Childhood is a time filled with new motor challenges and all kinds of hurdles; Kids are busy learning to tie their shoes, zipper their jackets, ride a bicycle, negotiate the playground, and write their names. All of these skills require kids to have strength, coordination, and the ability to focus and attend. The activities in this book “Active Imagination Activity Book” tap into what kids love best - PLAY. The activities pictured in this book provide fun, easy, and imaginative exercises to build your child’s skills that are necessary for meeting the challenges of everyday life at home, school, and out in the community. Whether your child/client can benefit from movement activities that are calming, energizing, strengthening, or simply from getting exercise in general, you will find this book to be a helpful resource at home, school, or in a therapeutic setting. The large clear pictures and concise descriptions are especially helpful for children who have difficulties with language, cognition, or attention. The activities themselves require little or no equipment and the duration of activities can be easily adapted as the child’s skills advance.

This is the first book in a series of historical fantasy/shadow history about 19th century Covington/Newport, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio. You think you know the history of this region and the events that shaped it? You really don't. You think you know the notable people who were born or lived here and who went on to influence the country and the world? You might be surprised. This is the area that was once considered for the nation's capital, the "Paris of the West," and was the home to many famous Americans who influenced U.S. and world history. But it also, for a time, became the focal point for the forces of dark magic, mythological creatures, and international conspiracy. Now over a century removed from that time, the truth can finally be told. Are you ready for it?
