  Flaps is a young peacock butterfly with a challenge – a hole in her right wing. 
  Her father was a Storm Breaker, one of the special butterflies who help keep the planet’s weather balanced by flapping their wings in just the right places. But now, the winds of the world have grown wild and angry because humans have been unkind to nature. To restore balance, Flaps’ father flew to the legendary Cradle of Winds, a place said to hold the key to calming the storms. But he never returned. 
  Years later, a powerful storm nearly sweeps Flaps and her glowing firefly friend, Blinks, away. Realizing something must be done, Flaps decides she will journey to the Cradle of Winds to fix the weather herself, even with her damaged wing. 
  To find her way, Flaps visits Perla, a wise moth who knows the old stories. Perla tells her about an ancient legend: only a butterfly with a pure heart, riding on the back of a condor, can cross the highest mountains, flap its wings in the deepest valleys, and bring peace back to the weather. 
  Determined and brave, Flaps sets off on her quest, unaware that Blinks is secretly following her. Along the way, they meet new friends, overcome challenges, and discover that even the smallest creatures can make a big difference. 
  Can Flaps find the Cradle of Winds and bring calm to the storms? Her courage and heart will guide her through this great adventure!

  Rymer Strauss and his dad were looking for kids's books that teach about business, but they couldn’t find any. There were surprised when they couldn’t find books that teach kids what it’s like to be an entrepreneur. The truth is, there just aren’t many books that teach young people how to start their own business or how to think about money.So Rymer decided to write one, and that’s where “The Big Money Squeeze” started. He believes other kids deserve to learn how to take charge of achieving their own goals and to be inspired to start businesses. He doesn’t think you have to be in college or even high school to learn how to manage money. Kids in elementary school can start thinking about these things too.Rymer is a go-getter in real life. After successfully building nearly every Lego set ever created, he recently took on the task of building the Death Star. Amazingly, it is still in one piece despite his little sister, his brothers, and all his friends who like to play with it!
