I See You is a nature-inspired book. It is the first book published by Nan Henderson. The photographs are of life, and were taken by Nan as she enjoyed the world around her. The book was not only inspired by the beauty of nature, but by a conversation that Nan had with someone who was questioning whether or not God was real. Asking, If he is, then why doesnt he show himself to me? The answer seemed obvious looking around at the beautiful world he has created. As we look around us, we see his majesty everywhere. There are many stories in the Bible of God revealing himself to people in many different ways. This book compares these stories to the way that we see God reveal himself to us today if we just have our hearts open so our eyes can see him. We may see him in a sunset or the eyes of a child. We need to have an open heart and mind to allow ourselves to be blessed by these everyday miracles.

About the Book BARNABY'S SONGNancy Floege AndersonAuthor ID: 966 864Being happy with ourselves, whatever our own unique strengths and frailties, is often a lesson late learned. For Barnaby, however, it comes early. Barnaby was born enjoying his genetic "gifts" and so wastes few moments in regret. Though from birth on, Barnaby's singing is a trial to all but him, he healthily deals with exclusion and animosity from others. Finally, during a fourth-grade emergency, the truth of his gift comes out. Barnaby's story sends a message of self-acceptance and promise of a time to shine. Who knows where hidden talents will take us? Maybe the vibrational cosmos has unseen dimensions for us all. Easy reading for grades three to five, Barnaby's story contains much use of figurative speech such as personification metaphors, similes, alliteration, and of course, oxymorons. Affixes and compound words provide teaching elements as well, making it an entity for classroom fun as well as individual enjoyment.
