Every child possesses the innate ability to hear, see, feel or simply know what animals are communicating. In this delightful trilogy by Amazon bestselling author Sandra Mendelson, children are taken on a journey to discover the “animal wisdom ways” that are the keys to communicating with all Life. A dog named Mister T acts as a guide to encounters with different animals around the neighborhood (Book 1), on a farm (Book 2) and in the oceans, forests, jungles, plains and deserts of the world (Book 3). Each animal reveals a secret insight that fosters deeper connection with the animal world. Through the language of rhyme, children are led to see animals with compassion and understanding, build confidence in their own intuition and “inner voice”, listen to signals from their bodies, cultivate patience, move through fear, experience the peace and love inside themselves, and much more. The Secrets of the Animals is the second installment in the We Walk Beside You series. Sandra Mendelson’s first book (for grown up children) is We Walk Beside You: Animal Messages for an Awakening World.To learn more about Sandra’s work, visit her website at smendelson.com.

An explosion shoots a thirteen-pound iron rod through the head of twenty-five-year-old construction foreman, Phineas Gage. Hurled to the ground, Phineas convulses but remains conscious. He says he doesn’t feel pain. When the accident occurred, Phineas was laying track on the Rutland & Burlington Railroad in Vermont. The year was 1848. One of the ‘great’ medical curiosities of all time, Phineas’s head injury may have been the first case to link brain studies with human personality. In this novella, Phineas, his sister, and her husband share their experiences during the years after Phineas's accident. Their stories tell: how the family coped with Phineas’s head injury, the challenges of traveling to California with him, and how his skull and tamping iron came to be on display in a Harvard Museum. Based on a true story and known facts (at the time of writing), this work of fiction brings contemporary emotional qualities to the people who experienced a family tragedy that became a historic event. The Case of Phineas Gage is still commonly studied by neurology and psychology students today.
