  Lyrics & Lines by "Carolus"

  Written under the pseudonym "Carolus", Lyrics & Lines is a book of poems written, probably circa 1890 - 1900, as a gift to one he had loved and lost. 
  Love, Humour, Moralisation and the Macabre all come together in a most readable and enjoyable manner.  
   Who he was, when and exactly where he lived and his age at the time he wrote this book are unknown. That he was a modest man can be gleaned from his description of himself as "..a poetaster".  
  Beautifully written; these poems should not only appeal to lovers of poetry but to those who would never normally consider reading verse.

  A heartbreaking and powerful story about a black boy killed by a police officer, drawing connections through history, from award-winning author Jewell Parker Rhodes.  Only the living can make the world better. Live and make it better.  Twelve-year-old Jerome is shot by a police officer who mistakes his toy gun for a real threat. As a ghost, he observes the devastation that's been unleashed on his family and community in the wake of what they see as an unjust and brutal killing.  Soon Jerome meets another ghost: Emmett Till, a boy from a very different time but similar circumstances. Emmett helps Jerome process what has happened, on a journey towards recognizing how historical racism may have led to the events that ended his life. Jerome also meets Sarah, the daughter of the police officer, who grapples with her father's actions.  Once again Jewell Parker Rhodes deftly weaves historical and socio-political layers into a gripping and poignant story about how children and families face the complexities of today's world, and how one boy grows to understand American blackness in the aftermath of his own death.

  In a magical land of dreams, a friendly baby dragon named Simba, with scales of gold and sapphire eyes, embarks on nightly adventures with children. He flies them to wondrous places, from starry galaxies to enchanted forests, filling their sleep with joy and wonder. However, their happiness is threatened by the wicked sorcerer Malakar, who, consumed by jealousy, attempts to poison Simba's pure heart with doubt and fear. Malakar whispers venomous lies, trying to convince Simba that his dream-weaving is a pointless exercise in a world full of waking sorrow. 
  But Simba’s innocence and the love of the children he befriends prove to be a shield that Malakar’s darkness cannot penetrate. When the sorcerer’s attempts to corrupt Simba fail, he resorts to more direct and dangerous attacks on the dream world itself. In a climactic battle, Simba, with the help of his powerful parents, Falkor and Katla, confronts Malakar and his monstrous creations. Drawing strength from the love and hope of the children, Simba unleashes a powerful beam of golden light, vanquishing the darkness and restoring peace to the dream world. The story is a testament to the power of love, hope, and innocence in overcoming darkness and despair, reminding children that their dreams are a source of strength and courage in their waking lives.
