A Quickening Wind

About A Quickening Wind

In a time before history — when Athens was only a little town and Rome not even a dream — a great civilization flourished on the island of Crete. With paved roads and indoor plumbing and a palace with a thousand rooms, the city of Knossos was the wonder of the world.

In a small mountain village, a girl called Lyssa is about to set off on an adventure that will take her to the center of Minoan civilization, the grand city of Knossos — in search of answers. Her best friend, a boy named Tak, has disappeared. She believes he is in Knossos.

But what she finds in the city is far more mysterious, far stranger than what she could’ve imagined. To find out the truth behind the messages she has received, the visions she has seen, she will have to go even deeper into the unknown, and take actions that could change the course of history.

A Quickening Wind is the first book of an epic historical fantasy, a thousand page adventure exploring themes of friendship, purpose, belonging and belief.

About School Leadership from A to Z

School leadership is hard, and it’s hard on school leaders.

More and more school leaders are struggling with the ever-expanding expectations and associated stressors of the role. As a result, legions of leaders are limping into work every day—or worse, walking away altogether.

In The ABCs of School Leadership, Bradley James Davies hopes to turn the tide and bring some joy back to the principal’s office. Through a series of alphabetized essays, Davies draws on his two decades of serving elementary, middle, and high schools as a teacher, coach, and administrator to bring you the best practices, most effective approaches, and most tried-and-true tricks of the trade. Via stories of his struggles and successes, Davies’ refreshingly funny insights offer a way forward toward a place where both leading and living well need not be as rare as a copy machine that never breaks down.

The ABCs of School Leadership is a must-read insider’s peek behind the curtain of the good, bad, and ugly of school leadership. Part how-to, part memoir, this humble and humorous guide will help school leaders in every stage of their careers.

The Bedtime Book that Begs to be Read Aloud
Old Mother West Wind Tales is an utterly delightful updated version of the century-old classic by Thornton W. Burgess, completely rewritten in a poetically lyrical and easier-to-read-aloud version for today’s parents.

Children delight in the mischievous antics of the animals and birds of the Grassy Green Meadow, the Pollywig Pool, and the Windily Wood. All the old favourites–Johnny Chuck, fly-gobbling Grandfather Frog, Jimmy Skunk, and sly Reddy Fox—are joined in their adventures by new characters such as Billy Brock, little Zoëy Otter and her brother Otty, Sneezle the Weasel, and Toby Cockles the Terrapin.

And fun facts about the real-life habits of the animals portrayed in the stories are found after each chapter, offering educational insights about wildlife.

Each chapter is a separate story, only ten, fifteen, or twenty minutes long; being ideal for bedtime reading suitable for 3-year-olds and upwards, and for early readers from 6 -12 years.

These wholesome stories encourage friendship, kindness, heroism, justice, and above all, a love of nature and respect for creatures of the wild. They also cover vanity, pride, wilfulness, mischievous pranks, bullying, boasting, and karmic comeback. The tales have gentle moral pointers that show the consequences of certain actions, such as, “Whatever you do, will come back on you.”

Discover…
• How the Merry Little Breezes Saved Mrs. Redwing’s Eggs
• Why Grandfather Frog has no tail
• Why Jimmy Skunk wears stripes
• How Pee-Tee the Prankster Rabbit got his Comeuppance
• How Reddy Fox had a Terrible Fright
