Spreading the word about authors is why we are here and this week I get to show you three novels from Michigan based publisher William Joseph K Publishing.
The Worm and the Caterpillar by Matthew Ball, Larry Ball (Illustrator)
A story drawing a comparison between the worm & the caterpillar who both begin life as crawling forms, but in the end wind up very different. This children’s book depicts the timeless affirmation that the power of belief coupled with the will to try is an immeasurable force making any transformation possible.
Booze House: Snap Shot Stories by Maria Mendoza
Raised in a home of instability, addiction, and violence, this is the story of a young girl fighting to navigate a path to normalcy amidst the turmoil of a family held hostage to alcoholism, betrayal, autism, and pain.
Minnie and Melvira by Matthew Ball, Larry Ball (Illustrator)
A story about discovering true friendship . . .
Each of us has the wonderful opportunity to make friends, but our friendships can have the power to affect who we are. By joining in the lives, actions, and habits of others, we become like them. So we must choose our friends as carefully as we choose what we want to be ourselves.
Here Minnie learns that finding a good friend can be hard, but that she can always start by friending those that show kindness to her, and to others.
The worm and the caterpillar looks adorable.
These look interesting. I wonder what Snap short stories are? (on Booze house) Oh, well, thanks to the magic of internet, I think I’ll look!
