Books with author Graham,

Because she takes a silver armband with extraordinary powers, twelve-year-old Cassie finds herself on a collision course with young sky-watchers from Mayran-2 whose mission is to reclaim the powers Cassie now possesses. Cassie, her sister Skylar, and friend Sam, begin an amazing journey filled with extraordinary challenges, powerful children, and magical creatures that threaten the people they love and the planet they call home. Cassie struggles to embrace the new person she is becoming and to face each new threat, but outside forces manipulate her and lure her into situations that are difficult and sometimes impossible to overcome. When the mysterious Tarah offers her help, Cassie’s instincts tell her Tarah cannot be trusted. Tarah’s name could be spelled T-r-o-u-b-l-e, and this could be ultimate trap.

A fresh experience of Zen through new eyes; this book explores Zen with the explorer. It travels, not with a leader, but with the traveler discovering Zen as it goes. The book covers the ongoing journey of one follower of the way of Zen towards the light of Zen; it is written as it came, through meditation, in poetry and prose. It was not created by the author, at least not in any conventional sense, rather everything in this book happened to the author and because of this you will find a lack of order, of logical progression in the pages for which I apologize, but it is as it came. As such it is a personal journey but ultimately it is the journey of all who meditate. It is the journey of all who meditate seen, not through the eyes of a learned scholar, but through the eyes of a humble soul, an ordinary person. This is what happens, or part of it, to you and me in meditation, in Zen, following the way. To this end I hope that you will find parallels with your own journey and from this take strength. So be encouraged; remember it is not complicated, it is simple – enjoy!

The extraordinarily gifted illustrator and storyteller Bob Graham turns his distinctive attention to the animals of the African plains.Morris the crocodile and his best friend, Billy, a tortoise, like nothing better than messing around down at the waterhole. After all, that’s where their friends gather: zebras, hippos, giraffes, elephants, warthogs, and all the rest. In five amusing stories, Morris and company do just what kids do during a long, hot summer- perform ill-timed stunts on the diving board, get soundly beaten by a team of moms in a soccer match, or see their wildebeest friends off on vacation (also known as their annual migration). By turns wry and laugh-out-loud funny, Bob Graham’s whimsical waterhole gang pays tribute to the merriment and mishaps of young friendships everywhere.
