Victor loves his pink (accident-in-the-washing-machine) pyjamas. But not everyone does. His father and sister think pink is just for girls. But Victor knows that lots of wonderful things are pink - like strawberry ice cream, bubble gum, and walruses basking in the sun - and they're not just for girls. What will happen when Victor outgrows his pink pyjamas and needs a new pair?This engaging and humorous book explores what it is like to make choices that are different from the cultural norm. In gentle ways, the story examines how people within Victor's family and outside of it react to something "different" (some are supportive, some are not), and how Victor remains undaunted and empowered in the face of the various responses. The full-colour illustrations capture the playful yet respectful tone of the book beautifully.

When was the last time you experienced an adventurous day? Were you grossed-out by anything? YUK!!! Did anything try to attack you? WOW!!! Eat you? EEEEK!! A little brother and sister have wild experiences on a summer day that are scary; especially, for the brother. This is not a normal day for them. Noooo. Not at all! “Get up!” “Get up!” is how they’re day begins. Imagine being excited about your special day only to be grossed out! What happens at the museum has you itching and scratching. The experience at the zoo has you screaming. How can a sparkling swimming pool turn into an infested dungeon? Then, just when you feel safe at home, what suddenly appears will make you jump up and down. Will the little brother and sister survive their adventurous day? Take a peek inside to see what’s crawling around. This children’s book by Kimberly Williams, is not only creatively written, but is based on a real life, beetle bug fascination of her 2 yr. old grandson. Being that Kimberly also has a 1 yr. old granddaughter, his little sister, her character appears, as well, in the book. “Beetle Bugs! Beetle Bugs! Beetle Bugs on Me!” is an original! With Kimberly being a teacher, she amazingly crafted a Reflections Page for ages Pre-K through Grade 5. This added educational opportunity is an enticement for learning as it falls in alignment with the Texas Staar Test and the National Common Core Test.

In 'O' Peniel, Behind the Fans', people use hand fans at church to cover up their indescretions. The preacher, himself, seems to always go out of his way to discover any hidden secrets about people around town. And he has no problem blatantly exposing these secrets directly to that person; while yet still letting others know he knows of those indiscretions in his unsympathetic sermons. He even unexpectedly preached about himself in one of his sermons. But yet, he's still so quick to point out other people's wrongdoings. This makes you wonder if he's unblemished, as well. One person, though, seems to have figured that out early on, but it's not Rhyah. Rhyah, the young girl portrayed as the book's witty narrator, demonstrates that life is full of mishaps and issues and that they are simply a part of life. Thus, we all make mistakes! She, too, has created a problematic secret of her own. One, of which she has hid for several months. It's also one, which causes immense frustration and shame upon people. But, she makes a grand revision to her issue by directly confronting 'it' allowing everyone to know that things like this may walk up on us, but they do not have to overtake our lives. Additionally, the book's theme is given from a (somewhat) biblical perspective that seems to enhance the value of it.

It will be for the historian of the year, to collect the extraordinary circum~ stances that have occurred, both at home and abroad, within the past twelve months; and to place them in array before us.
