Inspiring and transformative, Pepe's Journey is a classic example of a hero's quest for self-discovery and is designed to help build a child's confidence all while tackling issues of racism, discrimination, inclusion and bullying. This beautifully told story encourages self-esteem as it offers an inspiring message that with some courage and determination, we are all able to overcome challenges and ultimately take control of our own destiny.No one knows how one little peacock egg ended up hatching in the nest of wild turkeys, but everyone, including Pepe, believes he is a turkey. Pepe looks like no one around him, even though he is loved and supported by his family, he is teased and bullied by others because he looks ..."different." After a period of exploration, Pepe discovers his self-confidence and most importantly, that our value isn't determined by outward appearances, but rather by the content of our character. This timeless tale raises questions about bullying, discrimination, the value of self-esteem and the importance of being true to yourself. Join Pepe, as he seeks to discover the missing pieces to his own life's story, the power of courage and self-respect, the secret of how to stop the bullies who tease him, the importance of unity and what it truly means to belong.EXAMPLE PAGES: Pepe looked closer than ever, Hoping he'd finally see more, And even though he was still the same, He saw things he'd not seen before!His feathers weren't brownAnd his neck wasn't red, And he still had those feathersOn top of his head, But now he saw strength and courage too, Made no difference his feathers were blue, It all came from somewhere, deep down inside."My family was right!" Pepe joyfully cried!A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR: "In today's racially charged atmosphere, I can't stress enough how badly our children need self-esteem and how much our society is in need of compassion and empathy! PEPE'S JOURNEY was inspired by real events and is designed to empower children everywhere who find themselves, friends or their family being persecuted by bullies because they seem "different." In 1967, my family moved from the Bay Area, to a tiny little town called Freestone. At five years old, I was painfully shy teased and bullied, and no matter how hard I tried, I just didn't fit in. I discovered early on that the bullies wouldn't follow me into the library at recess, so this is where I ended up spending the majority of my time. I remember I was shocked that I was unable to find even one book, in this vast library, that could help me. So many years had passed, and I forgot about this painful chapter in life, until an event happened that took me right back to grade school and inspired this book. After moving to a rural piece of property, I was admiring this peaceful landscape when a group of wild turkeys came strolling by. Imagine my surprise when one turned out to be a peacock! Every year he would return with this family of turkeys. With a little imagination, I wondered what it would be like to grow up in a world where everyone was the same color, everyone that is except for you. This story is based on my imaginings of Pepe, the peacock, his turkey family and his journey through life."

Breathe
Imbued with a sense of wonder, and a strong connection to the natural world, Laura Alary's books invite young readers to engage with the liturgical seasons of the church year. Breathe is a journey through Ascension, Pentecost, and Ordinary Time. "The day of Pentecost is coming. The church is changing color. The white and gold of Easter will soon burst into flaming red, then cool to green." So begins Breathe: A Child's Guide to Ascension, Pentecost, and the Growing Time. Breathe explores children's questions: How can Jesus go away, yet promise to be with us always? Can we trust someone who comes and goes so mysteriously? Moving beyond long ago and far away events, Breathe invites children to wonder about and watch for the presence and work of the Spirit here and now, in practices of prayer and mindfulness, and through acts of justice, generosity, and kindness. Slowly but surely, we discover that we are the body of Jesus now, his way of being in the world. And that whenever we choose the way of love, Jesus is there. Always. "In this poetic, thoughtful text, Laura deftly interweaves biblical stories with subtle invitations for readers to consider how the gentle wind of the Holy Spirit might be at work in their lives today. The text is imaginative, insightful and thoroughly inspirational -- a must for every parent, pastor and children's minister."--Glenys Nellist, author of the Love Letters from God, and Snuggle Time Prayers. Laura Alary writes in the warm, thoughtful style that has made her books so popular with families who want to encourage their children to think deeply and engage their spiritual imaginations.

Traumata of Mankind
God was also abused. In God's name, people have been put into a sexual straitjacket and society has put these absurdities into laws and social norms. Even today it is the Catholic Church in particular who advocates these shameful rules. It still has about a billion members. This leads to dissatisfaction and frustration, but also painful lovesickness, jealousy, relationship dramas, sexual abuse, suicide, and murder. With this sexual oppression, prostitution flourished because a need arose for it. That is why women, children, and animals are forced to prostitute themselves. Child sexual abuse in families is increasing all the time. More control and monitoring do not combat the actual causes and are therefore not the right solution in the long run. Even in enlightened societies, people often unintentionally use a lot of wrong rules and norms to ensure that it stays that way. The book Human Traumata- Global Coming Out reveals these grievances and offers help and alternatives. www.lutzknoche.com Since the development of humans, the free exercise of sexual pleasure has been an important part of their development and has been given evolutionary support. The religions have opposed evolution and set in motion an avalanche of sexual and social grievances. Why did you do that? The explanation is in this book. It is important to know because it still affects all of our lives today. Only when we turn to our natural development again does humanity have a chance. That sounds dramatic, but that's exactly what it is. Everything is related. Sexual oppression harms our social coexistence and thus in all areas of our life and development. If civilization is so opposed to evolution, it will eventually perish. It doesn't matter what supposedly progressive rules and laws she enacts against it, as long as she still adheres to these false principles and rules.

Bullied to Broken
This is Maddy's story. Much of her story is from her text messages and accounts to those she was close to. I am proud to be my daughter's voice. This book has also become my story. Maddy, suffered bullying from a young age. This caused her severe mental health trauma and left her with self-esteem issues, panic attacks and anxiety. On 24 June 2018 Maddy took her own life, aged 23 years. This book is intended to advocate for mental health awareness. Maddy lived in fear for much of her young adult life. Maddy had a high drive for perfectionism. Maddy was afraid to let people know of her mental health issues as she feared judgment by others. Maddy's story will give an insight into how bullying effects the individual, the long lasting psychological trauma that it can cause. It is hoped that people who choose to bully can find empathy to cease the behaviour. It discusses strategies to cope with bullying, how to build resilience and ways to heal pain and grief. Bullying is becoming an epidemic. Children are bullying in the school yard, and then through cyberbullying. There is bullying in workplaces and sporting organisations. There is often no respite for those being bullied. Many of those who are bullied have chronic mental health issues, increased risks of suicide, there is more burden on the health care system and exorbitant costs to the government, the cycle goes around and around. Writing this book has been a difficult personal journey. I hope that Maddy's story will help others, then the journey would have been worth it.

The Bible Revealed
This book was written because of a dream God blessed me with. In the dream I was told to feed his children. I taught Sunday School every Sunday, thinking that was what I was doing. So I pondered and prayed to understand exactly what my dream meant. Then one day as I was praying it became clear; my job was to survey the children that I came in contact with daily. I need to find out just how much they knew about God and His Word. He opened my mind to a dream that played over and over in my mind. It was like I had seen a movie that I loved so much; it continued to play over and over in my consciousness for several years. Because of my health I retired from my job as Technical Services Librarian in 2006, from the grandest library in Mississippi.

We can choose to speak life or death.Prayerfully, this book changes the way that children view what they speak, changes the way that they speak, changes the way that they think, and changes their overall lives. Speaking life does not happen overnight, but in consistently doing so, it becomes a part of a person's daily life. When speaking the word of God in this book, make it fun and personal, stand on and believe the word. In believing, know that it is already done no matter what it looks like or no matter what it feels like.With Love, Sharika
