    THE GRATEFUL DEAD BIO

    The Grateful Dead is a social and musical phenomenon that grew into a genuine American treasure. In 1965, an entire generation was linked together by common ideals, gathering by the hundreds and thousands. This movement created a seamless connection between the band and its fans. As the band toured, Dead Heads would follow. Not because it was a part of popular culture, but because it is a true counterculture that exists to this very day-one that earnestly believes in the value of its beliefs. By 1995, the Grateful Dead had attracted the most concert goers in the history of the music business, and today remain one of the all-time leaders in concert ticket sales. Eventually, the caravan evolved into a community with various artists, craftsmen and entrepreneurs supplying a growing demand for merchandise that connected them to the music. Today, the connection is as strong as ever. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1994 and received a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. Their final tally of 2,318 total concerts remains a world record. The Grateful Dead recently celebrated their 53rd top 40 album on the Billboard chart, a feat no other group has achieved.

    New Children’s Book Encourages Environmental Activism for the Whole Family

    Mr. Penny’s new adventure focuses on citizen activism to address the climate crisis

    Author Lucile McConnell has released the second book in Mr. Penny’s adventure series, “Mr. Penny for President: A Fable of Global Citizenship”. In this family-oriented picture book, Mr. Penny highlights the importance of addressing the climate crisis, and provides a way for readers to take action.

    The hero of the story is a humble penny, who feels insignificant and overwhelmed in the face of the climate crisis. In his adventure he finds the strength within himself to rally all the coins of the Land of Us to save Lady Liberty from the rising tides of the climate crisis. Mr. Penny learns that the solution to the climate crisis is in everyone – through the connection to Mother Nature, to each other, and to the common good.

    “As we look to the future, I want to inspire readers to realize the power of positive individual citizen participation that Mr. Penny symbolizes,” McConnell said. “By combining our individual participation, we can meet the challenges facing our nation.”

    In “Mr. Penny for President” McConnell fuses the concepts of economic, environmental and intergenerational stewardship. She aims to motivate readers to be the positive change that they want to see to save the Earth by their participation on an individual creative basis. McConnell wants to use Mr. Penny’s story to not only encourage discussion about this critical issue, but to give readers hope.

    50% of all proceeds from sales of “Mr. Penny for President” go to support environmental non-profits and the other 50% go to the UNICEF relief fund for Ukrainian refugee children out of respect for the book’s illustrator, Igor Malov, a Ukrainian artist.

    As Mr. Penny says, “We are the heroes that we have been looking for.”

  • Author T.L. Sumter’s new book “Jay Wise in I Can’t Do It, Yet!” is a delightful children’s story with a meaningful message for readers of all ages.

    Recent release “Jay Wise in I Can’t Do It, Yet!” from Page Publishing author T.L. Sumter introduces Jay, a smart, energetic, and inquisitive child who is always learning new things about the world and himself.

    T.L. Sumter has completed his new book “Jay Wise in I Can’t Do It, Yet!”: a charming children’s story that follows Jay on a walk with his dad. Jay learns a very important lesson about self-confidence and persistence.

    Author T.L. Sumter is a former U.S. Army officer who, after becoming a father, sought methods for effectively communicating difficult topics to his children. His military style of speaking was not as effective as he would have liked with small children; he began writing down answers to the questions they would ask him as well as the different scenarios they encountered and making them more entertaining, fun, and informative for children. Those scenarios evolved into what is now the Jay Wise series. T.L. Sumter hopes these stories are educational and encouraging to children and parents as we all learn and grow together.

    Sumter writes, “Jay became very frustrated, so his dad scooped him up and placed Jay on the branch. Jay hung there for as long as he could. Then he dropped. Jay was not happy with the amount of time he was able to hold on. His dad went to pick him up again, but Jay stopped him and said, ‘No thanks, Dad. Let’s go home.’ From this point, so began the day’s lesson for Jay Wise.”

    Published by Page Publishing, T.L. Sumter’s engaging tale offers an impactful message for young readers.

    Readers who wish to experience this original work can purchase “Jay Wise in I Can’t Do It, Yet!” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

    Recent release “Leggy Peggy” from Page Publishing author Gayle Richardson and Paula K. Richardson describes how Peggy Centipede observes Clementine practicing her dance steps every night. Peggy decides it looks like fun, and she wants to dance too.

    Gayle Richardson and Paula K. Richardson, sisters who love to write, and both are graduates from the Institute of Children’s Literature, have completed their new book “Leggy Peggy”: a beautifully illustrated book that explores how when Peggy mimics Clementine, she feels every move brings some clumsiness and discomfort until…she attends a party on the patio.

    Gayle and Paula write, “Clementine practiced her dance moves every night. In the dark, her bedroom came to life as a boom box boomed and a disco ball cast flickering specks of light onto the walls,
    floor, and ceiling. Peggy would creep in, eyes bugging, and antennae waving. ‘This looks
    like fun,’ she said. ‘Can I dance?’”

    Published by Page Publishing, Gayle Richardson’s and Paula K. Richardson’s inspiring book encourages child readers to not be afraid to try new things and put the practice in to learn new skills.

  • Fun Fictional Characters Provide an Entertaining Read Sprinkled with Important Life Lessons For Children

    Fun Fictional Characters Provide an Entertaining Read Sprinkled with Important Life Lessons For Children

    Xulon Press presents juvenile fiction to be enjoyed by readers of all ages, from all around the world, and from all walks of life.

    Author Jean Blair shares a thought-provoking compilation of moral-based juvenile fictional stories in We Almost Turned to DUST in the DUFFEL ($17.99, paperback, 9781662840586; $7.99, e-book, 9781662840593).

    Blair’s wonderful collection of short stories, some written decades ago, had been stashed in a duffel bag under a bed. Lucky for the book’s young readers, the bag of stories was pulled out from the darkness. Blair’s imaginative thoughts brought the characters from each story to life as she imagined them collectively saying, “We almost turned to dust in the duffel.” Each of the book’s full of life characters has a story to tell about persevering challenges and thereby discovering important life lessons. Spiritual growth lessons explore wishing, trusting, self-discovery, feeling important and more. Each quick-to-read story provides the reader with many valuable morals that parents and children will appreciate.

    When asked what inspired the author to publish these stories, Blair said, “At all times, all people need the Lord. Most people plan for the future, why not plan for eternity?”

    Jean Blair was born into a huge and diverse family, which, over time, became more enormous and even more diverse. Sitting at the family table was like sitting in the United Nations. Blair and her four siblings grew up in Queens, New York, which gave her a taste of every single part of the world. She considers herself everyone’s neighbor. When she was a very young child, her mother introduced her to the Lord. She recalls being aware of His presence from the time she was about four or five years old. Besides authoring and illustrating this book, Blair enjoys writing poetry, singing and telling stories.

    Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 15,000 titles published to date. We Almost Turned to DUST in the DUFFEL is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.
