Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love… - Mel Brooks Meet Astaire penguin - a little penguin that fears the cold.Tired of constantly shivering, and refusing to follow the status quo, Astaire decides to take matters into his own flippers. Through his sheer perseverance to find a warm place, he embarks on a quirky adventure filled with ups and downs. In the end, Astaire navigates the frigid landscape to find the greatest warmth of all. Astaire's Warm Day is a children’s book for kids just learning to read (toddlers to 2nd grade). This surprising and heartfelt tale teaches children to be kind to others, to achieve big dreams through hard work, and to never forget where you come from. The main character for Astaire's Warm Day was inspired by the real-life Astaire penguin, a Magellanic penguin at Long Beach's Aquarium of the Pacific. The author and his family spent many joyful hours playing with and feeding penguins while "researching" this book. Astaire penguin also pays homage to Fred Astaire, who is partial to wearing fancy tuxedos and "dancing on air." Like Fred, Astaire penguin also likes to glide up high, enjoys wearing neckties with his "tux," and has yet to find his Ginger Rogers. All illustrations were hand-drawn to maintain a colorful, contemporary and timeless style that will capture your child's imagination. Please rest assured no penguins were harmed (emotionally or otherwise) in the making of this book. Age Range: 4- 7 years old Grade Level: Preschool - 3 Author's BioStephen Luk is a children's book writer and illustrator living in Southern California.

When a young man breaks a pact with the Spirit, he unleashes a wrath on a small town where women are compelled to destroy the men. Genres: Supernatural, paranormal, suspense, romance, fantasyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDAp6tAcQZQ Reviewed by Ray Simmons for Readers' Favorite Every once in a while, a book surprises me. I mean really surprises me. It’s difficult to do because I grew up in my mother’s library and I read a lot of books. In The Night the Sky Fell by Stephen G. Levy, I was stunned. I was expecting a nice pleasant read at best. What I got was a totally satisfying novel that may be destined to become an American classic. It’s that good, that satisfying, and that different. I began to think it was more than it appeared to be when I got my first look at Banks Blackhorse, a part Tinglit, part Sioux Native American boy, who really wants to be white. Not just any kind of white but rich white. That is his dream, and he has a plan. I knew I was in the hands of a potential master though, as I read about the children and teenagers in this tale. Tricia Powers is a character that people will remember.I can’t say enough good things about The Night the Sky Fell. The writing is superb. The plot is something that Stephen King might come up with. The characters are simply unforgettable and they keep the story racing along. The Night the Sky Fell is very much character driven and with a little more time and experience, we may have the next Stephen King in Stephen G. Levy. If he can keep doing this consistently. You don’t want to miss this one. A great supernatural suspense tale. Made in America. Made in Alaska.-------------------------------------------------- Reviewed by Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite The Night the Sky Fell by Stephen G. Levy is a tale of extraordinary beauty that will appeal to anyone who enjoys gritty tales of horror. An eighteen-year-old young man breaks loyalty to a powerful spirit and brings down its wrath onto a town. Acts of unusual violence begin to take place, directed towards innocent men. Can this city stand? Is there anyone who could be left? And can the Great Spirit be appeased? Such are questions the reader asks, caught up in the intense action of the fast paced plot as they read feverishly on. Banks has great dreams, but dreams are not easy to come true, so when the moment happens for him to get help, he jumps on it. ‘Banks picked up a large vat from the old pickup and ran to his uncle. “Banks, is it the royal honey?” After Banks nodded, the Chief continued, “Open it…now make your wish. The Spirit above My Head will hear it better in Tlingit. Take the book and feel your way through it to the Great Spirit.”’ Banks doesn’t know that he has entered into a bargain that will cost lives and bring terror to his town. From the moment that Banks Blackhorse makes the wish, the story becomes so intense and gripping.Stephen G. Levy combines elements of horror, paranormal, and fiction to create a story that is as absorbing as it is entertaining. But it should be noted that this is not a book for ordinary entertainment. It is the kind of story that will set hearts beating faster and the reader will undoubtedly experience a wave of conflicting emotions. The Night the Sky Fell is astory with great characters, a powerful plot, and a tension that won’t leave any reader indifferent.
