This lyrical ode to humanity celebrates people all around the world as they do the same things in different ways, from morning to night: as we''re carried first, then toddle, then walk; as we learn to read and explore new worlds; as we wish or dream, laugh or cry, or even wonder why. This universal picture book is as profound as it is simple. A beautiful sentiment to share at story time or bedtime, this book will touch children and adults alike.

At any given moment/someone, somewhere is blowing a kiss. And somewhere/someone/is catching it. So begins this journey of the heart, as readers young and old follow a handful of kisses around the United States. From San Francisco to New Orleans to New York City, the text and stylized artwork celebrate all the ways kisses are shared.

In this hilarious, tongue-in-cheek picture book about manners, zoo animals attempt to follow proper etiquette when they are accidentally invited to tea with the queen. "Sit up straight. Don''t slump. Don''t slouch. Lay your napkin on your pouch." Amy Gibson''s playful, rhyming text offers etiquette advice to zoo animals who scrupulously try, then marvelously fail, to mind their manners at the queen''s tea party (much to the queen''s dismay and the young prince''s delight). Meanwhile, Jenn Harney''s illustrations contrast humorously with the rules spelled out in the narrative: the animals lick their paws, gobble their food, swing from the chandelier, and trumpet while nibbling on a crumpet, in scenes that grow increasingly chaotic as they build to an uproarious finale. This original, ingenious book is unique in its wild sense of wit and its sly, subtle lesson on proper behavior.

I''ve written over a hundred songs, but these are among the best of them. They are inspired by great performers, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and also the great athlete Michael Jordan. Sometimes when I write songs, I meditate quietly, and think about some of the great artists of our time. These songs are the result of such meditations. "Champion" Before Michael Jordan became 6 time NBA Champion MVP, he was cut from his high school basketball team... He could have quit. No one would have blamed him. He could have joined a gang. He could have purchased a gun and shot the coach, etc... But what did Michael Jordan choose to do instead? He chose to believe and follow the vision only he could see for himself at that time. "It''s My Heart" I was daydreaming about Elvis and his wife, Priscilla... I envisaged him softly composing this song as he was remembering Priscilla walking out of his life... Then I wondered what would have happened if Elvis & Roy Orbison got together to write such a song... "Dance With Me" Roy Orbison wasn''t just a musician, he was a magician. His songs painted mesmerizing pictures & feelings which were visceral & vivid. I imagined asking him to help me write a song, and what came to mind was a beautiful nightfall scene, young single Roy with his girlfriend strolling on a curved sidewalk by a quiet pond, the full moonlight dancing on the calm ripples of the peaceful water. The smiles on the smitten couple were as bright as the stars. This was the night Roy would propose to his wife to be...

Where do parents look for role models to guide them in raising their children? Coaches and players are in the limelight and influence parental approaches, even if subliminally. So, what is the sporting community teaching families? In many instances, the nature of sport as it is currently conducted, could be influential in the outbreak of domestic violence, and beyond. Neighbor versus neighbor, school versus school, city versus city, state versus state, country versus country, all because of geographical location and jersey color. One might see this as a new racism. Trash talk, rivalry, betting, and high stakes salaries have transmuted friendly games into vicious, contentious battles. I believe the vast majority of sports contests are missing the very purpose of athletics. Such an opportunity cost, opportunity lost. The reason we play sports and watch them should be to enhance the skills of life, translatable for homes, businesses, churches, & schools; to build social relationships, not tear them down. Relationship rapport skills need to be practiced and exhibited in sports, or these skills will be lost, and society with it. In my opinion, the first duty of the sports world is to prepare players for success in life, by encouraging characteristic life skills to help them land jobs, launch businesses, strengthen families, & secure communities. I have observed quite a few character skill sets displayed via the sport platform which deserve mention & attention. This list of character skills includes but is not limited to these 23: 23 Character Life Skills Learned & Taught Via Sport: Standards, Intensity, Passion, Communication, Trust, Collective Responsibility, Caring, Pride, Confidence {not conceit}, Humility, Leadership, Teamwork, Encouragement, Respect, Sacrifice, Persistence, Being Deliberate, Empowerment, Intuition, Creativity, Resourcefulness, Work Ethic & Courage. This book lists quotes about character life skills, from some of the greatest sports figures, as well as leaders in business & politics. Additionally are suggestions from the author for implementing these essential character life skills into practices & games.
