Book Description
In a very special place, under a very funny looking tree, there lives a very tiny Dream Fairy. Her name is Little Whisper. She sleeps on a bed of soft moss under a big Leaf in the Land of Dreamy Dreams. When she woke up on this day, it seemed just like a regular day. She stretched out her little arms and buzzy-buzzed her little, tiny-finey wings and Yawned so big her little mouth got almost as big as a Strawberry Seed! After she yawned, and stretched, and buzzy-buzzed, she looked out from under her Roof, it was a big Leaf. There was a drop of water hanging from its pointy-endy-tip. She hurried over so she could see her reflection in it before it let go and splashed onto the Forest floor. Seeing your reflection in water is almost like looking into a mirror, and even a little Dream Fairy likes to make sure she looks nice in her own tiny-finey way before she starts her new day. Little Whisper wanted to fix her hair and wipe the sleepy-seepies from the corners of her dusty-pinky eyes before the drop of water let go. When it splashed onto the Forest floor, it could then do its own little part in watering the ground so more Thingie-Things could grow, you know. And you know what else? Every Thingie-Thing in Dreamy Dream Land is related to each other. Yep! In one way or another, they're like a Big Family. Even every single little Blade of Grass is an Individual with their very own Individual Personal Name. One Thingie-Thing is just as important as any other Thingie-Thing. No matter what they are, or what they do, they're all Thingie-Things together. Little Whisper was now ready to go. She had the Hardlywaits to see what she might find. So she buzzy-buzzed her little wings and took off into the Forest. What New Adventures, "WILL" She Find!

Book Description
Our lives are always changing, and it can be confusing when we are in the middle of some new thing God is doing in us. But if we are aware of who God is and how he works, change can be a little less intimidating and a little more faith-building; our eyes can see a little more clearly and our hearts trust a little more deeply as God shapes and molds us. This book is full of whispers: whispers of truth, hope, and love. I know that sometimes truth is hard to hear when someone is shouting it, so I whispered it. I know how hard it is when the future seems desperate and impossible, so I whispered hope. And as for the whispers of love, I hope you hear them deeply; I wrote them, but they are from God. For he is the one who knows you best and loves you most; he is the one with the plan and the purpose, the presence and the power to transform your life. He is the one who wonderfully made you in the beginning, and he is the one who can see the beautiful creation you are and are becoming. I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Philippians 1:6 (NLT).

Book Description
Lovella is the great-great-grandmother to the Townes family generations. It was during the 1800s that Lovella survived a vicious attack by a ferocious feline that wandered from a forest in Asia. This attack occurred during Lovella's third pregnancy of the first male child born into this family. This attack occurred in the backyard of her home while she was roasting pig, a cat ran toward her from the woods and knocked her down to the ground. Her screams were heard, and a pack of wolf dogs chased the feline away. The attack was so vicious it left permanent physical and mental scars on Lovella. The birth of the child was full-term although questioned by the doctor as to why the baby was born hissing like a cat and born with teeth and the "eyes of a tiger." Each time the baby boy named Timothy hungered for milk and food, his cry sounded like a "cat's meow." As the years went by, the child grew to speak well. He would experience temper tantrums all continued past the age of two. The family kept him close to home and never revealed to any family members or friends of the attack that Lovella experienced during her pregnancy. His favorite play area was in the backyard, as he was often seen scratching the bark on every tree in the yard. To this day, his name "Timothy" is embarked in a tree that still stands. There would be nights when Timothy would awaken and go to the kitchen pulling fruits from the refrigerator leaving large bite marks in unpeeled fruits and vegetables. Evaluations and testing from therapists, psychologist, and psychiatrist all revealed that little Timothy was born with a gene that carried a trait in the DNA that all males born into this family in future generations would carry this gene can never be removed.

In the Time of the Butterflies
Author: Julia Alvarez
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1616200995
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, internationally bestselling author and literary icon Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies is "beautiful, heartbreaking and alive ... a lyrical work of historical fiction based on the story of the Mirabal sisters, revolutionary heroes who had opposed and fought against Trujillo." (Concepción de León, New York Times) Alvarez’s new novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories, is coming April 2, 2024. Pre-order now! It is November 25, 1960, and three beautiful sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official state newspaper reports their deaths as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s dictatorship. It doesn’t have to. Everybody knows of Las Mariposas—the Butterflies. In this extraordinary novel, the voices of all four sisters--Minerva, Patria, María Teresa, and the survivor, Dedé--speak across the decades to tell their own stories, from secret crushes to gunrunning, and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo’s rule. Through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez’s imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage and love, and the human costs of political oppression. "Alvarez helped blaze the trail for Latina authors to break into the literary mainstream, with novels like In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents winning praise from critics and gracing best-seller lists across the Americas."—Francisco Cantú, The New York Times Book Review "This Julia Alvarez classic is a must-read for anyone of Latinx descent." —Popsugar.com "A gorgeous and sensitive novel . . . A compelling story of courage, patriotism and familial devotion." —People "Shimmering . . . Valuable and necessary." —Los Angeles Times "A magnificent treasure for all cultures and all time.” —St. Petersburg Times "Alvarez does a remarkable job illustrating the ruinous effect the 30-year dictatorship had on the Dominican Republic and the very real human cost it entailed."—Cosmopolitan.com
