Chica the Garden Fairy (Paperback)

Chica the Garden Fairy
Chica the Garden Fairy (Paperback)
By Martha Therrell

Review & Description

Bilingual edition in English and Spanish. Chica, a baby Sugarmouth Fairy, gets lost and separated from her family during their journey to Mexico. Rescued by a group of English Sugarmouths, they take Chica to a proper English garden inhabited by Royal Garden Fairies and a Princess cat named Chloe. Melly and Ruby, two little English garden fairies, cannot wait for her to become a garden fairy. They are all very surprised when she instead turns into a Spanish Garden fairy and announces her arrival in Spanish. “Hola, Aqui Estoy.” With long black hair, hoop earrings, bangle bracelets, and an adventurous personality, Chica transforms the English garden into a Fiesta. The little garden fairies become best friends, and soon all three have hot pink, swishy skirts and turn the English garden upside down. Melly, Ruby, and Chica decide to go to Mexico in search of her family with the help of Miss Monarch and Chloe. They have one narrow escape after another, escaping black flying eaters, getting lost, and meeting new fairy families. Just when they finally get to Mexico, they fall into a magic Mayan River, turning them into Princess Fairies. And so, their adventures begin. Read more

The School: Humanity's New Future (DVD-ROM)

The School: Humanity's New Future
The School: Humanity's New Future (DVD-ROM)
By Ringing Cedars Series

Review & Description

Revealed to the West for the first time in "Space of Love" - Book 3 of the Ringing Cedars Series, for three decades now a Russian visionary Mikhail Schetinin has been shattering both mainstream and 'alternative' views on education, while creating humanity's new future. At his School, the children have designed, built, and decorated their own campus. They cover the entire high-school curriculum in one year and get official Master's degrees by the time they are seventeen. They cook their meals, do administrative work, and write their own textbooks. They contemplate the meaning of the Universe and swim in mountain streams. They dance, draw, sing, and pick strawberries in the surrounding fields. They can shoot from an automatic rifle and fight on swords. They master ancient folk crafts by awakening their ancestral memory. The girls choose not to wear miniskirts, make-up, or flashy jewelry. They have no interest in the TV or video games. They do not prepare themselves for 'life' - they live every moment they breathe. They do it all with a mission to reclaim our true essence and to bring back to planet Earth the era of awareness and peace. Read about the School in Book 3 - then watch the DVD. In this extraordinarily potent 30 minute video - the images and words of these children will move you to tears, touch the very core of your being and fill you with tremendous inspiration - as you witness the enormous creative power revealed here, that is within every human being.

In The Garden (Hardcover)

In The Garden
In The Garden (Hardcover)
By Stacy Bass

Review & Description

In the Garden, by award-winning photographer Stacy Bass with essays by Suzanne Gannon, celebrates the natural splendor and abundant creativity of the American gardens of the new millennium. In astonishing fine art images and vibrant prose, each of its 18 chapters tells the story of a how an individual brought his or her vision of beauty to life, inspired by the lay of the land, a single blossom, or a garden once glimpsed in a far away place.

In the Garden is alive with 224 pages of color—lush spreads and intimate detail shots--that showcase Bass’s intuitive knack for composition and her sharp eye behind the lens. Whether devoted to a manicured series of structured parterres or a rambling meadow of wild grasses, each chapter features a crisp and lively narrative that both entertains and informs the reader, intentionally straddling the divide between aspiring gardeners and avid horticulturalists. By evoking the personality behind the garden and illustrating the results of his or her work with foliage and flowers, it serves as an aesthetic commentary on how we shape the world around us.

This luxurious book which features some of the Northeast’s most noteworthy and beautiful gardens captured at dawn, makes a generous and compelling gift, and serves equally well as a decorative accessory or a rich conversation piece.

“a soft, feel good story that made me stop to appreciate the simpler things in life.”
N.V. Hensey, The Review Lounge

“a charming story that will capture your heart”
Kat Terrell, The Review Lounge


Summary:

Love is in the air in the quiet little town of Noyac, Long Island.

In this second installment of the Grace series, In the Heart of Grace, Susan and Tom’s
romance takes off at full speed, and they can’t help but wonder if Grace is up to her old tricks
again. After all, she manages to use her convoluted ways to get her doctor and Susan’s mother
together for a whirlwind romance, and she helps Susan and Tom patch things up after a
terrible misunderstanding.

When Grace struggles with muddled thoughts, everyone is worried, even more so
when Grace meets with an accountant to discuss donating her real estate to her tenants. Not
knowing who this man is, Susan worries that he may take advantage of Grace.

Thank goodness Grace’s clairvoyant abilities seem unaffected. Under the guise of
running errands, she orchestrates a meeting between Susan and a potential employer, and even
foils a bank robbery.

Susan and those she cherishes what love is all about.“a soft, feel good story that made me stop to appreciate the simpler things in life.”
