The delightful illustrations, text, and music, are created with all hearts in mind. It is a story about blue times and rough times, and the fear that comes with those times. It is a story that teaches children and adults alike, that though we may have blue times, rough times, and fearful times, there is always something we can do to ease our soul; connect with those we love and who love us.When your child is sad or upset, you may find connecting difficult. Their "upsets" become yours, and soon you are at your wit's end. Nothing you try works to calm or connect. You may think your child wants to be left alone. But as a mother and educator, I can assure you what they really want and need, is connection.This book helps you do just that: Connect when there is sadness, connect when it's been a bad day, connect when there is fear?I wrote this as a song first, when my son was having a meltdown. No matter how hard I tried, he wouldn't "let me in." Out of desperation I just started singing. These are the words that came out.Suitable for ages 4 to 8.
This beautiful book of traditional nursery rhymes features the illustrations of Margaret Tarrant (1888-1959), an English illustrator who was well known for her charming and colourful images of children, animals and fairies. 14 popular nursery rhymes are presented, each one accompanied by illustrations painted especially for them. Black and white line drawings of the characters are also included.
Signs of the Times is good clean-or not so clean-fun in two ways. It's a joy to be reintroduced to so many dearly loved and justly renowned nursery rhymes, long after their sparkle and pungency may have faded from adult memory. It's also fun to see what an informed and somewhat sardonic modern sensibility makes of them anew in the context of these times we are all now living through. -Bruce Bennett, Emeritus Professor of English, Wells College Colin McNairn is clearly having fun as he rewrites nursery rhymes to comment on the wider world. With jabs and plentiful jokes ("hickory, dickory, daiquiri"), he happily draws readers into his imaginative wordsmithery. -Warren Clements, Author, The Nestlings Press Book of Fairy Tales in Verse If Mother Goose were writing her nursery rhymes to-day, she would no doubt burnish her MeToo credentials by condemning Georgie Porgie for kissing the girls and making them cry, have Billy Boy, a.k.a. Charming Billy, look for a wife online rather than by pursuing a ground game; warn us against catching a tiger by the toe, given the dangers of nail fungus; and recognize a twinkle, twinkle in the night sky as more likely to evidence a drone rather than a star. These are among the revisionist scenarios portrayed in the 70 plus mature verses in this collection, all of which have been inspired, to some extent, by traditional nursery rhymes. The subject matter of the verses ranges widely and includes, politics, language, the law, dating and mating, social behavior, food and drink, health, sports, commerce, technology, travel, and the natural environment.
As the great storm raged over the towns of Bootley and Sketchly (and beyond) causing widespread power cuts, meanwhile, at the same time, in the nearby village town of Lentley, amateur star-gazer Scavlon Connelly is recording on his home telescope what he feels is a momentous event in the skies up above. The earth is being viciously lashed with the ever-increasing thunder and electric lightning storms . . . far from the norm. Later that night, he is joined by close friend Tilley and his friend Sarna. From that night on, the trio develops a strong, life-lasting bond, taking them out of obscurity and propelling them into a previously unimaginable fast-developing world of solar energy and science. The story runs over a period, where man has for now secured world peace with all his earth-bound enemies and is now governed by the world government . . . the United Nations of All States.
