Afikomen
Honor, Sydney Taylor Book Award In this wordless time-travel adventure, three children at a Passover seder visit ancient Egypt to help baby Moses find his way safely to Pharaoh's daughter. When a family settles at the table for Passover, their dog nabs the afikomen bag (containing matzah used for the seder) and dives under the tablecloth. The children follow him and find themselves transported to ancient Egypt. There, they see baby Moses' mother and sister Miriam placing him in a reed basket. The baby's journey down the Nile is hazardous -- he encounters several obstacles along the way, including a wily crocodile. Thanks to the three children, he reaches his destination unharmed, with a piece of afikomen tucked into his basket. The children return to the seder table and, exhausted, fall asleep. But what are their parents to make of the grains of sand in the afikomen bag? Includes an author's note about the meaning of the Passover holiday and about different afikomen traditions.

When Dad Is Home
Imagine a busy body dad who is always doing something around the house. Whether he is being silly or being positive, everything he does has an impact on the family. It starts off with him doing things around the house that will make you laugh, but then progresses into him doing multiple things to show that he is a great dad. This book is a reflection of fathers - fathers who are present, making a difference, successfully leading their households and any man who is a father figure. It's more than just a book, it's a memory bank of special, meaningful and appreciated moments created by a father who is active and present in the lives of his children. When reading this book, it is the hope that every father and child would be entertained, see themselves in the scenarios, and continue to create endearing moments. This book was written with two goals in mind. One goal is to have fathers pass this book down to their sons from generation to generation. The ultimate goal is to inspire and encourage fathers to consistently strive to be better. If every man dedicates his life to always striving to be better, then there will always be a positive example of a man's role in his household and society. The young men coming up NEED demonstrations of a positive male presence whether a father is in the household or not. The future of our young men, our communities, our culture and entire race is on the line if men are not committed to manhood and fatherhood.

What If You Could?
Bored with hanging around on a branch munching leaves, a little caterpillar has a big dream of a wonderful future of flying and twirling in the sun and enjoying nectar from beautiful flowers. But which inner voice should he listen to? The kind voice that encourages him to believe in his dreams, or the mean one that warns him against change and tells him to give up on a brighter future? This little caterpillar's inspirational story of transformation is everyone's story. We all have to decide which inner voice to listen to whenever we prepare to leave our comfort zone, spread our wings, and fly. And like the little caterpillar, we make a brighter future for ourselves when we choose to listen to the kind supportive voice instead of the mean dismissive one. What if You Could? Would you listen to your heart? Would you treat yourself with kindness? Would you ignore the cruel, critical voice? Would you lean into your dreams? Would you spread your wings? Yes, you would. Lynne Harley has written a powerful story for readers big and small. Prepare to be inspired. (Katherine Lawrence, poet and author of Stay) Lynne Harley's life work, spanning forty years as a social worker and transformational life coach, has been to empower individuals to believe in themselves and to give credence to the still, small voice of truth that is within all of us. In her book, What If You Could? Lynne seeks to plant these seeds into the minds of young children, but envisions this powerful universal message will be embraced by readers of all ages.
