The Power of Less
With the arrival of the 21st century we have encountered a mental and material explosion in the Western world: we have near-unlimited information at our fingertips, we can have children who are healthy and safe, and we have wealth and possessions beyond what most of the world can dream of. However, this is not a boast. We are more stressed than we have ever been: the majority of us are profoundly unhappy. Despite the potential of prosperity, our fears are undiminished: we are stuck with cars and computers and houses and mobiles and hundreds of other tiny apparent "needs" that, when all combined, build to something unsustainable. Though we are surrounded by what we want, our desire to keep an...

Pepper Grease
An eclectic collection of poems which explore themes of harmony and existence, the beauty of nature, and cultural challenges, Pepper Grease paints a canvass upon the whims of mankind, the social and political climate of our time, the rhythmic dimensions of music and dance, the complexities of our philosophical quests, and the radiance of natural light and cosmic energy. Using the succinct poetic forms of haiku and senryu, the structures of traditional rhyme, and free verse, the book juxtaposes the essence of nature's grand scheme and the curious expressions of human consciousness and behaviors; Pepper Grease reflects the merits of struggle and the rewards of achievement simultaneously. Pushing the emotional edges of anger and sadness through to the abyss of loneliness and despondency, and the emergence of hope and promise ~ together ~ the poems are a celebration of our humanitarian endowments, the vigorous realization of our evolving vision for creating and generating a better world vibrant with intelligent design, equitable prosperity, and universal compassion for all.
Mary Wears What She Wants
From the award-winning creator of My Dad Used to Be So Cool and Tough Guys Have Feelings Too comes a charming picture book inspired by the true story of Mary Edwards Walker, a trailblazing 19th-century doctor who was arrested many times for wearing pants. Once upon a time (but not that long ago), girls only wore dresses. And only boys wore pants. Until one day, a young girl named Mary had an idea: She would wear whatever she wanted. And she wanted to wear pants! This bold, original picture book encourages readers to think for themselves while gently challenging gender and societal norms.
I'm Still Standing
Ray was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease at the age of 27, which left him with reduced immunity and potentially infertile, but happy to be alive. Five years later, back working as a builder and the father of twins, he cut his hand unblocking a drain. This led to kidney failure, septicaemia and the eventual removal of his arms and legs. Life as a quad amputee seemed bleak and overwhelming. His family were supportive but no one could possibly understand how he felt. This is the story of his struggle to cope with all that life has thrown at him, including his attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. This book is a way of raising the profile of amputees, continuing the legacy of the Paralympics by giving hope and inspiration for the future, spreading the message that everyone can overcome anything with enough determination.
