Have you ever known someone who was made fun of because they were
different? Maybe you have a family member or friend who others
consider "special". Do they get treated fairly? I have gone to
school with people who the world considered unworthy because they
had physical problems or problems learning like the rest of the
class. I recently had the privilege of working with a child who has
Down Syndrome. I have learned so much about the kind of person I
want to be from her. I could never understand why people are not
more excepting of others who are different. Last year I adopted a
puppy who was born deaf. I could not believe how many people
thought he was not worth saving because he is deaf. This book is
for all the people and animals that the world has tossed aside as
not good enough. All life is beautiful and should be treated as
such.
Popular Nineteenth Century nature writer and essayist John
Burroughs on the following topics: "The Pastoral Bees," "Sharp
Eyes," "Strawberries," "Is It Going to Rain?" "Speckled Trout,"

Halcyon in Canada." Originally published in 1879.
Carolina's Story: Sea Turtles Get Sick Too! is the perfect book for
a sick or injured child requiring hospitalization or medical
treatment of any kind. It is a fabulous book for anyone interested
in endangered sea turtles, their conservation, animal
rehabilitation, or ocean animals in general. The "Creative Minds"
section makes it great for the classroom or for a home-based craft
& learning experience. All Sylvan Dell titles feature free

"For Creative Minds" sections and additional teaching activities.
'If you ever doubted that your feline companion has her own inner
life, just watch what happens when she falls asleep, and loses
conscious control of her physical being ...a twitching of limbs, a
quivering of the jaw, sometimes, perhaps, a snuffling noise or a
meow ...Cats may indeed be capable of great mindfulness, but we are
thinking beings, too. In my own case, unfortunately, a being who
thinks rather too much.' In the latest installment of the Dalai
Lama's Cat series, His Holiness's Cat ('HHC') is on a mission: to
think less, to experience more, to live in the moment. She soon
learns the proper phrase for this, being mindful, or, a concept
better known to her as the power of meow. What ensues is a journey
to discover her own true nature, to gain a deeper understanding of
her mind, and to experience life's greatest joy, the here and now.
Throughout, she shares encounters with familiar inhabitants of
Dharamsala, as well as a whole new cast of characters: a senior
exec from one of Silicon Valley's most famous social media
companies (hint: the name rhymes with 'litter'), the Pope's beloved
dog (who shares a shockingly similar title: HHD, His Holiness's
Dog), and a public health inspector who threatens to have our poor
narrator banned from the Himalaya Book Cafe. In this follow-up to
The Dalai Lama's Cat and the Art of Purring, readers escape to the
enchanting and exotic world of the Dalai Lama's monastery in the
Himalayas, and take a peek inside the mind of a delightfully
imperfect creature on the path to enlightenment. By accompanying
HHC on her journey, you will learn new ways to relate to your own
mind: slowing down, finding peace, and abiding in the boundless
radiance and benevolence that is your own true nature.
