MOM'S CHOICE AWARDS(R) GOLD MEDALIST 2016" H]onors one of the great ladies of our time with perfectly poetic aplomb Bravo." -- NEW YORK TIMESINTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER The achingly sweet rhyming story of beloved Nola, the last American Northern White Rhino, who died during the writing of this book (her species is now extinct)Mesmerizing watercolors cascade readers through a magnificent African savanna, dazzling in a palette of scorching reds, purples, pinks, and oranges as Nola is born and grows up under the loving gaze of her mother. Savanna friends watch Nola as she enjoys all the "firsts" of any child, and masters savanna life.Giggles abound as Nola munches grass and rolls in lovely mud, like all good rhinos do. The story bends soon after, and gently, delicately explains the Northern White Rhinos' plight: poaching, based on the fallacy that rhino horns are thought to possess magical medicinal powers.Extinction is an ugly word...yet Nola's soft rhymes expertly teach with commonsense defiance; a message that stays in little minds long after the story is over: You Ask Why? The truth is this: Some want, what's not theirs (And there it is)What To Do? Love what you've got (And not what you don't )Matters a lot World leaders paused to mark Nola's death on November 22, 2015, her name made headlines around the globe.Extinction is forever.*Book proceeds to San Diego Zoo Global.

Snowy White World to Save (USA Book Awards-Environmental Book of the Year)

It's a headline we have all seen: Global warming is melting the Arctic. Once the Arctic sea ice has vanished, the majestic polar bear, a magnificent creature who needs the sea ice to survive-will vanish too. The ice is home to the bears, as well as well as to their primary food source, the ringed seal. Polar bears feed, mate, travel, den, and give birth on the ice. Some scientists say polar bears will be extinct within fifty years if something isn't done, and soon. -What fans are saying: GLOBAL WARMING'S EFFECTS AS SHOWN TO CHILDREN"...if you are a responsible parent interested in the environment, ecology and the future of the earth and if you are trying to instill that interest and responsibility in your children, this is a book that will help...there is a section in the book that gives children a list of the things they can do to help keep our planet healthy...what a wonderful and gentle way to introduce to our children their responsibility to the earth and its environment." TEACHING CHILDREN TO THINK AND ACT"As a parent, I am so grateful for an author such as Stephanie Lisa Tara...I am so grateful for someone who writes well researched work that is then written from a perspective that can touch children not only to a single cause or concern, but also to simply be aware, open-minded, and compassionate. If anything provides the end of our human world it will be the damage was cause to us and our world through gluttony and apathy. We are becoming increasingly separate from nature and for each other. How ironic it is that as we warm the earth through our actions and inactions, we create a human environment that is cold and distant. Stephanie Lisa Tara provides that warm, safe place for children to learn. She writes from the heart and with love for our earth and our children. How wonderful is that?" BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED, SIMPLY STATED INTRODUCTION TO YOUNG KIDS"Beautiful does not cover the illustrations in this book. They are pure artwork. The colors portray the tone on the pages and accent the story beautifully...I also loved the last page in the book offering simple ideas on how we can all save energy. They are good, easy ideas for young children to understand and look at how they, too, can help...I even took it to my daughter's school so her class could read it and they loved it. My daughter later told me how we "need to remember to shut of the light when we leave a room." Good endorsement right there." GREAT FOR EXPOSING YOUNG KIDS TO GLOBAL WARMING PROBLEMS "Doesn't frighten kids but really great at telling very young kids the story of the desperate Polar Bear mother and cubs to find food and their changing world. Also has a page that lets kids be pro-active by just doing small things they can control. The illustration is beautiful and it's a good size book. Great gift for kids and for teachers, Pre-k and Kindergardeners, to help spread the global warming awareness." -SHARON STONE, Actress, Activist: "Snowy White World to Save cleverly introduces young children to environmental awareness and global warming by making them aware of what is happening to our planet, and what they can do to help save it. Ms. Tara provides a wonderful resource guide at the back of the book that encourages young readers to further educate themselves on the subjects so they, too, with their parents, will become global citizens." -WENDY ABRAMS, Environmental Activist: "Stephanie Lisa Tara presents a wonderful way to teach our children about caring for the earth, and the implications for all living creatures. Global warming is an ever-growing threat to all of us, and Snowy White World to Save invites kids to learn more about what they can do to help by visiting web sites provided at the back of the book."

MOM'S CHOICE AWARDS(R) GOLD MEDALIST: A STORY AS AGELESS AS THE FOREVER TREES IT CELEBRATES."Suddenly Mother jumped to her feet and ran to one of the trees, a three-hundred-foot-tall redwood. ''Forever tree Forever tree '' she cried, smiling. She swept the skinny girl up into her arms. The child s pale skin shimmered in the golden forest light. ''Forever trees, forever trees, '' they sang, spinning in circles. The memory melted into the fog, and Eliza felt very tired. The question came again to her. It appeared out of the gray, out of the damp, out of the cold corners of this new house. The question whispered it always did the kind of whisper that sounded very loud indeed: Where had Mother gone? Shadows appeared and disappeared in Eliza's mind. Still, she couldn't remember. She simply could not remember anything after that last story in the forest. For some reason, she wasn't terribly worried. She was a little worried, for sure, but not terribly worried, because a strange calm held the shadows and the question. It held Eliza, too. Because love is forever."The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness." --John Muir-What fans are saying: "Eliza's Forever Trees is a compelling and powerful account, very highly recommended...it stands out as an exceptional tale of personal and world discoveries. Add Alex Walton's vivid drawings and you have beautiful creation of hope and color."-- Diane Donovan, Children's Editor, Midwest Book Review, Children's Bookshelf"Stephanie Lisa Tara's writing has such a perfect balance of lightness and depth; the reader sees all creatures, (even snakes) as part of a kind kingdom inhabited with their own native tongue. Her creativity gives the reader treats like French speaking squirrels and a fan favorite in her L-ladybug lingo. "Eet eez mine," the squirrel said in her French accent, which made her angry glare all the more assertive. "Oh mly," said the ladybug. "Ohhhhh mllllly," said several other ladybugs. --Mare Henderson, Teacher, Mom"I have read many children's books during my career as an Elementary School Principal. This book is in every way a fine example of the type of literature we should be reading to and with our children. I highly endorse it and hope that you enjoy is as much as I." --Barbara Glazer, Retired Principal, Mom"Eliza's Forever Trees is a rich and meaningful story, flowing with beautiful language and vivid vocabulary...sure to please nature lovers--perhaps it will even make nature lovers of those who are not." --Lee Edward Fodi, Children's Author, Illustrator"This wonderful book is a timeless tale about children and loss, the healing power of nature, how a little girl found her voice again and came to understand that love can never die." --Nathalie Fraise, Nutrition Educator, Mom''Enchanting story . . . the writing lyrical: 'She had always been here, always watching and protecting, guarding her family, as all mothers do, for mothers always come back.' '' --Ricki Lewis, Geneticist, author, mom''Some books actually become the place where they are set . . . they describe a natural environment so completely, so deeply, so succinctly, so magically, and so sweetly that this place actually comes to enchanted life...did I mention the magical quality of the writing? The author's strings of words are so tasty you will not be hungry while you read . . . each delicious spaghetti sentence is a length of truth that you can twirl up on your fork and devour quickly.'' --Brian Heffron, Filmmaker, poet, dad
