|  | | Hope Music
Music is extremely powerful, you know. It has been around for such a long time that its knowledge and secrets are limitless. Hope Music explores how music makes us all feel. This poem-like picture book encourages both children and adults to ask themselves questions like: Does music give me hope? What kind of relationship do music and I have? In this story, we dig down deep inside of our emotions to find everything we can about what music truly is. Come along for some real magic!
Music inspires my imagination to do the best creative art it is meant to do best--build, paint, play, dance, write, create. | |  | | Me
Seeing your own reflection in another person's eyes or on the top of a shiny beetle's back is intriguing for adults as well as children. This short, rhyming story-poem explores how these simple reflections can do so much to the idea and definition of "me". It is fun and comforting to think that "me" is inside every reflective raindrop that is dancing on the leaves. This book takes the simply innocent idea of a child seeing their own form in the many things around them and shows that it is no different from the abstract but wise idea, shared by many current and ancient philosophies, that "no one is strange and nothing is far away".

What would it be like to live before school existed and learn from the things you saw and experienced outside everyday? What would it be like to appreciate the teachers nature has naturally hired for us the way that native peoples did? In Summer School In the City we are taught by an artistic spider, a do-nothing dog, some thirsty mosquitoes and many more. This isn't the type of summer school you've ever heard of before!
For lunch my mom and I like to have picnics in the park. One windy day, we were lying on our blanket with comfortably tummies and I started noticing how the trees' branches were bending and moving in the wind. My mom and I got up and tried to move just the way the trees were. The trees taught us how to dance that day. |
