    “The Ornaments” Read-a-long version is a children’s story inspired by a unique and wonderful gift store tucked away on a side street in New York City. That store, “Domus,” is owned by two caring individuals, Nicki and Luisa, who are featured in the book.  After the holidays each year, Nicki and Luisa travel the world, often meeting with craftspeople, artists, and especially women in business. Their travels frequently take them to tiny villages in Europe, Africa, and Asia.  When they return with their curated wonders, the shop becomes a “United Nations of Gifts!”  Entering “Domus,” you walk under a large willow branch that spreads across the shop’s entire ceiling.  From this spreading branch hang dozens of enchanting and charming ornaments that move in a breeze like a Calder mobile.  Creating a story for these ornaments was irresistible since the store is so story-like.  ?“The Ornaments” is a story for children and adults, and its message of empathy, inclusion, and community is so urgent in today’s world.

    Once again, the author grabs the hearts and minds of the young with a delightful children's story of a girl, a car, a filling station, and evangelism. Based on the old Esso gas slogan* of yesteryear, Put a Tiger in Your Tank is the third book by Sally Breeze Green, completing a trilogy of children's stories with deeper meanings. Her niece, Melissa Green, is again the illustrator.All three stories came from her dream life of God awakening her in the night, saying, "Write this down." "Tiger" was originally the topic of a sermon delivered during her years as a lay preacher in the Presbyterian tradition and later adapted as a children's story now being offered by Christian Faith Publishing. Along with her first two books, Lo and Behold: A Christmas Story and Georgie! A Big Fish Tale, it is available on the internet at Amazon.com and bookstores everywhere.

    Young Arabel's life is changed forever when her father, a taxi driver, brings home an injured bird he finds in the street. This wacky raven eats everything in sight, answers the telephone by squawking "Nevermore!" and causes chaos whenever he goes - but Arabel loves her feathered friend, whom she names Mortimer. 
Children (and adults) will find great pleasure in these high-spirited engaging stories because the text is rich with wonderfully descriptive phrases as well as uniquely hilarious and witty situations. Fans of the classic story will picture a hairy-beaked raven sqawking 'nevermore" every time they hear a phone ring, and the thought of this crazy bird will be a delightful reminder of this fabulous story!

    Wiggles Stomps and Squeezes Calm...

    "This book is for anyone who has ever felt the need for a wiggle, stomp, or squeeze!"

This is a story about sensory differences and how some children experience their world, told from a child's perspective.

The vibration in her feet when she runs, the tap-tap-tap of her fork on the table at mealtime, the trickle of cool water running over her hands---these are the things that calm her jitters down.

Wiggles, Stomps, and Squeezes playfully validates the unique sensory experiences of children, written from their own perspective. I'm excited for every kid that will see themselves in this beautiful book!" - Mark Loewen, Author of What Does a Princess Really Look Like?

"I have worked in special education for 12 years and have not come across a book that explains these jittery feelings until now. This book will capture the hearts of families and children with unique needs as well as educate those unfamiliar with sensory differences." - Bridget Martinez, Special Education Teacher 

"I often find myself trying to explain to parents why their child needs wiggles, stomps, and squeezes to get through their day while experiencing sensory input in ways that are different and often more intense. This is the first book I have come across that provides a very real glimpse into the lived experience of a child with sensory differences. What a wonderful book that so many families can benefit from!? - Caitlyn Berry, Occupational Therapist
