My book of writings, Let's Go for a Walk, is a collection of fiction and nonfiction writings of my life growing up and reaching my older years in West Virginia and some of my travels around the country. Some are funny, some are sad; you will laugh, and some will cry. Some of the writings are true, and some not so true are included in my book. The front cover photograph was taken on the Burrows Family Farm, which is located in Sergeants Hollow, otherwise known locally as Frog Hollow, and was taken by my son, Rickie, and it reflects some of my feelings as I wrote this book. My life has been a series of ups and downs, as most of us have experienced while on our walk through life. My hope in writing this book, and the ones hopefully that follow, is to allow my reader to take a step back and remember the good memories during their walk. The back page photograph was taken at my desk and was also taken by my son. I attempt to surround myself with old things to allow me to look around and gather my feelings as some of the old authors may have done. Let's go for a walk. Enjoy. Rick A. Burrows Sr.

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey meets Dog Heaven in this profoundly beautiful book about the special relationship between kids and dogs, the importance of language, and finding the meaning of life even in its final days. Poignant, hopeful, and lovingly told, this dog's journey—told by the dog himself in his own unique words—proves that love abides beyond a lifetime, out of sight but never far away. As a dog and his little girl go on their final walk together, he experiences the sights, smells, and wonders of this world one last time before peacefully passing on. But for such a good boy (oh yes, he is!) and his foreverfriend, that doesn't mean it's the end. Offering a unique and noteworthy take on death, this book balances the somber topic with a dog's ever-optimistic viewpoint, all woven together with its unconventional yet fitting approach to language. Family members, librarians, art-lovers, and educators alike will use this book as an accessible and comforting introduction to the ever-difficult topic of death, discussed and related in a new way with hopeful, uplifting, innovative language. THE PERFECT BOOK TO TALK ABOUT LOSS: The perennial themes of grief, fear, and death are always relevant and classic discussion topics even in families not yet dealing with death. The perfect answer to kids' big questions about what happens when we die, this book will be a standard in every home library. CREATIVE USE OF LANGUAGE: The words in this book are incredibly special, with phrases that conjure how the dog sees the world. The enjoyable challenge of matching up "letsgoboy" to a walk or "pufftails" to rabbits will make for meaningful discussions on a parent's lap or in a classroom reading circle. TEACHES CHILDREN EMPATHY: Reading this story from the dog's perspective is the perfect way for young readers to understand that the way another character thinks and perceives the world is different from their own experience. A BEAUTIFUL DOG STORY: Ideal for readers who love dogs, want dogs, or are going through a grieving process for their family dog, this book celebrates all that is most magical about these animals who are always by our side. A COMFORTING MESSAGE: It's rare for a book about death to extend beyond the moment of dying. The continuation of the dog's story past this point makes it special and especially comforting. Perfect for: parents and caregivers, dog lovers, educators
Hugo is a dapper little bird who adores the Eiffel Tower -- or at least his view of it from down here. Hugo, you see, has never left the ground. So when he meets another bird, the determined Lulu, who invites him to fly with her to the top of the tower, Hugo stalls, persuading Lulu to see, on foot, every inch of the park in which he lives instead. Will a nighttime flying lesson from Bernard the Owl, some sweet and sensible encouragement from Lulu, and some extra pluck from Hugo himself finally give this bird the courage he needs to spread his wings and fly?

The story of Ascended Master Kuthumi's human adventures continues on with the life of Pythagoras of Samos- history's most famous mathematician and one of Ancient Greece's most notable philosophers. Set in an amazing time of change for humanity, Pythagoras takes us on a journey through the mystery schools of the ancient world -- from the mystics of Egypt and Phoenicia through to the Zaroastrian magi of Babylonia, the oracles of Greece and even the early Buddhist monks. Along the way he shares his personal experiences and reflects on just what he was shown. This culminates in the establishment of his renowned school in Crotona. Once again Kuthumi invites us into the very human aspects of an extraordinary life. Pythagoras' life is not only remarkable for what he achieved but for what he allowed himself to experience. The stories he shares are much more than recollections though-often revealing long lost secrets and wisdoms that are just now resurfacing!
