A book that you'll love!.......2007-10-02
The history, meaning and importance of our American flag is presented for young readers in rhyme with magnificent illustrations that will be sure to inspire. At the bottom of every page is more historical data, such as the planting of a flag on the moon six times for each Apollo mission, the meaning of our colors, and the myths surrounding the making of our first flag.
How nice to see a patriotic message that entertains and inspires.
Beautiful, patriotic, and informative.......2005-05-05
This beautiful book opens with Muñoz's first inspiring verse:
Our flag is our country's symbol
Of ideals that are meant to last
It's a promise for our future
A reminder of our past....
The accompanying illustration by Ralph Masiello shows a freshly whitewashed barn with an American flag gracing one side. A farmer's furrowed field, a vast blue sky and bucolic setting complete the scene. Each page that follows presents another verse, accompanying illustration, and a text box that imparts a piece of our flag's history to the reader. The book is stunning to look at, informative and heartwarming to read. It is a good introduction to youngsters about how our flag came to be, how it's changed over the years, and its meaning to us as citizens.
Carolyn Rowe Hill
Terrific illustrations, great information.......2003-08-05
This book is a great way to teach children about the Amnerican flag through rhyme and pictures. You can focus primarily on the rhymes for younger children and then focus on the factual information given as a sidebar on each page for older children. Wonderful resource!

The Flag We Love is about the American flag and people willing to die for their country. My favorite picture is when it shows the Viet Nam wall.It is so patriotic. The illustration is so detailed and realistic. I just enjoyed the book very much.
Alexis.......2002-01-23
I think The Flag We Love by Pam Munoz Ryan is a special book in its own honorable,patriotic,and unique way.It tells about
the flags at the Viet Nam Wall and who died. That's why I think it's Special.

One of our all-time favorites..........2007-03-12
Something from Nothing is a classic folktale retold by Phoebe Gilman in a delightful, playful way. My children love repeating Grandfather's refrain "Hmm, he said as his scissors went snip, snip, snip and his needle flew in and out and in and out. There's just enough material here to make..." along with me as I read and they love discovering new things the mouse family are up to under the family's floorboards or out on the town. They find something new every time! Joseph Had a Little Overcoat tells the same story but we like Something from Nothing much, much better.
Something from Nothing.......2006-07-11
This is one of my favorite children's books. I love the artwork and the retelling of an old story. It is a wonderful gift for all your best beloved children.
Something From Nothing.......2006-03-10
I love this book! I am now reading it to my young grandson.
It is such a heartwarming tale. It is really two stories in one because the little mice at the bottom of the pages are an important part of the story going on during the main portion of the book.
The pictures are charming and beautiful. This is my second copy of the book because as a teacher, I wore out the first one and didn't want my grandson to miss out on this special tale.
Wonderful.......2005-10-25
Ever since I was very small I loved this book. Once when I came home from a vacation it was gone. We heard it was out of print. But after a while it reprinted, we found our old book and have given the book to multiple people since then.
beautiful.......2005-08-21
beautiful story, and the illustrations by the author are spectactular. Children will LOVE creating their own text from the hidden story along the bottom of each page:)

jump-start your creative side.......2007-09-03
I purchased this book yesterday, hoping it would reach the stellar heights of Poemcrazy, and so far, Susan has not let me down. I have read about one quarter of the book and the only thing preventing me from being further along(I'm a fast reader)is the fact I have been writing furiously in my journal. My hand is aching, my neck is sore, my dog wants to play, and dinner is not even a figment of my imagination. But, I write on - spurred by the intensely personal and motivational words of Susan. So, go out and buy this beautiful, healing book. But get all your chores done first!
Chico, California writer journeys through loss, to creativity, to play.......2007-06-15
About a decade has passed since Chicoan Susan Wooldridge published "poemcrazy," a book about the magic of words that was a longtime offering of the Quality Paperback Book Club. Words still beckon, but times have changed, and now the creative impulse is called to sustain her in the midst of loss, failure, death. In "Foolsgold: Making Something From Nothing and Freeing Your Creative Process" ($22 in hardcover from Harmony Books), Wooldridge takes the reader into her sanctuaries: Chico Creek, One-Mile, the Upper Crust Bakery.
"When I started the book," she says in her introduction, "I was grieving the death of my father, the end of my long marriage, and the breakup of a subsequent romance. & I began writing these pages when I decided to make a small collage box each day for a year with what I found on my walks -- often the most ordinary, seemingly worthless bits of nothing. That's when fool's gold became foolsgold for me, a field around us, or state of being, where everything can be transformed by our seeing and creativity.
"Merged into one word, foolsgold describes a paradox, the value in what may seem to be worthless. Foolsgold reminds us to look beyond appearances, even in ourselves. What seems to loom in us most darkly may finally be what brings the most light. Everything can be transmuted by attention, play, love." Wooldridge's maiden name is "Goldsmith."
The book contains almost 50 short meditations on life, loss and creativity. Wooldridge wonders how best to celebrate the life of her Poppa Julien, "the renegade bright-star atheist scientist who fled the Jewish fold. ... Sifting through small pebbles as Chico Creek rushes past, playing with juxtaposition, I feel as if I'm engaged in a kind of primitive and almost unconscious creekside alchemy. I search for a way to contain, classify, make sense. & I suspect this is what Poppa, a geochemist, was up to when he was studying mineral & structures in a high-pressure lab with ominous warnings on the door." Poppa is honored by the family with a telephone Kaddish from cousin Harold -- an embrace of ritual -- and, a year later, a scattering of his ashes in Chicago, the day the author's divorce is final.
The spontaneity of creativity, Wooldridge realizes, must be given form by ritual. The chapters of her book "help me wrestle emotions into shape. Frame them." The community she has built, with her two children and the 30 families where she now lives in Valley Oaks Village, has freed her to dance.
It is enough.

Book Description
Did a thoughtful creator speak the whole universe into existence? What is the age of the universe?
Most Christian students today are familiar with Bible "stories" but don't have a clue how to combat the prevailing anti-Christian philosophies. Beginning with God and His Word as the standard, Something from Nothing demonstrates how the biblical witness teaches that the age of the universe is not as old as other theories contend. The authors stress the purpose of origins study as an approach to knowing God in a deeper way. Something from Nothing also demonstrates how all issues raised by evolutionists can be answered not only by the Bible but also by scientific data and research.

"Light is always looking for a body." a. greiman.......2005-01-14
If you are one who loves the west, particularly southern California, you will find great pleasure in this book, returning to it over and over again. April's digital work offers a view that is both humorous and reverential, reflecting the consequences of dysjunction and ambiguity in the present moment, the environment, politics and the general state of being.
I confess I am a fan of Greiman's work. It is always changing the way I see the world and the way I am in it. No small thing. If you are a designer, her typography alone will stop your heart. How does she do it? If you are an architect, you will gather a new vision of space, demonstrated in the relationship of art and type. Let your eye read it. If you are a interior designer, let yourself absorb her use of color and integrate it into your senses, or die trying. If you are a student of the environment, this is also your book. You see the world as both intimate and removed;its real self. If you are a poet, you will see the wordless poem in much of the work. And then, again, if you are a radical, conservative evangelical, you will see God's world in its full blown beauty and worth through the eyes of an angel from another planet. Praise the Lord.
This book...it is good. I recommend it for, say, long plane flights when you don't want to think, but just want to look at and feel the world differently, which, for me, is most of the time, most days. And finally, if you are a singer, don't read this book. You will be up all night warbling, crooning, trying, hopelessly,to find the tune that expresses its great pleasure.

New Worldview on life.......2002-02-05
By writing this book, Mr. Erickson shares with his readers the knowledge about innovation that he has gained over the years through his experiences and searches. "Creating `Something' From Nothing" also compiles many other authors' ideals into a logical as well as innovative sequence that shows the reader how to fully utilize his mind. The brain is a complex structure, and Mr. Erickson shows his readers how the "creative" right side of the brain is just as important, if not more so, than the "logical" left side. This Primer dictates how to solve problems creatively and also gives the reader a new worldview on which to analyze life. Mr. Erickson does a wonderful job at allowing the reader to glimpse a way of life that is different from today's "logical" standards. Whether the reader begins to utilize his brain more or just realizes a very effective way to solve problems, then the goal of this book is accomplished and a very worthy read.
A new type of self-help book.......2000-06-05
The author refers to this a primer. It is indeed, and I think a very useful one. In this era we are used to praising the logical thinker, and downplaying the creative thinker. Mr Erickson shares his extensive experience in using both sides of his brain, but in this case the "right" side of the brain, in order to find innovative and creative answers to business problems and opportunities. I have also found it a valuable tool for the resolution of the everyday occurrences with which we all deal.
Book Description
Tony Simpson was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. Tony, the middle of his mother's seven children, spent most of his childhood growing up on the inner city streets of Cincinnati. Tony has decided to put those turbulent years and the trying times that followed in a book for the world to read how a young impoverished African-American child goes from destruction to reconstruction. Tony recounts the life of poverty, child rape, near-death accidents, suicidal tendencies, fatherhood and personal relationships that he's endured over a 33-year span. Tony speaks to many genres while giving in-depth accounts of his fall and rise—From Almost Nothing to Almost Something. Tony's book is an escape route for all that may be going through the same hell that he went through. This book will take the reader through his life and how he met and conquered the enemy. The book allows the reader to laugh, cry, have a sense of relief, feel deep frustration, and appreciate the journey upon which Tony traveled as he looked back in time.
