“Better than you expect is the best result to get, I think. It adds a dash of pleasant surprise, because if you always get what you expect, life loses its flavour.” Lyla is a one small, insignificant nine year old whose dream is to be the best dancer she can be. With competitions and shows coming up, Lyla’s life is immersed in the pure love of dance. Now there is something even bigger to look forward to. The second edition of Dancing For Life™, a spectacular fundraiser for several local charities, is just around the bend.

As a child, I grew up on Chestnut Ridge in the mountains of Latrobe Pennsylvania.My brothers and cousins would wonder thru the woods playing, and one of the peoplewho we knew as children was a man named “Mr. Clark”. Mr. Clark live back “The oldroad” as we called it , where also my Great Grandfather “Sam Campbell” had a farm.Mr. Clark lived in an old house; one room was hewn logs, and the other room which was added on was of frame design. There was a pot belly stove on the front room, and a spring house outside his front door. Mr. Clark collected fiddles, that fascinated me. I today am a pianist and musician and have always loved music. I remember fondly him playing the fiddle for us children, so I’ve written about him.

A book about people, homes and communities -

This book is dedicated to all children and their parents, in hopes that they will never display prejudice, nor bare the burden of facing prejudice. I hope they will see people for who they are inside, not whom they are outside.

I thank:
My grandchildren: Aaron, Isaiah, Elijah, Nicholas, Joshua, Jacob, Sierra and Jeremiah without whom I never would have realized a need for this book.
Samantha, whom I have seen grow from a beautiful baby to a lovely young lady. She has had to fight racial prejudice all her life, and yet, has overcome that obstacle and dedicated herself to become an accomplished clarinetist. I believe she will go a long way with her determination.

I would also like to thank everyone who gave me the courage and encouragement to write this book.

Visit Kids ‘N’ Stuff whenever you like with “KIDs” as your tour guide. Written by founder Rebecca Mitchell with artwork by Karen Dobbins and Mary Habicht, this book will take you on an adventure through some of the museum’s most popular exhibits. This book is a wonderful way to remember a visit to the museum or to share it with friends and family who can’t visit themselves. What started as a dream for children, today is Kids ‘N’ Stuff.In the spring of 2000 Rebecca Mitchell sat on an airplane reading an article about the Boston Children’s Museum. As she sat reading the article, a vision for the future of downtown Albion and the community’s youth came to her: take a building that been vacant for over 10 years and turn it into a children’s museum. As a member of the Albion Public School Board and Downtown Development Authority, Mrs. Mitchell had first hand knowledge of both community economic needs and the lack of resources for children under the age of 10. From her desire to create a safe and engaging environment for youth, and the generosity of building donor Tom Feldpausch, more than 100 community volunteers joined together to open Kids ‘N’ Stuff: An Interactive Experience for Kids, which opened to the public on September 15, 2002. This activity is supported by the Community Development Artist in Residence Grant Program of the Arts & Industry Council and is made possible by a grant from the WK Kellogg Foundation.

Petit Paul Globe Trotter is a series of colour books for children, an engaging set of stories that explores the wonders, joys, and challenges of travel and multiculturalism in the perspective of a toddler. This book series is a collaborative labor of love between author Lise Leyris, illustrator Maxim Lo Mei Sum, Dr. M. Fraissinet, and of course, Paul. The Earth is a big and beautiful world full of sights, sounds, tastes, and people of all kinds to meet, and the young traveler Petit Paul is eager to experience it all. In this installment of the series, our little traveler explores Hong Kong, the city of his birth, a place made up of the traditional and the modern, influenced by the East and the West, and full of people from just about everywhere in the world. It can be challenging for a three-year-old boy to take all of this diversity in, but Petit Paul can always turn to mum and dad for answers, stories, laughs, and hugs. Traveling to different places and interacting with the many cultures can be fun, exciting, and even intimidating at times, but with the help of his parents and friends, Petit Paul can happily learn and experience what it is to be a citizen of the world. The Petit Paul Globe Trotter series has been created in various languages (English, French, Simplified Chinese and Spanish). An iPad version will soon be available to make for a more interactive reading experience. The Petit Paul Globe Trotter series is a product of Extend My World®, visit www.extendmyworld.com
