Book Description
David Hernandez's Dear, Sincerely is his most intimate and dynamic collection to date, bringing the reader into poems that are simultaneously personal and universal, and sometimes political. With his characteristic dreamlike imagery, inventive rhythms, and biting wit, Hernandez's voice reaches toward us with an accessible profundity. Dear, Sincerely is an imaginative book that explores the Self, the collective We, the cosmos, and the murky division that separates one from the other.

Book Description
One tiny act of kindness can have a huge impact. And in this heartwarming, hopeful, absolutely true story, a simple letter does just that. A true story that quickly went viral, this is now a timely, extraordinary picture book. Sincerely, Emerson follows eleven-year-old Emerson Weber as she writes a letter of thanks to her postal carrier, Doug, and creates a nationwide outpouring of love. This is a story of gratitude, hope, and recognition: for all the essential helpers we see everyday, and all those who go unseen. Perfect for sharing alongside such favorites as Pat Zietlow Miller and Jen Hill's Be Kind and Matt de la Peña and Loren Long's Love. There are lots of ways to help the world go round: Some people collect the trash. Some stock grocery shelves. Some drive buses and trains. Some help people who are sick. Some deliver our mail. And some people write letters.

Book Description
God, Life, love, gratitude, and the joys, pains, and mysteries of relationships-not necessarily in that order-make up the spice and essence of life, and felt in varying degree by each human inhabitant of Earth. "Dear Life, Here I Am. Sincerely, Andrea Lynn Samuels" exults in all of these, seemingly as a confirmation and celebration of life, no matter how complex it appeals to anyone. Aside from ably crafting an intelligent yet emotional body of prose, Andrea manages to express her love and gratitude to one of the persons who made such impact in her life: her dad, whose works of art also appear here. "Dear Life, Here I Am." is a treasure trove, a lush collection of works of art from the mind and heart of two persons whose lives are closely interconnected not just by blood, but something else beyond. Andrea Lynn Samuels was born and raised in New York City. She attended and graduated from A. Philip Randolph Campus High School in Manhattan, formerly the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art where her dad attended growing up, now located at Lincoln Center. She is an alumnus of South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, South Carolina, where she majored in marketing. Andrea has been reciting poetry since the age of four. She has taken some of the poetry that she has secretly written over the span of thirty years, and has honored the memory of her beloved dad, cancer warrior Calvin H. Samuels, by weaving some of his paintings into her book. Now living in Charlotte, North Carolina, Andrea enjoys spending time with her son, mother, family, and friends. She loves connecting with other people through her extensive volunteer work in her community. Always ready with encouraging words and scripture, she helps others in their journeys in life, just as she and her family have been helped.

Book Description
Since we talk in phrases as well as in words every home needs a phrase book as well as a dictionary. This book has been prepared to meet that need, and contains a dictionary of six thousand choice phrases arranged synonymously for general use; many polite expressions, phrases of charm and courtesy, for use in letter writing; one hundred sample social letters, including instruction concerning the method of their preparation by the use of the dictionary of phrases; a guide to choice phrases for social letter writing; and finally, a handy index, very helpful, even though the phrases have been arranged in dictionary form. I have made an effort to emphasize phrases of commendation, optimism, and courtesy. Also many for use in letter writing--especially phrases suitable for letters of condolence. There is perhaps no more difficult letter to write than one of condolence, hence a considerable number under this designation in order to assist in this necessary and yet most blessed task.
