Have you ever dreamt you could fly? Or imagined what it would be like to glide and swoop through the sky like a bird? Do you let your mind soar to unknown, magical spaces? Richard Dawkins explores the wonder of flight: from the mythical Icarus, to the sadly extinct but spectacular bird Argentavis magnificens, from the Wright flyer and the 747, to the Tinkerbella fairyfly and the Peregrine falcon. But he also explores flights of the mind and escaping the everyday a through science, ideas and imagination.

Life is filled with emotional highs and lows. Riding the wave of this experience is part of living, but for poet Bernadette Bland, dreaming was even more important. No matter the attitude, mood, or circumstance, Ms. Bland has always believed in the beauty of life. Never to be deterred from her hearts desire, she has ridden her own life wave with an eye to her dreams and an eye to the beauty of nature. In her new poetry collection, Flights of Fancy, Ms. Bland shares her imagery with the outside world. She delves into the lavish splendor of nature in Drifting Grace: Gods Art Show. She peers behind the protective mask of a weeping clown in Behind the Mask. She recalls watching her mother slowly grow old in the poignant Mama. In all her words, she reveals her deepest yearnings and fears with selfless honesty. Flights of Fancy is an example of an imagination set free. Ms. Bland fills her poetry with wonder and will leave you longing to step out into the sun. She is not afraid to depict the sometimes traumatic rollercoaster of life; yet she encourages us to move on, move up, and not look back. Within every word, she calls to the reader, challenging each one of us to never stop dreaming!

The first book was, "The Fancy" about Suga. This is the second book in our Cora's daughters - The Fancy Series. "Flight of Fancy" About Suga's older sister, Asiza. As in the case of all siblings, each child is different - and Asiza is most certainly one of Cora's daughters who has a problem - even though all six of her girls were raised to be a Fancy... Asiza's not interested. She has looks, as beautiful as they come, hazel green eyes to mesmerize. An appearence as delicate, as desirable, and as sweet as they come, however she is nothing of the sort. The man that purchased her - hadn't a clue of what he was getting himself into - nor his friends for that matter. If they only knew, they were about to enjoy the last of many good time - private parties with his new - Fancy. Crashing their party, sends this fancy on the run! Those giving chase after her would learn the hard way, Asiza was different - a search party with the dogs, simply would not do. Desperate, the town hires a bounty hunter - Broc Wolf. They give him specific instructions. Bring her back DEAD - not alive. Bring back her head. Something told Broc Wolf not to accept the job, in fact before he even sets off, he doubts his ability to fulfill their request. After all, he'd never raised his hand in violence to a woman before in his life. Yet, of all the warnings they gave, not one of them cautioned him to guard his heart - once his eyes beheld the fancy - Asiza - he knew immediately, all bets were off.

In a beautiful anthology, ten children’s book greats share stories, poems, pictures, tips, and prompts meant to inspire young readers to create works of their own. Have you ever sparked the start of a story by playing a game of What if? Is there any value to all that doodling you do? What does being “a sponge” have to do with facing down a blank page? Did you know that pictures can sometimes inspire stories, rather than the other way around? From Quentin Blake’s drawings of fantastical vehicles to Michael Rosen’s inside look at his poetry, from Anthony Browne’s shape game (no need to be an artist to play) to Lauren Child’s look at her creative process, this anthology — whose contributors were all British Children’s Laureates — aims to encourage budding writers and artists to let their imaginations soar. The final spread is a collection of prompts from all the contributors, passing the creative torch to the next generation. With contributions by: Malorie Blackman Quentin Blake Anthony Browne Lauren Child Julia Donaldson Anne Fine Michael Morpurgo Chris Riddell Michael Rosen Jacqueline Wilson

Through the mysteries and myths of Christmas and Easter, families balance the values of receiving and giving, of growth and sacrifice. Each aspect of the Santa myth, from his slide down a chimney to his big red suit, plays a part in a child's imagination. Through their offerings of milk and cookies and their letter writing, children bring their relationship to Santa into developing attitudes toward giving and receiving gifts. The Easter Bunny story, with its ritual egg hunt and baskets of brightly colored candy, is explored in terms of life and its possibility of growth. In these examples, Clark shows how children play an active role in constructing family rituals and cultural reality, since their willingness to make the stories their own helps to renew the traditions.

'Both a brilliant scholar and a great writer, Leonard Mlodinow guides us through the fascinating science of what we feel, and why - and what we can do about it. I learned a lot from this wonderful book' Rick Hanson We've been told we need to master our emotions and think rationally to succeed. But cutting-edge science shows that feelings are every bit as important to our success as thinking. You make hundreds of decisions every day, from what to eat for breakfast to how to influence people, and not one of them could be made without the essential component of emotion. It has long been held that thinking and feeling are separate and opposing forces in our behaviour. But as best-selling author Leonard Mlodinow tells us, extraordinary advances in psychology and neuroscience have proven that emotions are as critical to our well-being as thinking. How can you connect better with others? How can you improve your relationship to frustration, fear, and anxiety? What can you do to live a happier life? The answers lie in understanding emotions. Taking us on a journey from the labs of pioneering scientists to real-world scenarios that have flirted with disaster, Mlodinow shows us how our emotions help, why they sometimes hurt, and what we can make of the difference. Cutting-edge research and deep insights into our evolution, biology, and neuroscience promise to help us understand our emotions better and maximize their benefits. Told with characteristic clarity and fascinating stories, Mlodinow's exploration of the new science of feelings is an essential guide to making the most of one of nature's greatest gifts to us.

Enjoy this twisted fairy tale retelling by USA Today bestselling author Nicole Zoltack where the evil one is not Captain Hook, but the notorious Peter Pan. Dream World is rife with magic, and everything is going smoothly for Captain Hawkins Hayward until he finds a young boy and saves him from drowning. Only that boy, Percival Payne, is anything but grateful. As that boy grows up, his resentment and hatred only grow. Such anger causes Percival to resort to drastic measures to try to claim Dream World as his. Hawkins may have to find a way to go to the other world, to Fantasia and other kingdoms, to find aid. The magic there is almost entirely dead, but Dream World just might be what the witches and shifters need. Perhaps both worlds can be saved... or destroyed. Of Flight and Fancy includes the short story The Cost of Hatred.
