Book Description
The inspiration for writing these books came when I babysat for my grandchildren. And because I had nothing to read to them. I wanted to portray a 'heroic' character for a child to look up to. There are many books that feature police officers. But there are few written about their K-9's companions. Bless them for being there and for doing their jobs. The world is a better place because these dogs, and the lives they save. In Book One of Bella's Journey, Bella, is a puppy left alone in a dark forgotten alley. Small and fuzzy, a Golden Retriever, born from award winning blood line parents. Her owners called Bella a 'runt'. They assumed her size meant she was not suitable for breeding future generations of show dogs. Left in a cardboard box, abandoned and left to die. In Book Two, she is found by Harry Belgrave an injured police officer. She is loved and grow's up to be the family dog. She trains to guard and protect, but she is a dog loved and shows love back. I tell my story, from my point of view, and as you know by now, I am a dog.

Book Description
A beautifully illustrated and lyrical picture-book biography of eccentric and beloved writer Praised by R.J. Palacio as "wondrous"--this moving memoir follows a teenage boy with TC syndrome and his exceptional family from diagnosis at birth to now. "This touching memoir is a must-read for anyone who wants to know more about the real-world experiences of a child with craniofacial differences and his extraordinary family. It's also more than that. It's a story about the love between a mother and a son, a child and his family, and the breadth of friends, helpers, and doctors that step in when the unexpected happens. It's a story that will make young readers reevaluate the word 'normal'--not only as it applies to others, but to themselves. Any book that can do that is pretty wondrous, as far as I'm concerned." --R.J. Palacio, author of Wonder Normal. Who is to say what this word means? For Magda Newman, it was a goal. She wanted her son Nathaniel to be able to play on the playground, swim at the beach, enjoy the moments his friends took for granted. But Nathaniel's severe Treacher Collins syndrome--a craniofacial condition--meant that other concerns came first. Could he eat without the aid of a gastrointestinal tube? Could he hear? Would he ever be able to breathe effortlessly? But Nathaniel looks at "normal" from a completely different perspective. In this uplifting and humorous memoir that includes black-and-white comic illustrations, mother and son tell the story of his growing up--from facing sixty-seven surgeries before the age of fifteen, to making friends, moving across the country, and persevering through hardships. How they tackle extraordinary circumstances with love and resilience is a true testament to Magda and Nathaniel's family, and to families everywhere who quietly but courageously persist.

Book Description
A compelling yet relatable narrative, RJ’s story is set against a backdrop of the real-life experiences faced by young learners, who must navigate the rigorous demands of both their academic and outside-the-classroom environments. Added to these are the pressures of managing relationships and more. Inspired by the true story of one boy, this book captures the author’s insights gleaned from encounters with her own grandson, an inventive adventurer. While brimming with the excitement and energy of any child his age, he is not without his struggles—a key one being his run-ins with Mathematics. Meanwhile, as a parental tool, these pages illustrate the impact of empowering children to turn their setbacks into triumphs. Drawing on the ‘skills as superpowers’ concept, Verghese conveys several foundational principles. She deconstructs them using easy-to-digest teachable moments—founded upon four widely-proven pillars, namely: POSITIVITY. FOCUS. PERSEVERANCE. ACTION
