Body, Mind, & Spirit 4 Free Will Explained How Science and Philosophy Converge to Create a Beautiful Illusion by Dan Barker, author of God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction Do we have free will? And if we don’t, why do we feel as if we do? Popular author Dan Barker examines the way we make choices in this world through his original concept of “harmonic free will”: a philosophy that acknowledges both the impersonal laws of cause and effect that govern our world, as well as our own independent volition—without ever seeing these two perspectives as contradictory. DAN BARKER is a former-evangelical-preacher-turned-outspoken-atheist who, along with his wife Annie Laurie Gaylor, runs the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to the separation of church and state. He has written numerous articles for Freethought Today, an American freethought newspaper, and is also the author of Godless (Ulysses Press) and God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction (Sterling).

Children's Middle Grade 40 Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus by Dusti Bowling Aven Green was born without arms—so when her dad takes a job running a dying western theme park in Arizona, she knows she’ll become the center of unwanted attention at her new school. But she bonds with Connor, a classmate with his own disability to conquer. Then they discover a room at the park that holds bigger secrets than Aven ever could have imagined. Can Aven face her fears, solve a mystery, and help her friend, too? DUSTI BOWLING holds a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Education, but she realized that her true passion was writing. The Day We Met, her self-published YA novel, has sold over 20,000 copies. She currently lives in Carefree, AZ with her husband and three daughters.

Praise for Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus:

«“ She is a perky, hilarious, and inspiring protagonist whose attitude and humor will linger even after the last page has turned. The tale of Stagecoach Pass is just as compelling as the story of Aven, and the setting, like the many colorful characters who people this novel, is so vivid and quirky that it’s practically cinematic. VERDICT Charming and memorable. An excellent choice for middle grade collections and classrooms.” —School Library Journal (starred review)

«“ Following poignant revelations about Aven’s birth family, the author lets warm but not gooey sentiment wash over the close to a tale that is not about having differences, but accepting them in oneself and others.” —Booklist (starred review)

“ Connor’s Tourette’s support-group meetings and Aven’s witty, increasingly honest discussions of the pros and cons of ‘lack of armage’ give the book excellent educational potential. . . . its portrayal of characters with rarely depicted disabilities is informative, funny, and supportive” —Kirkus Reviews

“ Bowling’s sensitive and funny novel . . . demonstrates how negotiating others’ discomfort can be one of the most challenging aspects of having a physical difference and how friendship can mitigate that discomfort. . . . [an] openhearted, empathic book.” —Publishers Weekly

Children's Picture Books 50 Up In the Leaves The True Story of the Central Park Treehouses by Shira Boss, illustrated by Jamey Christoph “Bob lived in the big city. The city was very crowded.” This charming picture book tells the true story of Bob Redman, who took refuge from the noise and the crowds of New York City in the natural beauty of Central Park—where he covertly built a series of amazing treehouses. He played cat-and-mouse with the park workers until he was finally caught. But his story has a happy surprise . . . SHIRA BOSS is a writer who lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, three blocks from Central Park. Up in the Leaves is her second book. She earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from Columbia University, including a master’s in journalism. When her Japanese maple tree needed pruning, several people suggested she call arborist Bob Redman. He said it was the smallest tree he has ever worked on (about four feet high, in a pot). Now they have two sons, two whippets—and many more trees. Connect with them at shiraboss.com. JAMEY CHRISTOPH’s illustrations have appeared in The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and in several award-winning children’s books, including Gordon Parks: How the Photographer Captured Black and White America by Carole Boston Weatherford (Albert Whitman).

Children's Activity 55 What’s on Your Plate? Exploring the World of Food by Whitney Stewart, illustrated by Christiane Engel It’s a big, tasty world out there! What’s on Your Plate? takes kids on an illustrated tour through the cuisines of 14 countries to see how people internationally prepare, eat, and think about food. For each cuisine, there’s an overview of the country and its native foods, pronunciations and descriptions of popular dishes, an easy recipe, and a crop map. The fun elements will excite young foodies! WHITNEY STEWART will travel far for a story. She’s trekked in a Himalayan snowstorm with Sir Edmund Hillary, interviewed the Dalai Lama in India, and visited Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma. She’s worked as a puppeteer in France and has dug in former WWII battlefields in rural Poland. She is the author of travel stories, multiple children’s books, and her new mindfulness activity cards, Mindful Kids. When she is not writing or traveling, she teaches mindfulness and meditation to children. CHRISTIANE ENGEL is an award-winning illustrator and children’s book writer. She loves creating quirky characters, map illustrations, and using her own hand-lettering in her projects across publishing and advertising. Her work has also been applied to animated programs and puzzles—one of which won a puzzle-of-the-year award. Christiane lives by the sea in ETHIOPIA South East England with her family. There are more than eighty different religious groups in Ethiopia, and the cuisine is just as diverse! Orthodox Christians in Ethiopia have about two hundred days of fasting a year. They do not eat meat or dairy products on those days. Similarly, the Muslim population— in line with religious beliefs—does not eat pork. These religious traditions have resulted in a cuisine that includes a variety of meatless recipes. Chickpeas, lentils, and split peas are used in many Ethiopian dishes. These foods are spiced with berbere, a blend of chili pepper, garlic, ginger, cumin, and coriander powders. Most Ethiopian meals start with injera, a spongy pancake made from teff, which is a tiny POPULAR ETHIOPIAN FOODS seed from an ancient grass that is ground into flour. People pile vegetable or meat wot *DORO WOT (DO-ro wot): spicy chicken stew* (stew) on top of injera and eat the whole thing with their fingers.
