"The screen shattered and out of the phone jumped a creature with fluffy ears, sharp teeth, a round body, and he even had claws too, though it's true they were small claws."
Ben's mom makes Ben get on their smartphone to do homework. The problem is that a fluffy eared monster jumps out of the phone and attacks Ben. Ben escapes the attack, and, with the help of his dad they fight back.
This is a unique kid's story that you won't find anywhere else. A little bit scary, a little bit of nostalgia, a little bit of son and father being together. It has beautiful custom illustrations. Enjoyable for both kids and adults.
Right From the Start is a story about resilience and a parent's promise to try their best every day. It invites readers to think about their own childhoods and the moments they wished for more love, comfort, or understanding—and to offer those things to their own children now. On this journey, parents will make mistakes, and that's okay. Mistakes can teach us how to grow and do better. We also learn to face the hard things that happened to us when we were young, forgive when we can, and remember that our families came from places where life wasn't always easy. Even so, we have the power to break the cycle and choose kindness, patience, and love for the next generation.
“A Heartwarming Tale of Love, Loss, and the Unbreakable Bond Between Man, Family, and One Remarkable Duck”
Some stories remind us that love isn’t limited to humans—that faith can be found in the most unexpected of creatures. Gramps and L.D. by Dr. Walter R. Hoge is one such story: a tender, true-to-life tale that begins with a chance encounter between a man and a fragile duckling… and grows into a lifelong testament to endurance, devotion, and divine purpose.
When Gramps discovers eight eggs abandoned by their mother, he faces an impossible choice—let nature take its course, or intervene. What hatches from that moment of compassion is L.D., a duck born with crippled legs, unable to swim, walk, or survive without help. But what begins as an act of mercy soon becomes a living parable. As Gramps and Grandma nurse L.D. through his struggles, they uncover something deeper than animal care—they find reflection, redemption, and a renewed sense of God’s grace in the face of hardship.
“A tender, faith-filled true story that proves even the smallest creature can leave the deepest imprint on the human heart.” – MainSpring Books
Through simple country wisdom and faith, Gramps and L.D. captures the beauty of perseverance in the face of pain, the strength found in family unity, and the quiet miracles that can emerge from ordinary life. L.D. becomes more than a pet—he becomes the Lord’s Disciple, a living reminder that even in weakness, there is divine purpose, and even in loss, love never leaves us.
Discover how one man’s compassion for a struggling duck blossomed into a lifelong lesson on faith, family, and the quiet miracles that remind us love endures through every season of life.
Nyla, Zola, and Mia are having an extra-“fizzy” day when their neighbour, Mr. Wellington the tuxedo cat, appears at the patio door with a secret to share: everyone has gentle psychic senses. With his calm guidance, the kittens explore telepathy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, telekinesis, and intuition—learning how to listen to their hearts, send loving thoughts, and use their gifts kindly and safely.
A warm, magical story for sensitive, intuitive kids that turns “psychic abilities” into simple inner skills: feelings, images, and knowings that help us choose the kindest path.
