Listen to Solomon as he tells the story of two brothers who learn the true meaning of peace and selflessness in this traditional tale that has been shared for hundreds of years in mosques, synagogues, and churches across the Near East and beyond.

  • A truly uplifting and hopeful tale of both family and compassion.  This tale serves as a reminder that peace can exist in any situation.

  • Religious subject matter appeals to many faiths; nicely articulated with an informative endnote.

  • The bright yet simple illustrations fill the pages, perfectly accompanying this magnificent story.

I am busy putting the book plates in the front so everyone can see who donated them. Then I need to get them to the school so the children can start using them. Local businesses here in Ryde and other towns on the Isle of Wight have been very generous.

I have also left some of my Usborne special offersfor the staff to view.
Next on my agenda was a trip to the Playstation Nursery to collect up some bargain books and to place some new offers for the staff and parents to see. While there I was able to say what good deals we can do especially for buying the Childrens presents and the manager chose some suitable items at a bargain price.

At lunch time I had a successful meeting with Sharon my bookeeper who is doing an excellent job and my new accountant Teresa Phillips.

Next stop an apointment to arrange getting lots of FREE books into Isle of Wight schools. More will be revealed later!

I love giving away FREE books and there are lots of ways Usborne representatives can do that for families schools and the local community
I am looking for lots of people who would like to host events/home parties etc before Christmas and beyond.
