    everyone’s a aliebn when ur a aliebn too is the story of a lonely alien sent to observe Earth, only to meet all sorts of creatures with all sorts of perspectives on life, love, and happiness, all while learning to feel a little better about being an alien—based on the enormously popular Twitter account, @jonnysun. 
    Here is the unforgettable story of Jomny, a lonely alien who, for the first time ever, finds a home on our planet after learning that earthlings can feel lonely too. Jomny finds friendship in a bear tired of other creatures running away in fear, an egg struggling to decide what to hatch into, an owl working its way to being wise, a tree feeling stuck in one place, a tadpole coming to terms with turning into a frog, a dying ghost, a puppy unable to express itself, and many more. 
    Through this story of a lost, lonely and confused alien finding friendship, acceptance, and love among the creatures of Earth, we will all learn how to be a little more human. And for all of us earth-bound creatures here on this planet, we can all be reminded that sometimes, it takes an outsider to help us see ourselves for who we truly are.

    Mind of Fire

    In a world where a spark moves faster than calculation, and where flames outrun human understanding, one question rises to rewrite every rule of the battle: How does the mind think when it enters the fire? 
     Not an ordinary mind, but the mind of a leader—one who is expected to see the unseen, calculate the uncalculated, and make a decision in the very moment when everyone else freezes. 
    Fire is not a substance; it is a behavior, an awareness, a language deciphered only by those who have learned to read heat as they read words, and to understand the silence of smoke as they understand the silence of people. 
     What appears to others as chaos becomes, to the leader, a map. 
     What others perceive as danger, he sees as an equation of time, space, and movement. 
    This book is not about fire itself; 
     it is about the mind that confronts fire. 
     About the mindset forged under the pressure of seconds—where experience transforms into instinct, knowledge becomes decision, and fear turns into a compass that guides rather than paralyzes. 
    Within these pages, you will enter the depths of a rare world: 
     the world of the leadership mind at the edge of extreme heat. 
     How does it predict? How does it analyze? How does it dismantle collapse? 
     How does it create calm in the middle of chaos? 
     And how does it extract from fire the harshest and most human lessons of leadership? 
    The Fire Mind is not a book you read once. 
     It is a book you return to every time a new battle ignites—every time a leader stands before a decisive moment, seeking to understand: 
     How do I see farther? 
     How do I decide faster? 
     How do I save more?

    For fans of Wesley the Owl and The Soul of an Octopus, the story of a sick baby bird nursed back to health and into the wild by renowned writer/artist Julie Zickefoose. When Jemima, a young orphaned blue jay, is brought to wildlife rehabilitator Julie Zickefoose, she is a virtually tailless, palm-sized bundle of gray-blue fluff. But she is starved and very sick. Julie’s constant care brings her around, and as Jemima is raised for eventual release, she takes over the house and the rest of the author's summer.   Shortly after release, Jemima turns up with a deadly disease. But medicating a free-flying wild bird is a challenge. When the PBS show Nature expresses interest in filming Jemima, Julie must train her to behave on camera, as the bird gets ever wilder. Jemima bonds with a wild jay, stretching her ties with the family. Throughout, Julie grapples with the fallout of Jemima’s illness, studies molt and migration, and does her best to keep Jemima strong and wild. She falls hard for this engaging, feisty and funny bird, a creative muse and source of strength through the author’s own heartbreaking changes. Emotional and honest, Saving Jemima is a universal story of the communion between a wild creature and the human chosen to raise it. Read by the author.
