The Lie We Call Spring
It is a tale about the perpetual endurance of Canadian winters and the optimism and disillusionment of a season we call spring. In this vintage inspired story, a family eagerly awaits the warmth of spring only to find winter returning inopportunely. Led by an over-enthusiastic father, the children catch his contagious spirit and recklessly seize the day in complete denial of spring's fleeting appearances. The book is illustrated by a truly incredible artist, Maria Angelica Guerrero. Illustrations are hand-painted and created with the whimsy and nostalgia of childhood. The story is written by a new author, Lakely James, who relishes in creating classic children's narratives that follow the magic of the changing seasons. She hopes to inspire people to see the world and all the magic it can bring to those that look for it through a lens of innocence.

The Eclipse of 1919
From his earliest days as a child, Albert Einstein was fascinated with the relationship between light and gravity. He couldn't stop thinking about the laws of the universe, and was determined to describe how motion and time, and energy and mass, all worked together. Einstein imagined gravity as what happens when objects bend the space and time around them. But this theory couldn't be perceived in the everyday world. To test his hypothesis, Einstein needed to see if the sun's gravity bent the light from a nearby star. And the only way to do that was to photograph a total solar eclipse. This is the story of how scientist Arthur Eddington validated Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, permanently altering the world's understanding of the universe and beyond. It's a testament to the relationship between nature, science, and the pursuit of knowledge.

Drive Through Diaries
Many teens and young adults enter the workforce with little idea of what to expect and without the necessary skills to succeed from the start. The education system often emphasizes academic success and test performance, equipping students with the knowledge to excel in a school environment. However, this focus leaves many young people unprepared for the challenges they will face in the working world. The transition from school to work can be daunting, as they find themselves navigating new environments, expectations, and social dynamics without a clear roadmap.My book aims to fill this gap by teaching teens how to handle tough situations at their workplace and how to incorporate those skills into their daily life as well. The skills outlined in my book are universal and serve as important building blocks for future jobs, social interactions with friends, and overall success. Through funny anecdotes and personal experiences working at Mcdonald's, I provide both a good laugh and practical examples that readers can use as guides to incorporate my lessons into their lives. They can learn from my mistakes and use my strengths as models to be successful at work.
