A New York Times 2021 Best Children's Book This heartwarming family story from acclaimed author-illustrator Dan Yaccarino features a father and his kids who are stuck inside the house together — and figure out how to connect and overcome conflict. No one knew where the strange storm came from, or why it lasted so long. The family at the center of this timely story has to hunker down together, with no going outside - and that's hard when there's absolutely nothing to do, and everyone's getting on everyone else's nerves. This classic in the making will lift hearts with its optimistic vision of a family figuring out how to love and support one another, even when it seems impossible.

Your Story Matters presents a dynamic and spiritually formative process for understanding and redeeming the past in order to live well in the present and into the future. Leslie Leyland Fields has used and taught this practical and inspiring writing process for decades, helping people from all walks of life to access memory and sift through the truth of their stories. This is not just a book for writers. Each one of us has a story, and understanding God's work in our stories is a vital part of our faith. Through the spiritual practice of writing, we can "remember" his acts among us, "declare his glory among the nations," and pass on to others what we have witnessed of God in this life: the mysterious, the tragic, the miraculous, the ordinary. With a companion video curriculum from RightNow Media, this is a "why not" book as opposed to a "how to" book. Leslie asks each of us an important question: "Why not learn to tell your story, in the context of the grander story of God?"

Every once in while, a work comes along that breaks through convention and fuses worlds and cultures. The Serpent and the Jaguar is one such work: it transcends the conventional interpretations of the Mayan Tzolk’in calendar and fuses the worlds of traditional Mayan cosmovision, scholarly research, and modern-day needs and concerns. The result is a book that enables virtually anyone anywhere in the world living in industrialized society to apply the Tzolk’in to their lives on a daily basis. For the first time, The Serpent and the Jaguar brings you the Tzolk’in and all of its 260 days interpreted in the context of modern life and modern challenges. The book is the cornerstone in a suite of related tools that include mobile applications, webinars and a strong social media platform designed to help you redefine your relationship with sacred, cyclical time in the face of our demanding, stressful schedules that force us to operate on linear time. Included in the book are: • The full set of the 260 Energies of the Day of the Tzolk’in calendar. • Detailed descriptions of the 20 trecenas and their ruling day signs. • Detailed descriptions of the 13 numbers. • Introductory sections on the Mayan Calendar, the day signs, trecenas, and the numbers. • A guide to living with sacred time • Mayan Calendar tables to calculate dates manually or offline. • Original day sign illustrations by New Zealand painter and artist Maree Gifkins (along with the traditional Maya day sign and number glyphs).

When Charlie Brennan goes ice fishing on her town's frozen lake, she's hoping the fish she reels in will help pay for her dream: a fancy Irish dancing dress for her upcoming competition. But when Charlie's first catch of the day happens to be a talking fish offering her a wish in exchange for its freedom, her world quickly turns upside down, as her wishes go terribly and hilariously wrong. Just as Charlie is finally getting the hang of communicating with a magical wishing fish, a family crisis with her older sister brings reality into sharp focus. Charlie quickly learns that the real world doesn't always keep fairy-tale promises and life's toughest challenges can't be fixed by a simple wish . . . Acclaimed author Kate Messner expertly weaves fantasy into the ordinary, in an important story of self-reliance and hope that will open readers' eyes to the wonders and challenges of their world.
