Leading actor, producer and director Channing Tatum's picture book
debut, The One and Only Sparkella is a charming ode to self-esteem
and the love between a father and daughter--illustrated by Kim
Barnes. Ella is excited for her first day at a new school.
Glimmering pencil case? Check! Shimmering backpack? Check! Glittery
ribbons in her hair? Check! She can't wait to meet the other kids
and share her sparkly personality. But her first day doesn't go
quite as planned: Her new classmates don't like her disco-ball
shoes, her PB&J-with-sprinkles sandwich, or her rainbow-y
unicorn painting. Ella decides to try to be less sparkly at school
the next day so the other kids won't make fun of her. But with a
little help from her dad, she soon learns the importance of just
being herself, no matter what other people say.

Come on a magical journey through the world of imagination in this
wonderful storybook
The act of self-navigation is a critical capability. It requires
that you stay engaged and focused on your goal, while steering
through the continuous "whitewater" of twenty-first century life.
You can't do it while on autopilot; your virtual GPS will only work
if it is set to a destination that you have carefully chosen.
Hands-on navigation, with your eye on the compass in the midst of
change and ambiguity, has become essential for success. Every
decision about major issues - your education, your career, your
relationships, your family life, where you choose to travel or to
live - is an act of navigation that will influence the course of
your entire life. In this book, you will learn how to set and
follow a course that will take you as far as you want in a
direction that you are capable of going. Using a "personal
compass," you will understand and work with the deep values and
authentic motivations that drive you while recognizing and
overcoming the internal and external obstacles on your way. You
will devise a practical plan to accomplish the results you dream of
achieving. Whether working alone or with a coach, this book will
help you become the captain of your life and career.
Self-Navigation is based on a model developed by one of the
co-authors that is used globally by multinational companies and
leaders to help them navigate their careers, their teams, and their
organizations through the complexities of the current business
environment.
In this "corporate cozy" mystery, an internal organizational
consultant is confronted by the murder of a senior executive.
Working with an inspector from the San Francisco police department,
she unravels the political issues and discovers the dark secrets
that create fear and loathing in a traditional corporation.
Raised in a two-room shack by her strict Oklahoma grandfather,
Gin Mitchell knows a better life awaits her when she marries
hometown hero Mason McPhee. Even so, nothing can prepare her for
what's to come when Mason takes a job with the Arabian American Oil
company in 1960s Saudi Arabia.
Gin and Mason are given a home with marble floors, a houseboy to
cook their meals, and a gardener to tend the sandy patch out back.
Even among the veiled women and strict laws of "shariah," Gin's
life has become the stuff of fairy tales. But when the body of a
young Bedouin woman washes up on the shores of the Persian Gulf and
Mason disappears, her world starts to close in around her.
From the author of the critically acclaimed In the Wilderness, comes a riveting new narrative of self-discovery and personal triumph. Hungry for the World is the story of how an intelligent and passionate young woman, yearning for an understanding of the world beyond her insular family life, found her way.
On the day of her 1976 high school graduation in Lewiston, Idaho, Kim Barnes decided she could no longer abide the patriarchal domination of family and church. After a disagreement with her father–a logger and fervent adherent to the Pentecostal Christian faith–she gathered her few belongings and struck out on her own. She had no skills and no funds, but she had the courage and psychological sturdiness to make her way, and to eventually survive the influence of a man whose dominance was of a different and more menacing sort. Hungry for the World is a classic story of the search for knowledge and its consequences, both dire and beautiful.
Poet Kim Barnes grew up in northern Idaho, in the isolated camps where her father worked as a logger and her mother made a modest but comfortable home for her husband and two children. Their lives were short on material wealth, but long on the riches of family and friendship, and the great sheltering power of the wilderness. But in the mid-1960's, as automation and a declining economy drove more and more loggers out of the wilderness and into despair, Kim's father dug in and determined to stay. It was then the family turned fervently toward Pentecostalism. It was then things changed.
In the Wilderness is the poet's own account of a journey toward adulthood against an interior landscape every bit as awesome, as beautiful, and as fraught with hidden peril as the great forest itself. It is a story of how both faith and geography can shape the heart and soul, and of the uncharted territory we all must enter to face our demons. Above all, it is the clear-eyed and moving account of a young woman's coming of terms with her family, her homeland, her spirituality, and herself.
In presenting Kim Barnes the 1995 PENJerard Fund Award for a work-in-progress by an emerging female writer, the panel of judges wrote that "In the Wilderness is far more than a personal memoir," adding that it stands "almost as a cautionary example of the power of good prose to distinguish whatever it touches." Indeed, In the Wilderness is an extraordinary work, courageous, candid, and exquisitely written.
