Using notebooks, paintings, and sketches, author John Miller (Winston and George) weaves a lyrical story about the childhood of an Italian artist named Giuliano Cucco. Through luminescent, emotionally rich images, Miller tells the story of a colorful family and an imaginative boy, from a time when children had the freedom to roam and to dream. This innovative picture book, sprung from images into words, is an ode to childhood and a celebration of the human spirit.
It's also a celebration of the deep inner solitude that we possess as children, wherein we flourish. Here, our child protagonist is ripening on his own, and needs only three words from his father to help him confirm who he believes himself to be.

A fascinating history of America's rise to technological leadership, seen through the eyes of someone who helped make it happen.
Do you know which midwestern city was the first tech hub, decades before Silicon Valley?
Do you know why computer memory, back then, was made by hand?
In the early 1970s, John Miller bootstrapped a tech company on a remote Native American reservation in his home state North Dakota.
In the middle of a recession, out-of-control inflation, and nationwide political unrest amongst Indian American activists.
He started up with no capital. His only product was soon to be replaced by the silicon chip.
Thirty years later, Miller sold his company for 18 million dollars.
In Bootstrap Entrepreneur, you'll discover:
Bootstrap Entrepreneur is compelling and entertaining. If extraordinary achievements by ordinary people inspire you, if you enjoy exploring hidden histories, and if you believe in the American Spirit, then you'll love John Miller's memoir of midwestern ingenuity and entrepreneurship.
In a deep and confiding tell-all memoir, author John Miller shares his background and the events that led him to become a pastor-and how he learns to deal with the shroud of depression hanging over his life.
As a teen, John Miller often butt heads with his Marine-turned-pastor dad-a visceral tension that led to John's rebellion against the local church during his teen years. In his memoir My Suicide Note: Searching For Purpose, John recounts his life's most influential moments and greatest failures... including two suicide attempts.
Filled with profound sadness and a close-to-the-chest narrative, My Suicide Note: Searching For Purpose describes the havoc John's depression had on his life. In addition, it illustrates a very real account of someone searching for meaning amid suffering.
Through his memoir, John hopes to connect with readers through his story. He intends the book to give an inside look at how depression can cause suicidal ideation.
The most important lesson from this book? I would like readers to know they are not alone in their struggles, said John.
This book will resonate with any reader who has been haunted by depression. It also offers help and facilitated understanding to loved ones whose family or friends suffer from depression's debilitating effects.
