The Abundance of Less: A Social Experiment of Not Buying Anything New for One Year

Have you ever looked around your house and wondered, How did I get so much stuff? That stuff gets LOUD. Studies have shown that excessive amounts of clutter rob us of joy, peace, and rest, giving us instead, stress and anxiety, less sleep, lowered productivity, and diminished overall wellness. And yet, we keep consuming more and more of the many things we still apparently need to be happy and whole. In 2010, Marcy looked...

Daniel has been in his for months without a word, and now the Agency says they have a Forever Home for Meagan, but not her little brother, Benjamin. She has already lost her mother and...

While We Slept: Finding Hope and Healing After Homicide

Murder changed their lives. Yet courage, hope, compassion, and forgiveness changed their perspective. In 2005, newlyweds Marcy and Jeremy woke up to the brutal murder of his mother, Mary Ann Larsen-Pusey, by his father, Clinton Pusey—they'd been sleeping just down the hall. That morning was a shock to everyone, including Clinton. He had no memory of that morning, except for a few random, seemingly unimportant tasks he accomplished. Marcy and Jeremy suddenly lost both parents at once—one...

In Bath Time Magic, Corban must fool his parents into believing he hates baths to keep them from learning his secret: his tub is magical.

According to Corban

*Winner of The Gittle List Award, 2017* In Corban's imagination, kitchens are troll's lairs, backyards are jungles, and bedrooms are launching pads to Mars.

But when the queen turns into a dragon, Corban discovers a surprising hero. Read the text and enjoy the illustration to see the world through Corban's eyes...

Weirdo and Willy is a story about accepting differences and not prejudging people. It’s about co-operation and selflessness...

Tercules

There are many “voices” in the world telling us that we’re “too much” of this or “too much” of that. Sometimes the voices say that we’re “not enough” of this or “not enough” of that. If we believe these messages, we miss out on living out the wonder and beauty of being exactly who we were made to be. We miss out on being “Just right.” Thus begins the story of a wild turkey chick who is abnormally strong…Herculean strong. In the midst of ridicule, Tercules must find the beauty of his uniquenes
