Is a blank page really blank? Beloved poet Alberto Blanco pulls back the curtain and illuminates all of the elements hidden in a single piece of paper: the tree it was made from, the rain and sun that allowed the tree to grow, and the people that created it. An enlightening read for readers young and old, it soon becomes clear that a blank page contains the whole cosmos. In The Blank Page, world-renowned Mexican poet Alberto Blanco inspires children and adults to keep looking deeper, to never take things at face value. Charming illustrations by Rob Moss Wilson portray a world that slowly comes to life in a single sheet of paper: first the tree, then the forest, then the people are discovered, revealing the whole interrelated ecosystem of our world. As Blanco says: "Where nothing happens, there is a miracle we are not seeing."

If only life could be like surfing! Having "funny" hair and being embarrassed in school is hard, but when little surfer Mop studies the lessons of the waves—breathing, letting the bad waves go by, and riding the good ones—he learns how to bring the mindfulness and joy of surfing into his whole life. Celebrated San Francisco surfer-journalist-dad Jaimal Yogis teaches 4-8 year olds timeless beach wisdom with the story of Mop, a sensitive and fun-loving kid who just wants to be in the ocean. Going to school and navigating classmates can be hard—but all that goes away when little surfer Mop paddles out in the waves. With a few tips from his clever mom, Mop studies the wisdom of the water and learns to bring it into his life on land: taking deep breaths, letting the tough waves pass, and riding the good ones all the way. With newfound awareness and courage, Mop heads back to land—and school—to surf the waves of life. With stylish full-color beachy illustrations from cover to cover.

Hello, my name is Cacilia Bree Anthony. I am writing my story to tell everyone what I have gone through and the hardship that has been done. But at the end of the day I also want to teach other people if I could overcome obstacles, that anybody in the world who put the love out there can do the same. I want to make sure that I also tell many people to get themselves involved with the love of God and to give others benefi t of the doubt. Never judge a book by the cover. You truly have to read the story to understand. I am not writing this book to be 200 pages. I wanted to get to the point from the beginning to the short end so you can understand at the end of the day, all you have is yourself. Believe in yourself, love yourself, love others, forgive, have faith. Enjoy every moment because tomorrow is not promised. John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. I am walking proof of life. I believe. I pray and you can do the same.

The book of Nothing. For those who likes to write and for whose who doesn't like to read.
