About the Book

Title: With My Daddy
Author: Jo Witek
Illustrator: Christine Roussey
Genre: Children's Picture Book
Number of Pages: 34
Publisher: Abrams Appleseed
Publication Date: April 24, 2018
Summary: A little girl honors her dad and all the fun they have together in this sweet companion to In My Heart.
 
Our spunky heroine loves spending time with her dad. They ride bikes and swim in the pool! They can imagine exciting adventures, or just lounge around on a hot day. Being with her dad makes her feel safe and comforted, strong and powerful. She can confront the neighbor’s dog and get thrown up in the air! And when she gets too scared, or too angry, nothing calms her down better than a big hug from dad. This addition to the bestselling Growing Hearts series will make an appealing gift for Father’s Day.


My Review

Picture
With My Daddy is a sweet story about a little girl and the special bond only a daughter and father can share.

Spending time with her daddy, the little girl experiences many emotions like bravery, confidence, playfulness, but the best feeling of all is the one of safety that no one but her daddy can provide.

The illustrations are stunning. The way the illustrator depicts the father's large hands as the focal point of each page show just how big of an influence a father has over his child. The whimsical images along with the constant motion and a fun storyline easily captivate readers. With My Daddy is certain to become a fast favorite among parents and children alike.

I highly recommend picking up a copy.

What does one do when your mind says go but your heart says stay?

In Stephanie Deniese Brown's third installment of her Wesson Family Saga, newly divorcee, Renata McKain-Christian learns if giving it up all in the name of love is either the best gift she'll ever receive or the curse she rather not face.

Carson is established, powerful, and most of all rich. All the things Renata is not and that makes her feel unworthy of his love. But Carson doesn't care about her pocketbook, he sets out to capture Renata's mind, body, and soul.

However, an unfortunate accident spared the lives of their children and left his hanging in the balance.

My Review

Picture
Duck, Duck, Moose is a charming picture book that captures readers hearts with adorable characters and fun rhyme.

Goose is gone for the winter and Duck is lost without his friend. So Duck begins to wander in search of a new partner in his game of Duck, Duck ...., but nothing seems quite right. Will Duck ever find the perfect game without Goose?

Duck, Duck, Moose is an absolute treasure. The illustrations are beautifully detailed and the lyrical tone flows easily from the pages. Rhyme has always been a favorite of mine and the benefits of rhyme to young readers is invaluable. Studies have proven that children exposed to rhyme and who learn to rhyme themselves become better readers. It also helps develop good writing skills.

I highly recommend picking up a copy of this delightful children's book.

Genre: Children's Lift the Flap Board Book
Number of Pages: 14

Summary: Deep in the forest, early in the morning, the animals slowly wake—except the panda, who is sleeping in. The monkey stretches, the red ant hides, the black bear yawns, and the gazelle smiles. But where is the okapi? Can you find it?

Over 50 animals—including the okapi—hide on the pages of this beautiful board book. The gorgeous forest scenes take readers from morning to night, from high in the trees to deep underground. Deep in the Forest is as much a visual treat as it is an introduction to exotic animals.

My Review

Picture
Deep in the Forest is a magical book that engages readers with vividly detailed illustrations and a playful game of animal hide and seek.

I love how the author challenges little ones to find certain animals and insects hidden in the pages.  The colorful forest and its occupants easily entertain readers as well.

There are more than 50 animals in Deep in the Forest. The back cover contains pictures of all the animals readers will be looking for in this fun book children will enjoy again and again.

I highly recommend picking up a copy.

One for the Price of Two by Howard D. Weiner Blog Tour & Giveaway

4/18/2018

2 Comments

 

Fiction, Thriller, Crime
Date Published: March 15, 2018

He's a special forces operator, a trained assassin. He marries into an organized crime family. Not an ordinary crime family, but one with a tradition and specialty in murder for hire. 

Fraternal twins are raised by an ambivalent aunt who provides an unusual childhood experience. One twin leaves home to join the armed forces and is ultimately assigned to a special forces unit conducting clandestine operations in North Korea. The death of one his unit members produces an introduction to an organized crime family specializing in murder for hire. The funeral for the family's son and an interest in their daughter brings new blood and methods to the family business.



About the Author

Howard Weiner is a recent addition to the literary genre of fiction. Writing mysteries, thrillers, crimes—with a touch of romance—an approach described by one reader as “one bubble off.”

Many authors sharing the genre have characters whose fortune is determined by others. They literally have dodged the bullet that otherwise would have killed them. Weiner’s characters make their own fortune—good or bad—and they live with the results.

Weiner’s own experiences are blessed with no small number of noteworthy characters and events. He brings these slightly off-kilter individuals to life, complete with their own stories and dramas. Like the child prodigy in his first novel, "It Is Las Vegas After All", who comes to the starting edge of adulthood and then loses the approval of his doting parents, the sponsorship of one of America’s great institutions of higher education, and gains the enmity of his girlfriend’s father—an international arms dealer—to become a home-grown terrorist operating on U.S. soil.

A survivor of rich, nuanced bureaucracies in the public and private sector, Weiner writes about characters whose career choices and decisions are morally questionable. A student of personal behavior in complex circumstances, Weiner brings these often cringe-worthy characters to life. Some are amoral, others immoral in a narrow slice of their lives, yet they otherwise look and act like people we all know from work or even childhood. Like one of the female leads in his novel, "Serendipity Opportunity", an out-of-the-box thinker who flunks most of life’s basic relationship tests, yet she is someone you never want pursuing you in the cause of justice. There’s a former foreign security official who uses his protected status as a witness for federal prosecutors to provide cover for his own mayhem and murder in Weiner’s third novel, "Bad Money".

Many of Weiner’s stories are born out of real life events: The mix-up in luggage claim at the airport in, "Bad Money", the chronic high school slacker in "Serendipity Opportunity" whose one stroke of good fortune creates his opportunity to perpetrate a complex series of frauds, or the brilliant student in "It Is Las Vegas After All" who uses his prodigious talents toward an evil end.

As a former federal official, Weiner can neither confirm nor deny having the highest security clearances in classified security programs. Yet, his knowledge of the dark web, criminal organizations, and security organizations takes stories from the popular press to the next level.

Read an Excerpt

The primary character, Logan Bell, is a fraternal twin whose early family life plays a significant factor in his choice of vocation.

”WELL, ISN’T THIS INTERESTING, boys and girls. We have twins in our first-grade class. Why don’t you tell us your names?” The teacher spoke in a high, lilting voice intended to engage and flatter small children.

“My name is Logan Kim Bell. This is my sister, Kim Logan Bell,” the small boy made the announcement exactly as he’d been coached by his Aunt Dawn.

“Isn’t that the cutest thing. Twins with reversed first and middle names!”

Logan wasn’t at all certain what “reversed first and middle names” meant exactly. He performed his part as rehearsed. Dawn insisted he must look out for his sister, Kim. She was the shy one, and always reacted to stressful situations with tears. It was Logan’s job to do the first-day introductions.
Technically, Logan was the younger brother and Kim the older sister. Dawn believed it was the older sibling’s duty to care for the younger child. In this situation, that was impossible. Kim was simply unable to demonstrate, “the good sense God gave a goose,” as Dawn was quick to note. Having heard this judgment throughout the entirety of her short life, she came to accept its finality and her fate.

Not that Logan understood or agreed.

Logan and Kim had that special relationship common to twins but found the role of “older” brother to be an unreasonable burden. Kim seldom made the effort to become self-sufficient. It was more work than she liked, and Aunt Dawn always belittled her efforts. Whether Logan or Kim liked it or not, Logan was always in charge. He was always the person who answered to Aunt Dawn whenever Kim misbehaved or failed at some expected task.

Following several parent-teacher conferences, their teacher adopted Aunt Dawn’s point of view. Even in school, Logan was unable to escape his responsibility for Kim. When at home with Aunt Dawn, Logan long ago accepted the punishment for Kim’s increasing failures to meet his Aunt’s expectations. School was to be no different.
​

There was no escape for Logan Bell.

My Review

Picture
If You Were Me and Lived In ... The American West is a wonderfully detailed look at pioneers as they ventured west in search of a new life.

I love how the author tells the story as though the reader is experiencing the adventure first hand. Sentences like "You had to milk the cow, while your sister gathered wood..." and "You herded the animals through the rushing river.." and many others pulled me in and I could visualize the wagon train, feel the warm sun on my face, and see the prairie grass swaying in the breeze. 

At the end of the book there is a section of famous people who lived in the American West as well as a glossary to help readers understand unfamiliar terms.

I really like this series with the vivid illustrations and ample knowledge of the time period. Readers are able to easily absorb the abundance of historical information available within the pages.

​I highly recommend picking up a copy.

On my search for more joy, happiness, success as well as fulfillment, I stumbled upon the Akashic Records and through my studying, I received the spiritual guidance to share these messages with the world and this is how these 365 messages came about; to bring you divine guidance from the Universe.

If you are at a point in your life where you are ready to step outside of your bubble, to claim what you truly desire, then these messages will help you stay motivated and inspired to take that next step onto your journey of great joy, happiness and success.

I promise that these messages will bring you great joy, inspiration and motivation to tackle each day and to help you stay on your path to never giving up, to keep moving forward and going after your dreams and creating the life your heart desires.

If you have had this longing to be, do and have more then don’t wait! Don’t be that person who envy’s others for all that they have, for the great lifestyle they live, for the amazing success they experience, for the joy and happiness they radiate. You too can create this lifestyle for yourself; believe that anything is possible, that you too can have all that your heart desires. Abundance, joy, happiness and great success is not something that is reserved for others; you too can create all the abundance, all the joy, all the happiness and all the success your heart desires.

Be the person who does not let their situation or circumstance determine their life. You can choose to say no to all the struggles, say no to the challenges you may be experiencing and say YES to abundance, say YES to Joy, Happiness and immense Success in your life.

The messages you will find within these 365 days of inspiration and motivation are divine messages that will bring you the inspiration and motivation to help you stay your course towards creating the live you desire, to create more joy, happiness and success in your life.
