is a great read-aloud book at storytime or a soothing book at bedtime, and an ideal gift for new fathers on Father’s Day.

The text is accompanied by Hall's fun and stylishly retro watercolors." -BookPage "This selection is a perfect Father's Day pick." -School Library Journal "Hall's airy, retro-flavored watercolors depict the father's artfully exaggerated roles. A stylish depiction of fatherly devotion." -Publishers Weekly "The loving bond between parent and child is at the core of the story, and the joy is as much in the hugs as in the imaginative play." -Booklist "Hall's simply gorgeous retro-styled watercolors depicting a dad with his dark-haired daughter and her dolly go to town with each premise--the image of the three of them surfing is nothing short of breathtaking in its jewel-toned splashy motion." -Kirkus reviews Also available by Sherry North and Marcellus Hall Praise for Because You Are My Baby “Rhythms reminiscent of those in Margaret Wise Brown’s Runaway Bunny . . .

Sherry Siddall's Sweet Land rocks and waves with love of words and surround. Bareness crackles, winter's gone-spring! Who has not experienced this! Sweet Land sings the tune exactly on pitch. -Shelby Stephenson, poet laureate, North Carolina, 2015-18, editor of Pembroke Magazine for thirty-two years. Recent book: Shelby's Lady: The Hog Poems. The elegant, elegiac poems in Sweet Land are rooted in-but also transcend-the natural world.

Experts on the unexplained and paranormal research, Brad and Sherry Steiger turn their unique and remarkable talents to the bold storytelling of encounters with the unknown from throughout the ages. From mysterious strangers and unpredictable beings to weird behavior and paranormal phenomena, they investigate claims of visits from ghastly ghosts, otherworldly creatures, aliens living among us, phantoms, spirits and other accounts of encounters with the unexplained. Over 130 astounding accounts of Real Encounters, Different Dimensions and Otherworldy Beings with the supernatural such as: Visitors from other worlds who have had Earth under surveillance for centuries, conducting their activities in secret-even abducting humans for their own research and undeclared ends. Members of secret societies who developed advanced technology centuries ago which has been kept hidden in underground or undersea cities. Time Travelers from the Future. Beings who claim to be our descendants from the future who are returning to study the true destiny of humankind. Ghosts that haunt people, places, and things--and poltergeists that create havoc. Beasties and monsters found in everyone’s worst nightmares--and sometimes in their campsites, fields, and yards. Other Dimensional Visitors, Beings, Creatures, or Entities that come not from a faraway world in our solar system or any other, but from an adjacent space-time continuum existing on another vibrational/dimensional frequency or level. Previously unknown, unidentified terrestrial life-forms, such beings as ""sky-critters,"" ""sky fish,” “rods,” and “orbs.” As yet unknown physical energies that may be activated by the psyche, the unconscious level of the humanmind. Archetypal creatures and entities of the collective unconscious that are the result of energies that are accessible through dreams, meditations, and other states of altered consciousness. Interactions with beings that have been dubbed elves, fairies, devas throughout the centuries. The marvelous, creative facet of dreams. Out-of-body mind-traveling through Time and Space. Majestic beings who are described in the scriptures of many world religions as angels or demons.

If Thank You were the only prayer, as Meister Eckhart has suggested, it would be enough, and Sherry Olson’s poetry, in her second book, Four-Way Stop, would be one. Radical attention, deep love, and dedication to kindness illuminate these poems and the stories she tells us, which are drawn from her own life: with family, with friends, and wherever she travels, with strangers – who to Olson, never are strangers, but kin. Even at the difficult intersections, as in the title poem, Four-Way Stop, Olson experiences – and offers – hope, showing us how, completely unsupervised, people take turns, with kindness waving each other on. Olson writes, knowing that (to quote Czeslaw Milosz)) What surrounds us, here and now, is not guaranteed. To this world, with her poems, Olson brings – and teaches – attention, generosity, compassion, and appreciative joy.

Stand Still presents an intensely personal memoir written by a woman who has gained perspective on her past and who now shares the lessons she has learned through difficult times. Author Sherry Canty has learned to place her trust in God through all of the ups and downs of her life--from her challenging relationship with her father to many roadblocks she faced down in her life. As each struggle materialized in her life, she found the strength and spiritual support to face each challenge head-on and to find the right path for her life, walking side by side with God. Canty believes she is doing as the Bible says; as an elder, she is teaching the younger generation in proverbs, lessons, and psalms. Stand Still relates the inspiring story of a young girl growing into womanhood and the struggle and victories that accompanied her journey. She hopes her story may inspire young people to reach for their dreams, fulfill their purpose in life, and trust in God to walk beside them on their life's journey.
