When it comes to the quality of our lives, is seeing really believing, or does our attitude create our reality? Rick Baty has lived a rich life, full of both good and not-so-good times. The bull's horns have gotten him more than once, and now he's learned how to change his attitude to grab those horns and turn things around. Along the way, he discovered that despite our culture's focus on winning, it is losing that builds character. He now navigates the unpredictable waters of life with a simple map: appreciate the good times, trust your instincts, keep a strong faith and hold your dear ones close to you. Whether your life is currently the magic carpet ride you always envisioned, or whether the bull's got you, the wisdom in this little book helped Rick survive his not-so-good days, and it can help you, too. Rick reminds us all to remember this: When the bull hooks you, life isn't over. It has just begun.

But Manolo has a secret he dares to share with no one--he is a coward, without afición, the love of the sport that enables a bullfighter to rise above his fear and face a raging bull. As the day when he must enter the ring approaches, Manolo finds himself questioning which requires more courage: to follow in his father's legendary footsteps or to pursue his own destiny?

A true classic with a timeless message! All the other bulls run, jump, and butt their heads together in fights. Ferdinand, on the other hand, would rather sit and smell the flowers. So what will happen when Ferdinand is picked for the bullfights in Madrid? The Story of Ferdinand has inspired, enchanted, and provoked readers ever since it was first published in 1936 for its message of nonviolence and pacifism. In WWII times, Adolf Hitler ordered the book burned in Nazi Germany, while Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, granted it privileged status as the only non-communist children's book allowed in Poland. The preeminent leader of Indian nationalism and civil rights, Mahatma Gandhi—whose nonviolent and pacifistic practices went on to inspire Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.—even called it his favorite book. The story was adapted by Walt Disney into a short animated film entitled Ferdinand the Bull in 1938. Ferdinand the Bull won the 1938 Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons).
