    Introduce your child to the world of chakras with our 15-in-1 children's audio book collection, focused on the three higher chakras - Throat, Third Eye, and Crown. 
    The Throat Chakra is associated with communication, expression, and creativity, while the Third Eye Chakra is associated with intuition, imagination, and spiritual connection. The Crown Chakra represents our connection to the divine and the infinite, as well as our sense of purpose and meaning in life. 
    Each book in this collection has been carefully crafted to help children connect with these three chakras in a meaningful way. I will give a fair warning when getting into the intuitive side of the chakras. The Third Eye and Crown Chakra can be intense for beginners. However, even though these chakras can be a deep subject for younger children, it presents a unique opportunity for them to explore their inner world and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. As with all of our books, we encourage parents to use their own judgment and guidance when exploring these concepts with their children. 
    Through these books, your child will learn the value of self-expression and creative freedom, the importance of trusting their inner voice and intuition, and the power of finding meaning and purpose in life. 
    So if you're looking for a way to help your child explore the concepts of the higher chakras and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world, look no further than The Intuitive Upper 3 Chakra Pack!

    Dr. Robert Bruce Banner has led a life of endless struggling: struggling against the rampaging beast within that was spawned in the heart of a gamma bomb explosion; struggling with obsessed army officers like Major William Talbot, dedicated to hunting him down; struggling to provide his wife Betty with something akin to a normal life...a forbidding problem considering that Banner's intellect is presently trapped in the towering, hard-to-miss body of the incredible Hulk. 
    
     
    The persecution by the army, combined with Betty's unexpected pregnancy, prompts Bruce to take desperate measures. An experimental operation may hold the key to the cure he has long sought. It is a chance he will gladly take - and one that actually seems to pay off. But the risk may carry with it an unexpectedly high price, especially when the horrific secret of Betty's pregnancy is revealed. It's a price that puts Bruce and Betty's offspring at risk, and plunges the Hulk into the most terrifying and daunting exploit of his life, struggling against his greatest foes to save himself, his family, and his very soul.

    Oliver has a lot going on starting his first year of middle school: new friends, new classes, new everything. But at least there’s one thing that still makes sense: SCIENCE! Determined to be an astrophysicist one day, Oliver explains everything he learns—like how the sun burps, how ghost particles fly through you, and the uncanny similarities between Mercury and cafeteria meatballs. (Also, there are time-bending black holes, exploding supernova stars, and aliens! Well, there could be aliens.)Oliver finally feels like he’s starting to figure things out … but can he stay out of the principal’s office, or catch a break from his annoying sister? With laugh-outloud humor, Oliver’s Great Big Universe follows an eleven-year-old who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.

    “If you are looking to understand a bit more about the circumstances that inspired The Adventures of Tintin—this book will provide a good snapshot.” —The BookBuff Review 
     
    Hergé created only twenty-four Tintin books which have been translated into more than seventy languages and sold 230 million copies worldwide. 
     
    The Real Hergé: The Inspiration Behind Tintin takes an in-depth look at the man behind the cultural phenomenon and the history that helped shape these books. 
     
    As well as focusing on the controversies that engulfed Hergé, this biography will also look at his personal life, as well as the relationships and experiences that influenced him. 
     
    “Tintin is more famous now than when Hergé was actually writing and illustrating his adventures. Sian Mye’s book is another in the excellent series about the real lives of our most famous authors, and is well worth a look. Brilliant!” —Books Monthly 
     
    “It is certainly possible to enjoy the Tintin books without knowing Hergé. But they are more interesting after learning about this complex, sometimes frustrating, man. We can learn from him, even if we learn from his mistakes.” —Rose City Reader
