Every year, hundreds of the most beautiful people in the world come to New York to become models. At age fourteen, Cheryl Diamond was one of them. Living on her own in a run-down apartment, Cheryl spent her days on go-sees, runways, and shoots, surviving hand-to-mouth, while taking in everything she could about the tough and sleazy modeling industry. She watched other girls make mistakes, and swore she wouldn't be a victim...until a career-altering event changed her life and nearly ruined her shot at her dream. This is the riveting, true account of Cheryl's triumphant rise, disastrous fall, and phoenix-like comeback in one of the hottest and most demanding industries in the world.

On June 16, 1976, Hector Pieterson, an ordinary boy, lost his life after getting caught up in what was supposed to be a peaceful protest.

Teach children that they are precious in God’s sight.

This omnibus contains three books about the popular character Punchinello. It communicates the message to all children that they are precious in God’s sight, no matter what the rest of the world thinks. The Max Lucado Children’s Omnibus will remain one of children’s favourite books even as they grow older.

You Are Special

Every day Wemmicks do the same thing: either stick gold stars or grey dots on one another. The pretty and talented ones always get stars. Others, though, who can do little or who have chipped paint, get ugly dots. Parents will appreciate the message this story conveys to children: regardless of what the world thinks, they are precious in God’s sight.

You Are Mine

The need to be important is creating havoc in Wemmicksville. And once again Punchinello is in the middle. Follow his foibles as he learns a lesson that kids of every age must never forget: God’s children are loved because they belong to the Father, not because of what they possess.

Best of All

When the famous Bess Stovall arrives in Wemmicksville, everyone wants to be in her club. But Punchinello can’t because he is made of the wrong wood. Eli the woodcarver helps Punchinello see that he is special because Eli made him. We don’t have to be famous to be special. God made us just the way we are – on purpose.

Also available in Afrikaans under the title Max Lucado Omnibus.

Hierdie omnibus bestaan uit drie boekies van die immergewilde Pinkenolsie. Dit bring ’n boodskap dat elke mens vir God spesiaal is omdat Hy elkeen uniek gemaak het. Dis ’n wonderlike geskenk wat kinders sal koester selfs wanneer hulle al groot is.

Jy is spesiaal
Die Wemmels doen elke dag dieselfde ding: hulle plak óf goue sterre óf grys kolle op mekaar. Dié wat mooi en talentvol is, kry altyd goue sterre. Dié wat egter min kan doen of stukkende hout het, kry lelike kolle. Kinders sal mal wees daaroor om te sien hoe Eli vir Pinkenolsie oortuig dat hy baie spesiaal is, net soos hy is! So sal hulle besef dat hulle self ook kosbaar is vir God.

Jy is myne
Die behoefte om “belangrik” te wees veroorsaak al weer chaos in Wemmeldorp. Pinkenolsie is natuurlik weer in die middel daarvan. Volg sy avontuur terwyl hy ’n les leer wat kinders altyd moet onthou: dis nie wat jy het wat jou kos¬baar maak nie, maar die feit dat jy aan God behoort.

Die heel beste
Wanneer Alta Wonderlik in Wemmeldorp aankom, wil almal deel van haar klub wees. Pinkenolsie mag nie deel wees nie, want hy is van die verkeerde hout gemaak. Eli die houtsnyer wys vir Pinkenolsie dat hy baie spesiaal is omdat Eli hom gemaak het. Kinders sal besef hulle hoef nie soos iemand gewild te wees om spesiaal te wees nie. God het elkeen van ons met ’n doel gemaak soos ons is.

Today, when we think of women of the past, we often think of the 1800s and 1900s – crinolines and stage coaches, bonnets and balls – a time when women were told they were naturally inferior to men, and must stay at home while men went out to work and have fun.

HUGE MISTAKE! There is so much more to women’s history than bonnets and big dresses! Ordinary women have been doing extraordinary things FOR EVER – it just didn’t make the history books (written by men!).

Join multi-award-winning author Philippa Gregory as she tells the story of ordinary English women, making history for 900 years. Meet farmers, highwaywomen, pirates, ‘female husbands’, slaves, soldiers, criminals, writers, inventors, rioters and more – protesting, working, playing, taking risks, getting rich (and getting even!). Their story is one of ingenuity, diversity, rebellion, survival – and sisterhood.

Illustrated throughout by award-winning printmaker Alexis Snell.
