Reviewing Dibs the Dragon - Picture Book


Dibs the Dragon and the Marshmallow Rescue is an excellent read for both adults and children. Ellie Moss, the creator of Dibs and illustrator, Mehibi Studio do an excellent job of making Dibs and his friends come to life.

To be honest, I have a fondness for both children's books and dragons. Being able to read to my grandchildren a book where the dragon is the hero, rather than the villian, is a delight. 

In addition, Ellie's story provides amble opportunity to have conversations about being lonely, finding friendship and enjoying the simple things of life. 

I highly recommend this book for young and old. Dibs the Dragon will become part of my grandchildren's library!

Hyacinths to Feed Thy Soul

Image
As we progress through Poetry Month, I have been reading many of my old poetry books. Some are journals into which Momma placed her favorites poems, which are now my favorite poems. One of my absolute top ten poems is: If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft, And from thy slender store two loaves alone to thee are left, Sell one, and with the dole Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul. This beautiful verse was written by MOSLIH EDDIN (MUSLIH-UN-DIN) SAADI (SADI ) , who was a major Persian poet of the medieval times. It is just one of the many beautiful verses in his book Gulistan ("The Rose Garden") . (Photo Credit) ~~~~~~ Also from Gulistan, is the verse which visitors find at the entrance to the United Nations Hall of Nations. It reads: Human beings are members of a whole, In creation of one essence and soul . If one member is afflicted with pain, Other members uneasy will remain. If you have no sympathy for human pain, The name of human you cannot ...

Review: The Reckoning of Grace by Ronald Chapman

Image
  In his latest book, The Reckoning of Grace , Ronald Chapman depicts our current times with novel that takes a serious look at how the chaos and turmoil of today is part of a great transformation of consciousness. This is the third of Chapman's The Saga of Grace series . The Reckoning of Grace encourages the reader to dive deeper into the meaning of reconciliation, post-traumatic growth, healing and the courage to open to possibilities. Chapman's characters are people we could know with all the foibles and excentrities people have. Their ability to look at the world today and find hope challenges the reader to stop and reevaluate the importance of self-reflection, peacemaking and acceptance.  While The Reckoning of Grace could be read alone, I think reading the entire series will bring readers much more inspiration and understanding on how to deal with these troubling times. ____ About the Author: Ronald Chapman is owner of an international speaking and consulting company, Ma...
