A little girl who loves to sing has been told by her older sister to stop, but, leaning on her mother's words of encouragement, she refuses to do so. Instead, she shares her passion with other children through her remarks on how singing has brought joy to her own life and household as well as been a force for positive change in society. From reflecting on the comfort of singing to her baby brother to recalling the role of song in the Civil Rights movement, the little girl's narrative is a celebration of the power of embracing and expressing one's identity, relationships, and values through music and one's very own voice. It is likewise an invitation to other children to use their gifts freely in nurturing positivity within themselves and among others, from the private sphere of the family home to humanity and the world at large.

Sometimes it is hard to talk to children about bad touch and good touch, even harder to come to us about it especially if it has already happened. Let them color it out! This coloring book contains interactive pages so their trusted adult can join in on the fun. Grab something to color with and join your little one on their journey!

(Novela autoconclusiva)Un testamento oculto, un amor disfrazado de odio y demasiados interrogantes...Cuando Alyssa Hollister recibió aquella carta citándola a la lectura de un testamento perdido seis años atrás, estuvo a punto de sufrir un colapso nervioso. Hacía justo ese tiempo que se había exiliado de su Kentucky natal sin mirar atrás, llevándose el corazón destrozado y un bebé en su seno, al que estuvo a punto de perder tras un misterioso accidente a caballo antes de partir, cuando aún crecía en su interior. Por desgracia, los términos del testamento eran claros, y la obligaban a regresar al rancho Michaelson para enfrentarse al único hombre al que odiaba con la misma intensidad con la que lo había amado, y que en el pasado la acusó de ser poco menos que una cazafortunas, antes de echarla de su lado en el peor momento de su vida. Un diablo rubio que aún tenía demasiada influencia sobre ella, y que solo con mirarla le provocaba un cortocircuito al que se había jurado no volver a sucumbir jamás. Scott Michaelson llevaba seis malditos años luchando para borrar de su mente cada recuerdo de la mujer que lo traicionó de la peor manera posible, a la que odiaba con todas sus fuerzas. Ahora ella había regresado y, amparada en un absurdo testamento, pretendía robarle gran parte de sus bienes. ¡Y tendría que pasar por encima de su cadáver para llevarse un solo dólar! Se juró hacerle la vida imposible hasta que desistiera de su empeño, lo que debería ser cuánto antes..., porque no soportaría demasiado el esfuerzo titánico que suponía no tocarla cada vez que le ponía los ojos encima. ¡Y antes se cortaría las manos que rendirse a sus encantos! Este choque de titanes desencadenará en un viaje a un pasado lleno de engaños y verdades ocultas, donde un niño de cinco años será la llave que derribará cada barrera interpuesta, dispuesto a ganarse un padre a toda costa. ¿Serán capaces de desentrañar todos los misterios que los rodean y reconocer al fin que su odio siempre fue un disfraz para el amor? Mientras lo intentan..., cuidado, porque alguien acecha en las sombras moviendo los hilos.
