Try to spy the small, colorful animals hidden inside the big pictures! Can you find 1 red ladybug nestled among hundreds of multicolored ladybugs? How about 2 orange fish or 6 brown bears? And since chameleons hide everywhere, can you count how many are concealed among the other animals throughout the book? Sam Williams’ stunning, bright illustrations make this a wonderful search and counting book to teach and enjoy.

Fern dreams of riding on a wild horse's back, as fleet as the wind. She makes pets of small animals and watches the bison herds as they pound over the endless grasses of the steppe. Chafing at the inequality of being female, she longs for the freedom her twin brother enjoys to run free in the wilderness. One day in early spring, Fern secretly rescues a young horse mired in the bog, names her Thunder, and tames her enough to ride. But the people of her tribe are distrustful of her bond with nature. Is she a witch? Fern's future looks bleak until a silent man in a rival tribe, known only as The Nameless One, teaches her about patience—and love.Susan Williams's lyrical prose makes this journey to prehistoric western Asia at once inspiring and heart wrenching.

"Private Prison Enterprising Corporations" has established a lucrative and booming "private prison industry". The corrections corporation of America (CCA), and GEO Group, the nation's two largest owners of "private prisons industrial complexes across America, has seen its revenues climb by more than "500 percent" in the last two decades. and "CCA" wants to get much, much bigger: last year, the company made an offer to 48 governor's to buy and operate their state-funded prison's. Yet, what made CCA's pitch to those governor's so audacious and shocking, was that it included so-called "occupancy" requirements, a clause demanding the state to keep those newly privatized prisons at least, to a 90 percent capacity at all times; regardless, of whether crime is rising or decreasing nationally. Occupancy requirements, as it turns out, is common practice within the private prison industry. A new report by "In the Public Interest", and "Anti-Privatization Group", reviewed 62 con tracts for private prisons operating around the country at the local and state levels. "In the Public Interest", found that 41 of those contracts included occupancy requirements mandating that local or state governments keep those facilities between 90 to 100 percent full annually. In other words, whether crime is rising or falling, the state must keep these beds full, in waging this incredible "slave system" enterprise. Private prison venture-capitalist investor's, are guaranteed profits, regardless if prison occupancy falls short of one hundred percent prison inmate occupancy.Human cargo, is the commodity that guarantees enormous profits. However, as we very well perceive, minorities, marginal citizens, illegal immigrants, and poor citizens, along with "detained foreign immigrants" (no legal convictions), will assume the prisons "work force"; which is regulated by "Private Prison Enterprising Corporations". These "slave oriented corporations" have supported and helped write "a three strikes" and "truth in sentencing laws" that drive up prison populations. Their livelihoods depends on American Towns, Cities, and States sending more people to private prisons across America, and keeping them their to labor for;0.25 cents per hour to the maximum of $1.75 cents an hour. The wage $1.75 cents an hour is paid to educated professional and technically advanced prison inmates. Noteworthy: "It's estimated that the state of Colorado alone, not including the many other "private prison facilities, and immigrant detention centers; wasted at least two million dollars of taxpayers money by using CCA's prisons, instead of it own "state prison" facilities. It's estimated that African-Americans, minorities, immigrants, and poor Whites are profiled and censured by "social scientist", who are on the payrolls of "Private Prison Enterprising Corporations"; that forecast the numbers of potential candidates that will enable this 21st century "slave system venture-capital enterprising system" to grow larger and larger as time dictates. However, we will witness the "homeless" citizens of America, being corralled into these "Private Prisons" at enormous "Body-Count" rates, within the near to present years to come...

Sue Williams has delivered us Women of the Outback and Outback Spirit, stories she gathered from the people of the bush. Ever curious, this time Sue puts herself in the firing line, seeking to find the essence of the outback experience – perfect for all us armchair travelers. She traveled the width and length of Australia by bus, train, car, campervan, Troopy, horse, goat, foot and plane. She helped pregnancy-test cattle at a remote property in the far north of South Australia, swallowed countless flies and ran through muddy dams carrying a pretend-sheep on her shoulders in an outback Ironwoman challenge. She saw the country in drought, in flood, between swarms of locusts and a mice plague, mixing with old drovers, new backpackers, overseas tourists, new settlers and old-timers. Sue knows how to tell a good story – and confirms once and for all that it’s a weird place out there.

Despite the presence of "how-to" in the title, this is not a self-help book. Rather, it's a humorous account of what I've learned over the years as a mom of three unique children. In my humble opinion, there are five “rules” of parenting:Rule #1: Don’t beat yourself up (even when you’re certain you deserve it).Rule #2: Laugh a little (or a lot) (and especially at yourself).Rule #3: Listen to everything (and hold onto the good stuff).Rule #4: Love (even when you don’t like).Rule #5: Give it (all) to God.I certainly don’t think I’m the best mom in the world or even that my motherhood experiences are all that unique. I simply wanted to put this book together to provide some hopefully entertaining anecdotes full of learning and encouragement without arrogance (or even a sense that I have it all figured out).
