Book Description
The creator of Little Owl's Night explores and celebrates the complexities of what makes us who we are in this comforting and thoughtful picture book. A young narrator describes herself: a girl, a granddaughter, Indian, and American. Soon, we see the young girl as a plethora of things: selfish and generous, mean and kind, brave and mischievous. While many of these qualities oppose each other, the context and illustrations make it abundantly clear that she speaks the truth. She is a walking contradiction, and that is precisely what makes her both a unique individual and an essential piece of the greater world around her. Divya Srinivasan shows what makes us human and proud to be who we are.

Who I Am
Author: Pete Townshend
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 144341820X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
Long acknowledged as one of rock music’s most intelligent and literary performers, Pete Townshend—guitarist, songwriter, singer and founding member of The Who—at last tells his wild story in this candid and immersive autobiography. Raised in west London by an eccentric grandmother, while his parents were off living the early post-war, rock ’n’ roll lifestyle, Townshend describes a frenetic childhood of displacement and abuse. Then, in high school, everything changed when he met Roger Daltrey and formed a band that would travel the world, earning fame, fortune and critical acclaim. In Who I Am, Townshend brings us from the inner sanctum of Eric Clapton’s drug-ridden hotel rooms to the feet of Jimi Hendrix and his electric kool-aid guitar; from the first trial performance of Townshend’s rock opera, Tommy, in a London bar to his infamous arrest (and acquittal) on child pornography charges. With his trademark eloquence, fierce intelligence and brutal honesty, Pete Townshend has created a work of literature that stands as a primary source for popular music’s greatest epoch. Readers will be confronted by a man laying bare who he is, an artist who has asked for nearly sixty years: who are you?

Pages : 291
Book Description
Widely accessible are a vast number of spiritual tools and teachings designed to help us cultivate a better understanding of ourselves, our world around us, and our role within it. Many of these teachings were, and continue to be, instrumental to my own journey of understanding. In 2016, that journey expanded to become one that includes Connection—connection to a higher version of self, and seemingly beyond self—to information that has completely decoded and recontextualized my perceptions of reality and human experience. I documented all of it. Having spent many years integrating this information while simultaneously striving to live my life in a way that is worthy of it, I now feel compelled to step out of the “spiritual closet” as one who channels—to share the documentation of my Journey’s transformation, as well as all of the transformational information received. Personal interpretations and perspectives are minimally offered so that each may receive this information in resonance with their own frequency, but much loving guidance is provided. Please be forewarned that Contemplation will be required to discover the multi-faceted and multi layered truths within this information. Other than being an observant, attentive, curious, questioning human, I am wholly without any recognizable accreditations that might qualify me to share any Wisdoms or Truths. Thus I am a living example of the Connection available to every human, merely accessing these abilities a little sooner than most of my collective siblings. With genuine and loving intention, I Trust and release this body of work to help expedite or birth for others, connections to and beyond self, that they may find their own versions of Wisdom & Truth. Towards living a life in Service, this Sharing with you, dear Seeker. Vanita

Author: Elizabeth M. Bonker
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1441237844
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
She looked into my eyes and blinked hers slowly and deliberately, like a stroke victim, to show me that although she couldn't speak, she understood what I was saying to her. I stroked her hair softly. 'I know you're in there, honey,' I told her. 'We'll get you out.'" Despite the horror of seeing fifteen-month-old Elizabeth slip away into autism, her mother knew that her bright little girl was still in there. When Elizabeth eventually learned to communicate, first by using a letterboard and later by typing, the poetry she wrote became proof of a glorious, life-affirming victory for this young girl and her family. I Am in Here is the spiritual journey of a mother and daughter who refuse to give up hope, who celebrate their victories, and who keep trying to move forward despite the obstacles. Although she cannot speak, Elizabeth writes poetry that shines a light on the inner world of autism and the world around us. That poetry and her mother's stirring storytelling combine in this inspirational book to proclaim that there is always a reason to take the next step forward--with hope.
