order, in familiar rhyming text and rhythm that young children will 
quickly pick up and repeat. Originally published in paperback and board 
book form, this version of this children's picture book features updated
 artwork, bold illustrations that will make it a favorite for families 
with young children, early childhood educators, and day-care providers.

 story.

Angel! Angel! What do you see?

The circus is in town, and Georgie has his heart set on going. When Papa
 agrees to take him and his friend Harley, the boys marvel at the 
amazing elephants and clowns. But the best act of all is the amazing 
Roxie, a trained horse who can do all sorts of tricks. When Georgie is 
invited to ride on her back, he discovers it’s her last show―Roxie is 
going to be sent to the work farm! When Roxie bolts with Georgie on her 
back, Papa must come to his rescue.

The Circus Thief

The rich interplay of sweet and salty flavors, similar to the one your 
taste buds might have enjoyed today at breakfast, is not a dance shared 
by Rubio Fromage  and Julienne Cheri. Rubio's family eats only salty 
food. Julienne's family eats only sweet. Such lack of contrast in their 
fare is made even less palpable by the fact that their little shops are 
situated in plain, drool-inducing sight of the other on opposite sides 
of Charcuterie Street. One morning, while making deliveries, a chance 
encounter awakens their taste buds, but their parents quickly end the 
budding food romance. Fortunately for these star-crossed foodies, a 
happy and rather delicious ending awaits both their palates and parents.

Rubio and Julienne

Ernie's Wish Trail is a children's picture book enabled for Augmented 
Reality with an iPhone/ iPad app. In every interaction Ernie has, up 
pops a new wish to be someone else - an enchantment with their natural 
gifts. Ernie's wish trail ends in rediscovering simple pleasures and the
 joys of being himself. This simple story for toddlers and preschool 
kids, illustrated beautifully, can be enjoyed with & without the 
Augmented Reality app. The app serves to provide an immersive experience
 by enabling interaction with the story using 3D and sound.

Ernie's Wish Trail

Brrr! Georgie wakes up to a freezing morning back in 1920’s Pennsylvania
 and gets the bad news—there is no coal to heat the farmhouse, and he 
knows there is no money to buy more coal.  Along comes Georgie’s friend 
Harley to drag him off on an adventure to find some mysterious “black 
gold.” Before Georgie can catch his breath, he’s in a pile of trouble up
 to his ears. Take a trip back in time to join Georgie in a heart 
warming tale of mischief made and lessons learned in America’s storied 
past.

The Coal Thief

Envious of her older sister Glassandra's role as heir apparent to the 
throne, Princess Violet enlists Dimplemeyer the imp in hopes of 
eliminating her. Looking through his glass eye as if it were a crystal 
ball, Dimplemeyer lays out a deadly plan to help Violet achieve her 
aims.
      But might there be more to this fairy tale than meets the imp's eye?

Dimplemeyer's Design

An inspirational tale about the special bond between parent and child. 
This book is an expression of love told through touching characters, and
 imparts to both parent and child the feeling of undeniable belonging to
 each other.

On The Day Love Was Born

JT Davis is a young man whose life was changed dramatically by tragic 
events. Not only did the now-23-year-old lose both of his parents when 
he was a boy, but he suffered amnesia during the trauma -- a condition 
that has suppressed memories that he will need to help him and his 
forgotten friends, Kali Logan and Michael Peterson, retrace their steps 
through The Mahogany Door into the fantasy Vryheid world of Bruinduer. 
The adventure unfolds from there.

The Mahogany Door

They scuttle, slither, buzz, and crawl;
        They get no praise or love at all,
        But is there someone who will send
        A note that says, "You have a friend"?
