"This is a book hard to put down, filled with the most fascinating brief case vignettes of parents and children who live in worlds disconnected from each other, hoping for experts to heal their suffering." -Anni Bergman, coauthor of "The Psychological Birth of the Human Infant" |

Writing Children’s Books for Dummies $15.17 Everyone loves a children’s book. And many dream about writing one. But is it actually possible for an unpublished writer–armed with a good story idea and a love of kids–to write, sell, publish, and promote a book? Yes, it is Veteran children’s book publishing executive and author Lisa Rojany Buccieri and author Peter Economy show you how, in their incredibly useful 2005 first edition of "Writing Children’s Books For Dummies(R)." Buccieri and Economy begin by explaining the basics of the children’s book business, from the nuts and bolts of the various formats and genres–with helpful illustrations to aid you–to the intricacies of the book publishing market, a list of recent award-winning books, and a first peek into the particular mind set that writing children’s books requires. (Hint: Throw out the adult rules, and think like a kid ) Then the authors dive into the actual writing process itself, with tips on setting up a workspace, brainstorming great book ideas, researching the subject you decide on, even speaking with the sorts of kids you hope will eventually read the book. They show you how to create compelling characters and develop them in the manuscript; how to outline and write a plot "arc" of conflict, change, and resolution; how to master the difficult art of writing dialogue; and how to use active (rather than passive) language to keep your story moving along and interesting to young minds. Or, if you’re planning to write a creative nonfiction children’s book–on a topic such as science, nature, or a historical figure, for example–the authors include a chapter on this, too. Ready, set, go… it’s time to sit down and write Once you’ve finished your book, however, the process has only begun. Now you will refine, submit, and hopefully sell your manuscript. Here again, the authors of "Writing Children’s Books For Dummies" come through for you. They deliver solid advice on hiring an illustrator–or not; participating in workshops and conferences to learn the business and hone a story; finding an agent; and, finally, submitting the manuscript to publishers and–if you are successful–signing a contract. Along the way, the authors also include tips on handling rejection; a quick primer on the various editors in publishing houses (and how they work to make your book its best); and making a plan to publicize the book, including hiring a publicist if necessary. Like all For Dummies(R) books, "Writing Children’s Books For Dummies" highlights "The Part of Tens," which includes the Ten Best Ways to Promote Your Story and More Than Ten Great Sources for Storylines. And the ever-helpful Cheat Sheet includes Tips for Editing your Children’s Book Manuscript, Children’s Book No-No’s, Twelve Commandments for Writing Younger Children’s Books, and Tips on Promotion. From setting down that first word on paper to doing a successful publicity tour, "Writing Children’s Bo |

(I Want To) Come Home $54.44 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! “I Want to Come Home” is a song written and recorded by Paul McCartney for the 2009 film Everybody’s Fine. An early cut of Everybody’s Fine was screened for McCartney, with Aretha Franklin’s cover of “Let It Be” inserted as a place holder by director Kirk Jones. McCartney was inspired to write the song for the film after connecting with the protagonist, portrayed by Robert De Niro, a widower who “hits the road to visit his scattered children after they cancel a weekend gathering.” McCartney told USA Today, “I can very much relate to a guy who’s got older children, who happens to have lost his wife, the mother of those children, and is trying to get them all together at Christmas. I understand that.” After recording a demo version on cassette, McCartney received notes for the song from Jones requesting an intro for the song as opposed to its original “abrupt” start. McCartney then collaborated with the film’s music composer Dario Marianelli on orchestrations for the song “resulting in an intimate ballad with piano, guitar and spare strings.” |

10 Principles for Spiritual Parenting $13.99 In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, how do we, as parents, honor the spirituality of our children? As we shuttle between school, soccer practice, piano lessons, ballet lessons, birthday parties, and doctors’ appointments, how do we find the time to encourage our children, through the ups and downs of growing up, to turn to God for guidance? In 10 Principles for Spiritual Parenting, Mimi Doe and Marsha Walch open our eyes to the spontaneous, creative, freethinking joy that characterizes a child’s innate spirituality. In ten easy-to-follow chapters containing exercises and practical suggestions, the authors point out that opportunities to express spirituality are abundant in our routine life. Talking at dinner, lighting candles, performing daily chores–all of these events have the potential to be sacred moments. Contemporary parents face unique challenges: In our media-saturated culture, children are continually exposed to violence, cynicism, and a confusing code of ethics. By offering concrete ways to help children develop positive values, Mimi Doe and Marsha Walch support parents’ efforts to counteract negative messages. 10 Principles for Spiritual Parenting is an invaluable guide for parents who yearn to help their children nurture a rich spirituality of their own. |

168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think $25.95 There are 168 hours in a week. This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better. It’s an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme jobs, and 24/7 connectivity, life is so frenzied we can barely find time to breathe. We tell ourselves we’d like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals. But then we give up because there just aren’t enough hours to do it all. Or else, if we don’t make excuses, we make sacrifices. To get ahead at work we spend less time with our spouses. To carve out more family time, we put off getting in shape. To train for a marathon, we cut back on sleep. There has to be a better way-and Laura Vanderkam has found one. After interviewing dozens of successful, happy people, she realized that they allocate their time differently than most of us. Instead of letting the daily grind crowd out the important stuff, they start by making sure there’s time for the important stuff. They focus on what they do best and what only they can do. When plans go wrong and they run out of time, only their lesser priorities suffer. It’s not always easy, but the payoff is enormous. Vanderkam shows that it really is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise five days a week, take piano lessons, and write a novel without giving up quality time for work, family, and other things that really matter. The key is to start with a blank slate and to fill up your 168 hours only with things that deserve your time. Of course, you probably won’t read to your children at 2:00 am, or skip a Wednesday morning meeting to go hiking, but you can cut back on how much you watch TV, do laundry, or spend time on other less fulfilling activities. Vanderkam shares creative ways to rearrange your schedule to make room for the things that matter most. 168 Hours is a fun, inspiring, practical guide that will help men and women of any age, |

A Few Things I’ve Noticed $12.95 “Our children go to a progressive school which I’m beginning to think means a school that will progressively drive their parents out of their minds.”All of the essays in A Few Things I’ve Noticed have one thing in common–Madora Kibbe’s humorous slant on modern family life.

These essays are short and to the point, a Polaroid picture of the way we are, or should be. A mostly flattering picture too. No red eyes or goofy grins.

A Good Start in Life: Understanding Your Child’s Brain and Behavior $22.95 We all want to do the best we can for our children. Nature has equipped us with an instinct to protect and nurture. Unfortunately, we have not been provided with universal rules of parenting, and so we look to experts to fill that void. But there’s so much information out there — and half of it appears to be filled with contradictory advice while the other half is mired in scientific jargon that most parents have trouble deciphering. This is especially true of the data on the intricate workings of the developing brain. It’s a daunting task to figure out just what a parent should do. The key is to listen carefully to what science is telling us. Finally, we have a sensible guide to interpret the information in straightforward and practical ways.Dr. Norbert Herschkowitz, a Swiss pediatrician and neuroscientist, and his wife, Elinore Chapman Herschkowitz, an American educator, have teamed up to write this warm, friendly book to guide parents through the formative years of their child’s life. With a specific focus on the brain, they follow the path of early childhood development from gestation to age six years. Each chapter deals with a particular phase of development.They begin with Life in the Womb — What Are You Doing in There? and Newborn — Here I Am! As parents add candles to the birthday cake, new chapters prepare them for what lies ahead. Best of all, each chapter is accompanied by a section called, To Think About. . . . These sections address practical topics such as good-night rituals, testing limits, coping with conflict, reading books together, the value of piano lessons, evaluating day-care options, and encouraging why questions.Although there are scores ofbooks that deal with early childhood development, few — if any — so artfully combine solid, reliable science with logical, clear-cut information and advice. Parents need no longer worry about missing special windows of learning opportunity. They don’t have to deal with lingering doub |

Excerpt: Albert King Albert King (April 25, 1923 December 21, 1992) was an American blues guitarist and singer . Career One of the “Three Kings of the Blues Guitar” (along with B. B. King and Freddie King ), Albert King stood 6′ 4″ (192 cm) and weighed 250 lbs (118 kg) and was known as “The Velvet Bulldozer”. He was born Albert Nelson on a cotton plantation in Indianola , Mississippi . During his childhood he would sing at a family gospel group at a church. One of 13 children, King grew up picking cotton on plantations near Osceola, Arkansas where the family moved when he was eight. He began his professional work as a musician with a group called In The Groove Boys, in Osceola. He also briefly played drums for Jimmy Reed ’s band and on several early Reed recordings. Influenced by blues musicians Blind Lemon Jefferson and Lonnie Johnson , but also interestingly Hawaiian music, the electric guitar became his signature instrument, his preference being the Gibson Flying V , which he named “Lucy”. King was a left-handed “upside-down/backwards” guitarist. He was left-handed, but usually played right-handed guitars flipped over upside-down so the low E string was on the bottom. In later years he played a custom-made guitar that was basically left-handed, but had the strings reversed (as he was used to playing). He also used very unorthodox tunings (i.e., |
