    The Visions of Beya Bean Blue by Multi-Award Winning Poet/Author zO-AlonzO Gross, Illustrated by Multi-Award Winning Illustrator Salah Mezian is a Brilliantly Written & Illustrated Bonafide modern day classic. Based on the perspective of a boy who is blessed with discernment, innocence, love, beauty, and companionship. Beya Bean Blue, goes beyond a common thread of human understanding that monsters are evil and harmful. He proves that they are not so in the fanciful world of children. It means power of innocence and imagination that children bare in their lives can do wonders. The great romantic and visionary poet William Blake, in Auguries of "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour". In the same vein, Beya befriends the monsters and they both make a lasting bond as if there is nothing wrong in life. Their hearts pure and immaculate, do not see any distinction between themselves or the world around them. They are meek and innocent like the lambs in the pastures which do not run even they see encounter the wolves as in Blake's classic "Songs of Innocence and Experience". In comparison, the Visions of Beya Bean Blue sees with love beyond the pre-conceived notions associated with Monsters to the heart of the matter which reveals an underlying theme of unconditional love & unwavering acceptance.

    “Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” 
    Winnie-the-Pooh is a loveable bear with a forest full of friends: Piglet, Kanga & Roo, Tigger, Eeyore, and many more. This well-known cast of characters was inspired by the toys belonging to author A.A. Milne’s son Christopher Robin, himself a character in Milne’s writing. 
    Throughout this collection, each of the characters faces their own set of adventures. Join Pooh as he goes in search of Eeyore’s lost tail, which looks suspiciously like Owl’s new bell-rope. Cheer on little Piglet as he ventures into the woods to trap an elephant-like Heffalump. Take a snack break with Winnie-the-Pooh, who is always in search of honey to satisfy the “rumbly” in his tummy. 
    The stories in this collection don’t follow a set sequence. It can be enjoyed from start to finish, or listeners can choose to bounce around from one story to another. No matter where your listening leads you, Winnie-the-Pooh is certain to find a place in your heart. The simple but profound wisdom in these stories is familiar to children and serves as a gentle reminder to adults to appreciate the small things in life.
