In this beautifully illustrated children's book, readers will experience the world in a new way as they see the seasons through the joyful eyes of Nimkii, a fun, nature-loving dog who will teach them a whole new language: Ojibwemowin, a language spoken by the indigenous tribes in parts of Michigan, Ontario, northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, and Alberta.
Whether hunting for maple trees in the fall, playing in the snow in the winter, enjoying the spring showers, or swimming in the summer, Nimkii seeks out activities that allow her to enjoy her natural surroundings. Fun and inspiring, this bilingual book helps children and adults communicate in new ways while exploring different elements of culture.
Originally published as individual stories in the 1970s, under Billy Blackwell, Director and Editor of the Bilingual Reading Series, Nanaboozhoo Babaamosed brings together these traditional Ojibwe stories, offering readers a treasured bilingual text for language and cultural education. This 2nd edition, published in Ojibwemowin and English, includes original art created for the stories and an epilogue on the history of this project.
Most importantly, as these traditional Ojibwe stories have been collected from the Anishinaabeg, we ask readers to keep with Ojibwe customs: Nanaboozhoo stories can only be told when there is snow on the ground and the thunders have gone south. They cannot be read in summertime or late spring or early fall.
Two of the stories in this collection, Nishiime, the Lost Boy and The Boy Who Turned Into a Robin, can be read year-round.

And a handsome young artist who is the toast of the art world begins to go mad-while the woman who loves him tries to save him.
For Scotland Yard police surgeon and psychic William Scarlet, the cases begin to reveal mysterious links to each other. And why do all of his nightmares contain the same frightening image: a river of blood?

Whispers in Sound recounts a personal journey from deep, traumatic grief to joy. At a young age, the author was catapulted onto her spiritual path of discovery and healing following her mother's death and subsequent life disruptions. The book explores the insights and intuition that manifested as a quiet voice and transformed her destructive emotions into self-love and compassion.
Despite decades of depression, Laura Penn Gallerstein learned to access her internal guidance system. This intuition brought her relief from despair by initiating a deep inner knowing that we are never alone. Moreover, with this wisdom, Laura came to realize we are here on Earth now to witness the shift of the ages: the transition from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age. In this new age, also known as the Age of Light, we are meant to emanate peace, harmony, and love as guiding forces on our planet. Each of us is meant to be here at this pivotal juncture to grow into more loving versions of ourselves and to experience more of our God-given talents and potential.
Using her own life story as an example, the author reminds readers that the main focus of life needs to include uplifting ourselves through creativity and joy that is followed by listening to our intuition. This is the gift of the Aquarian Age. When we begin to hear this deep inner guidance and heed it's wisdom, our lives start to flow more gracefully and unfold with greater ease, as we begin to harmonize with ourselves and the universe. The concept of understanding we are never alone, allows us to relax into optimism--knowing we are innately being guided to follow our higher plan. This plan has our best interests at heart; its mission is to help us remember who we are and to help us become living examples of non-judgmental, unconditional love.
The whispers in sound are the voices of our unseen deceased loves ones and angelic friends who know our essence, gifts and true heart. Their whispers, like subtle sacred sounds, align us to feel peace and ease within which expands into the world around us.
Whispers in Sound concludes with healing audios of guided meditations, accompanied by alchemy crystal bowls, which transport readers to a place of peace, love, and self-acceptance naturally and effortlessly.
