lyrical rhyming text and gentle illustrations, this is a joyous
celebration of fatherhood which creates a special reading
experience between a child and their father. Inspire a child to

A touching story about being lost and found again. One day, while
Max and Bear are flying kites, Bear gets tangled up in the string
and flies far away from home. He bumps his head and when he wakes
up, he's lost! Can Bear get home in time to tell Max his bedtime
story? This touching picture book will appeal to any child with a
favourite toy.
The book is about a cowgirl angel named Pixie and a little Native
American boy named Chuhk. Pixie helps Chuhk to deal with the death
of his family members by looking for the Hey You's From Heaven and
to realize that carrying others through grief is a sacred act of
love.
Susan Quinn's extraordinary story takes the reader into the closed
world of experimental "human trials" in which new drugs are
developed. Both the portrait of a dedicated scientist and the
archetypal story of all medical research, Human Trials is the
emotion-laden, roller-coaster trip from the lab bench to the
medicine cabinet, in which scientists risk their reputations,
venture capitalists their millions, and patients their very lives.
A Merloyd Lawrence Book
One hundred years ago, Marie Curie discovered radioactivity, for
which she won the Nobel Prize in physics. In 1911 she won an
unprecedented second Nobel Prize, this time in chemistry, for
isolating new radioactive elements. Despite these achievements, or
perhaps because of her fame, she has remained a saintly,
unapproachable genius. From family documents and a private journal
only recently made available, Susan Quinn at last tells the full
human story. From the stubborn sixteen-year-old studying science at
night while working as a governess, to her romance and scientific
partnership with Pierre Curie,an extraordinary marriage of
equals,we feel her defeats as well as her successes: her rejection
by the French Academy, her unbearable grief at Pierre's untimely
and gruesome death, and her retreat into a love affair with a
married fellow scientist, causing a scandal which almost cost her
the second Nobel Prize. In Susan Quinn's fully dimensional
portrait, we come at last to know this complicated, passionate,
brilliant woman.
