Journey of the Star Children Through Time


Book Description

Author Sonja A. Christiansen was born in Frankfurt, Germany, just after World War II. After coming to the United States as a child and growing up in Montville, Maine, she understood she had abilities that were different from others’. She could handle wild animals, for example—picking up wild raccoons and moving them out of the cellar or feeding wild bears by hand. Author Harvard “Ed” Webber was also born right after the war, in the small town if Rumford, Maine. As fate would have it, he also found he had unusual gifts for healing and flight. His first experience in the world of spirit was spontaneously leaving his body when he was in danger or extremely stressed. Who would have ever guessed that these two would meet, fall in love, be separated by others, and, nearly fifty years later, find each other again? By that time both had many life experiences and had studied with many teachers who showed them how to use these abilities for good. They both learned early how to leave their bodies at will and experience a whole new world. This personal narrative tells the story of two children who believed they came from the stars and then built amazing lives together while exploring time travel, clairvoyance, and healing energy.

The Book of Bok


Book Description

First man on the Moon Neil Armstrong reveals the adventure of the first Moon landing, and how the Earth and the Moon came to be, in this unique non-fiction picture book. A young boy sits up in bed and gazes at the distant Moon through his window. He wonders if, one day, a human will stand on its surface and look back at the Earth. But Earth is already being studied from the Moon. An all-seeing Moon rock of almost impossible age, called Bok, has been looking down at our blue and green planet for millennia. Geologists - people who study rocks - have a saying: 'Rocks remember'. During his time, Bok has witnessed some truly wondrous things. Created in the Earth-shattering collision 4.5 billion years ago that led to the formation of the Moon, he has seen stars burst into being and meteors streak through the solar system. He has seen his own Moon surface be transformed with craters, and he has watched a fiery, volcanic planet transform into the haven we know today - as mountain ranges rose up, oceans appeared and dinosaurs roamed the Earth. And he found himself rudely awoken one early lunar morning by a strange creature picking him up and throwing him into a box. That is how Bok and Neil Armstrong first met, and this is their (true) story.




My Journey to the Stars


Book Description

In this debut autobiographical picture book, celebrated astronaut Scott Kelly describes how he -- and his twin brother -- grew up to achieve his dream of becoming an astronaut. As Scott Kelly prepares to blast back to Earth after a record-breaking year spent on the International Space Station, he thinks about what brought him here and what awaits him at home. Scott's partner-in-crime is his twin brother, Mark. They spent their childhood getting in and out of scrapes. They had a talent for finding trouble and taking risks, which turned out to be great training for the biggest risk of all -- space travel. Along the way to becoming astronauts, they learned to be peacemakers, to stay calm in the toughest of times, to support their family, to work hard and take small steps towards their goals. Scott learned that he needed people to believe in him, as his principal did, even though he was at first a terrible student who couldn't sit still. All of these skills served him well during his year on the ISS, where he and his crew ran 400 experiments and he himself became a test subject. The sacrifices Scott made, the dangers he faced and the sight of our beautiful planet from space made coming home even sweeter.
