Mama and Papa bird teach Baby bird in this colorful animation about life in the traditional family nest.Mom's Choice and Benjamin Franklin award winner. Destined to become a classic - Midwest Book Review.Mama Bird Papa Bird is the first book in a series that teach children about life, family and growing up in a family. This book sets up a series of books to follow with titles such as: Mama Bird Papa Bird Obey Right Away and Mama Bird Papa Bird Tell the Truth (Spring 2023). The Spanish/English version was created specifically for those who are learning or beginning Spanish, and for those who do not speak English, so that youngsters and their parents and grandparents can read together. Mama Bird Papa Bird books do not identify gender, so that male or female can identify with Baby Bird. This was written intentionally gender free to reach all children, regardless of gender, and focus on the actions of Bay Bird. Actions such as: learning how to fly, learning how to sing, learning how to obey, and learning the importance of telling the truth. Mama Bird Papa Bird books end with a question: "If you were a baby bird, what would you do?" Again, intentionally designed to ask the question what would you do, versus who are you? Mama Bird Papa Bird was also designed to help parents announce the potential birth/addition to their family in a non explicit way for children. Overall, Mama Bird Papa Bird is ideal for first time mothers, grandmothers and families who want to explain about life in its beginning. Mama Bird Papa Bird is colorfully illustrated by Faith Thomas, in soft watercolors that depict a family of Robins. The author, Wanda Obermeier was born in Wisconsin, where Robins are the state bird. She spent many hours as a child observing them and being awakened each morning by their lovely song that is so very distinguished from all the others birds. Mama Bird Papa Bird has been criticized for being about a traditional family, however, since most birds mate for life, it seemed proper to identify them as a family.

The true story of one individual's campaign against the big banks of America in an attempt to save the world's economy.Throughout world history, empires have collapsed due to widespread corruption and lack of accountability; unfortunately, Hoffman came to realize that America could follow this trend, but he remains determined to prevent that from ever happening. In his debut memoir, Hoffman exposes corruption within America's big banks while recounting his valiant campaign against it. A main focus of Rant is exposing how financial institutions manipulated oil prices following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 - an act that Hoffman believes set citizens back financially and ultimately became a factor behind the start of the Great Recession. In the following years, he embarked on an epic journey to bring this misdeed to the attention of senators, trade commissions, the FBI, and many others. Hoffman faced his fair share of resistance throughout his crusade against corruption, but he never allowed any roadblocks to deter his fight for the truth.With years of experience in macroeconomics, he's able to take complex concepts and write about them in a simple, yet entertaining way that will resonate with any reader. Rant sets a new standard for gripping, unforgettable memoirs. Don't miss out on the truth - read Rant today!

From Saigon to Katum takes us on a side-by-side journey of two men who experienced the American Vietnam War from very different perspectives; Bourret from a classical music background set in rural Americana and Huynh from the precarious rice fields of the Mekong Delta in the time of war. The chapters unfold to allow the reader to view each men's trek from childhood into adulthood as each traverses his new surroundings and understanding of a war neither asked to be part of. From Saigon to Katum allows us to journey through two men's experiences as their lives are inexorably transformed. Before becoming a U.S. draftee, Dennis R. Bourret's only wish was to follow his dream of bestowing music on people's lives in an evocative and meaningful way. As a successful student from the Mekong rice fields, Sam Huynh's only wish was for his family to survive and for his nation to heal and be at peace after generations of misery. Fortunately, both men not only survived the war, but years later, they had the wherewithal to document their experiences for us to witness and contemplate. Their combined voices - while distinct in manner, perspective, and recall - create a fuller personal experience of the American Vietnam War, allowing us a foothold in coming to terms with the universal tragedies of a miscalculated war. Sam and Dennis both hope future generations gain the wisdom to learn from their tribulations.

Tom Jobim (1927-1994) was the leader of a delicate revolution. The transformation he set in motion through bossa nova was so subtle that we often forget just how profoundly he altered the course of Brazilian music - as if it were all "very natural.""My art is about total freedom. If, as a man, I was conventionally petty bourgeois, as an artist, I redeemed myself through the vastness of love."This volume of Music Portraits includes an essay about Tom Jobim's life and work, along with one of the last interviews ever conducted with the artist in 1993 and his discography.
