This award-winning children’s book explores the transformation of a water nymph into a beautiful dragonfly. Follow two insects, Lea and Nym, and the struggles Nym endures when her friend disappears from their underwater home. This tender story about loss and change was written to help parents explain their views about death with children. Children may identify with Nym, who grieves the loss of her friend, and find it easier to express their unique feelings about a death after hearing the story. Through a vision or dream, Nym learns that Lea has transformed into a beautiful dragonfly above the marsh. Someday, Nym will see her friend again in this new world. Beautifully illustrated by Barbara L. Gibson, the book is cherished by parents, grandparents and teachers. It is often used to help explain death to children or to engage children in an open dialogue about death. The hardcover edition has been adapted into several theatrical performances in various communities to help children cope with the death of their classmates. The book, which includes the real lifecycle of the dragonfly, may serve many purposes, such as comforting a grieving child or providing facts about dragonflies.

Second Edition (revised and re-edited April 2014) Most people would envy Frank Mann for living off a trust fund in beautiful San Francisco. But Frank was directionless and spiraling downward - lonely, drinking heavily, getting into brawls. He was sitting at a bar when above the gleaming bottles he first glimpsed the thing that would change his life forever. "It was the largest dragonfly I'd ever seen. Its wings were silver and its body a luminescent blue-green, almost metallic. I swear it was looking right at me." But it wasn't looking at him. It was looking for him. Because it wasn't a dragonfly at all. It was a door into the future. And it was sent to find Frank Mann for one specific reason: because only he could save mankind from extinction. A century from now, the world seems cleansed of pollution, relieved of conflict, liberated from want. Earth appears lush and beautiful, a renewed Eden. But there's trouble in paradise: a deadly virus, destroying all of agriculture. Unleashed in our time, its catastrophic power only emerges a century from now. And to create an antidote, the scientists of tomorrow must obtain a sample of the virus from today. That's where Frank Mann comes in. But success will not be as easy as stepping through the dragonfly door.

Pearl Alexandrine Danetree has always heard stories about the house in which she lives as other generations of family before her. But every old house has stories, and every old family has secrets. Talk about curses just sounds like some bad horror movie or science fiction story. When Pearl dies, her niece Juliette Danetree, the sole legal heiress of her family's history and assets in Petit Coeur, returns to settle the affairs and sell Greyfriairs. She faces lies, a curse, and deception that hang like Spanish moss from all branches of her ancestral tree-a story that begins in 1742 and flows with the Danetree family from France to Louisiana. An old trunk holds more questions than answers, and mysterious strangers attach themselves to her home and heart. Their truths lie in each other's hearts and in the blood they share. Juliette finds escape is not an option and her law background doesn't include lifting curses. She'll need more than legal skills to maneuver through the misdeeds of the past.

Juliette Danetree, sole heiress, has settled into the family home of Greyfriars. She grew up in the bayou mansion, but the small Southern Louisiana town of Petit Coeur is far from the fast paced world she created for herself as an attorney in New Mexico. Torn between liquidating all assets and selling the property, or re-establishing herself in her hometown, she is uncovering more evidence that leads her to believe Greyfriars has called her back to stay. Handsome green-eyed Honore Francois Darden and the intriguing Henderson sisters have quickly become instrumental in keeping her at Greyfriars. When an old family trunk is opened, letters, journals, and confessions are unleashed like ancestral specters that will haunt Juliette's day dreams and nightmares. She is tangled in her family's questionable past, trying to make sense of misdeeds committed long before she was born. Let the dragonflies guide you through moss and moonlight back in time where pride, passion, and

'One of the most unforgettable books I have read in the last few years... What a writer! What a thinker! What a woman!' Fiammetta Rocco From the award-winning author of Dust comes a magical, sea-saturated, coming-of-age novel that transports readers from Kenya to China and Turkey. On an island in the Lamu Archipelago lives a solitary, stubborn child called Ayaana and her mother, Munira. When a sailor, Muhidin, enters their lives, the child finds something she has never had before: a father. But as Ayaana grows into adulthood, forces of nature and history begin to reshape her life, leading her to distant countries and fraught choices. Selected as a descendant of long-ago Chinese shipwrecked sailors Ayaana is sent to study in China. Leaving her resourceful single mother, she is forced to grow up fast. Whether it's the scarred captain of the Chinese shipping container that transports Ayaana or the son of Turkish shipping magnate who trades in refugees, Owuor never loses a profound sense of empathy for her characters. She evokes a fascinating kind of beauty in this dangerous, chaotic world and its ever-shifting oceans and trade. Told with a glorious lyricism, The Dragonfly Sea is a transcendent story of love and adventure, and of the inexorable need for shelter in a dangerous world. 'One of Africa's most exciting voices ... The Dragonfly Sea is a continent-hopping novel of epic proportions.' Refinery29 'In its omnivorous interest in the world, The Dragonfly Sea is a paean to both cultural diffusion and difference . . . as much as [the novel] traces the globe, it also depicts an internal pilgrimage, its heroine in rose attar a broken saint.' New York Times 'Owuor continues to break ground among contemporary African writers.' Vanity Fair

A boy, a girl, an ancient puzzle, and a House of Answers, Artefacts, Miseries and Mysteries. From the moment Horace F. Andrews sees the sign from the bus - literally a sign with his name on it - everything in his normal little life changes. An encounter with the House of Answers, a magically hidden warehouse full of mysterious objects and even stranger people, only leads to more questions. These people think he's special - a Keeper of an incredible gift - although scientifically-minded Horace isn't so sure he really believes in that kind of thing. But then a confrontation with an impossibly tall, thin, creepy and undoubtedly menacing man makes him think twice... Horace must now quickly begin to unravel the mysteries of this hidden world and his new gift, as he finds himself immersed in a battle between ancient forces, where the bad guys don't pull any punches, even the good guys have their flaws, and where friendship, loyalty and trust turn out to be the greatest powers of all.
