Gods Don't Cry
A bold and brilliant collection of ancient stories that challenge the modern notion of what it means to be a hero. The ancient gods of Ireland were once worshipped throughout the land. Powerful and brave, they were unafraid to show their vulnerability, reject violence, or lean on others for support. Sadly, their stories--passed down by our ancestors--are all but forgotten. Gods Don't Cry reawakens these gods, whose ancient tales redefine modern ideas of what it means to be a hero. From Mannan獺n, who uses his neurodiversity to discover the Otherworld, to M矇iche, who finds the courage to accept his illness, Fer Maisse, a monster slayer who gives up glory to become a healer, and Cn繳 Der籀il, who overcomes bullies with his musical talent. Hurlers and warriors, academics, and activists--these are gods of many abilities, sizes, and skin shades, from every corner of Ireland. Follow their adventures as they perform magic, battle demons, overcome struggles and find the courage to be true to themselves. You might even see yourself in their stories and discover, that you too, are a hero.
Jock the Croc
Jock the Croc is a whimsical children's poetic tale that recounts the life of a crocodile named Jock, whose life undergoes a peculiar metamorphosis. It all begins with his name, mysteriously endowing him with an ever-increasing sense of Scottishness. As the story unfolds, Jock transforms into a fully-fledged tartan-clad, bagpipe-playing Scotsman with a weakness for haggis, much to the bewilderment of his family and fellow crocodiles, who content themselves with lounging on riverbanks.The plot thickens when, many years later, it is revealed that Jock is not only alive but may be encountered in the wilds of either Scotland or Africa. Children adventuring through lochs jungles might hear Jock upon his pipe. Those fortunate enough to find him might also be led to his secret Scottish city inhabited by hundreds of kilt-wearing crocodiles.It's said that an encounter with Jock the Croc could impart that same Scottishness that transformed his life. So, you may find yourself saying "Och aye the noo!" when you meant to say something entirely different - so it really could happen to you!
