'Sleep. It consumes me. Every inch of my body. Every part of my mind. Until it is shrouded in darkness and I’m subdued by the black. Time passes. It could be an eternity for all I know. But it’s not. My subconscious emerges from a realm devoid of light. And that's when the nightmare begins. Again.'Mark Young invites you into a world of dark fantasy and horror. The first of 13 chilling stories in this collection, 'The Heartbreaker,' is a tale of a soldier deceived by those seeking to exploit his 'gift' - a supernatural power acquired as a casualty of war fighting for his country. Pushed to his limits, Steve Wrangler is forced to make horrific choices in order to survive.

Orcas are found in every ocean on the planet. But can they survive their relationship with humans? Orcas Everywhere looks at how humans around the world (Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike) related to orcas in the past, how we relate to them now and what we can do to keep cetacean communities alive and thriving. The book deals with science, philosophy, environmentalism and ethics in a kid-friendly and accessible way. Writer, filmmaker and orca activist Mark Leiren-Young takes us back to when killer whales were considered monsters and examines how humans went from using orcas for target practice to nearly loving them to death. If you know a young person who loves Free Willy or Finding Nemo, they will fall in love with these whales.

This is a children's picture book. It focuses attention on our kinship with all mammals, using simple text and delightful full-color illustrations of animal mothers naturally feeding their babies. The illustrations and text highlight sea mammals living in the oceans of our shared planet home. Children learn about the nursing habits of animals they love from all parts of the world - porpoises, dolphins, sea lions, orca whales and others. The book is another celebration of the mother-infant bond that is naturally established through nursing. But more, this new book takes a stand for the health of the environment, honoring the Earth and all her creatures. Today, the oceans and their inhabitants are threatened by hunters, by the melting of polar ice caps, and by the pollution and debris dumped without conscience into our waters. Yet, careful decisions made by humans can save our planet. We believe that introducing young children to the nursing habits of sea mammals can foster a love and concern that will grow to protect the Earth we love.

Frog and Toad meets Deep Space Nine! Robot is a helper robot, not a relaxing robot. But with the help of Dr. Grzbl (plus a cozy chair and a whole lot of tea), Robot will learn that we can all be much more than we were ever programmed to be.Because Robot has trouble understanding emotions and dealing with social situations, the series will particularly appeal to children both on and off the Autism spectrum who have similar struggles.The ebook editions are optimized for tablet reading so the text appears large and readable on a Kindle Fire or iPad. Since they don't need the kindle software's text enlargement function, they use it to include pop-up definitions for more difficult words and secret messages instead!Geared toward early readers, this is the first children's picture book from Chooseomatic Books and Arabella Grimsbro author Matt Youngmark.
