A giftable read with a catchy title for anyone seeking promise, hope, solace, inspiration, and motivation through art and the power of words. “She went out on a limb, had it break off, and realized she could fly.” We’ve all been there on occasion. We’ve over-reached and achieved success by reaching deep within, rallying, and overcoming life’s difficulties and challenges that would keep us from our goals. For every woman who has said, “I can” in place of, “I can’t,” author and illustrator Sandy Gingras offers inspiration inside She Went Out on a Limb, an illustrated list book of positive and affirming phrases, some original, some quoted. She Went Out on a Limb offers the inspirational power of words for putting your heart on the line, the value of dreaming and hope, trusting yourself, combating fear and adversity, getting out of your own way, not thinking too much, avoiding procrastination, stirring up inspiration, loving yourself, believing in yourself, and just doing it. The thoughtful and poetic prose along with original watercolor illustrations combine to focus on the positive and remind you to combat fear and adversity through affirmation in your own beliefs and abilities. The limb may break, but the flight holds exhilarating promise.

This picture book about a child with a broken leg explores the role of courage and patience in the healing process—both inside and out Lulu’s leg is broken, but she’s OK. Bonnie Bear has a matching yellow cast. Her sympathy trove has new books, sweet cards, and pretty daisies. She finds new ways to do ordinary things—like taking a bath or wearing her favorite pants. As time wears on, the newness of the cast wears off and the weariness sets in. Lulu grows bored and grumpy by day. Her cast becomes itchy and twitchy at night. Eventually, it’s time to get the cast off, but Lulu’s not ready. What if her leg can’t do all of the things it used to do? What if it breaks again? A visit from Grandpa, a well-timed letter, and the power of healing help get Lulu back on her feet.

In In the Company of Bears, originally published in hardcover as Out on a Limb, Ben Kilham invites us into the world he has come to know best: the world of black bears. For decades, Kilham has studied wild black bears in a vast tract of Northern New Hampshire woodlands. At times, he has also taken in orphaned infants–feeding them, walking them through the forest for months to help them decipher their natural world, and eventually reintroducing them back into the wild. Once free, the orphaned bears still regard him as their mother. And one of these bears, now a 17-year-old female, has given him extraordinary access to her daily life, opening a rare window into how she and the wild bears she lives among carry out their daily lives, raise their young, and communicate. Witnessing this world has led to some remarkable discoveries. For years, scientists have considered black bears to be mostly solitary. Kilham's observations, though, reveal the extraordinary interactions wild bears have with each other. They form friendships and alliances; abide by a code of conduct that keeps their world orderly; and when their own food supplies are ample, they even help out other bears in need. Could these cooperative behaviors, he asks, mimic behavior that existed in the animal that became human? In watching bears, do we see our earliest forms of communications unfold? Kilham's dyslexia once barred him from getting an advanced academic degree, securing funding for his research, and publishing his observations in the scientific literature. After being shunned by the traditional scientific community, though, Kilham’s unique findings now interest bear researchers worldwide. His techniques even aid scientists working with pandas in China and bears in Russia. Moreover, the observation skills that fueled Kilham’s exceptional work turned out to be born of his dyslexia. His ability to think in pictures and decipher systems makes him a unique interpreter of the bear's world. In the Company of Bears delivers Kilham’s fascinating glimpse at the inner world of bears, and also makes a passionate case for science, and education in general, to open its doors to different ways of learning and researching–doors that could lead to far broader realms of discovery.

"Going Out On A Limb" is the much anticipated sequel to the Amazon best seller and Book Award Finalist "Pinch Me - How Following The Signals Changed My Life." This inspiring sequel is receiving 5 STAR reviews as readers take a real-life, no-holds-barred journey with the author as she continues to create her dreams, walking through challenges to get there and all the while being guided by signals from the Universe. Are you ready to follow the signals in your own life? Are you ready to meet the truth of who you really are? READER REVIEWS: "I feel like your book is a letter to my soul! What a gift awaits your readers!" (Caroline, USA). "Wonderful... I am recommending your book to all my like-minded friends. What is special about your book is the honesty - usually people just present all the positive aspects, so much so, that is not of much help for someone like me. Your book on the other hand is practical as I see you facing problems, yet not giving up, and eventually not just picking yourself up, but helping others like me immeasurably." (Niranjan, United States) A GLIMPSE INTO THE STORY: Following signals from the universe completely transformed Bernadette Logue's life; she had achieved all of the things she set out to. A beautiful lifestyle in a dream location, doing something she truly loved. But there was something bubbling below the surface, calling her in a different direction. Signals were intervening in the neatly arranged life she had created. Her attempts to forge ahead and make things happen now fell flat and caused chaos, leaving her feeling confused and eager to understand what was going on. "I learnt the hard way. Trying to control the exact path you take is like trying to herd cats. Magic happens when we let go and flow with our life. And, the blocks in our life that keep us stuck are the access points to all our gifts within. The emotional stuff we'd rather not address is the very first place to look." In "Going Out On A Limb," Bernadette discovers the hidden power in great challenges. Not just that we all get signals, but why we get them. She provides intriguing insights into soul self and soul intention. This is no ordinary book about transforming your life. Many books leave you wondering what you're supposed to do when things don't go according to plan. In "Going Out On A Limb," Bernadette lets plans go and lets life in. She shares the whole truth, her deepest fears, and the hilarious things that happened along the way. She also shares her darkest hour, and how she nearly turned her back on it all. But this is a triumphant story. A story about discovering your soul self. A story about how to go beyond your limits and become the person you are destined to be. "The great news is that dark times are really just light switches in disguise! When the light returns, it is brighter and more magnificent that you could imagine." This is the second installment of an ordinary woman's courageous journey, following on from her first book, "Pinch Me." [PLEASE NOTE: UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, PRICES ARE QUOTED IN US DOLLARS]
