A Must Read." -Judy B. Cohen – Elite Media Group "Deliciously Entertaining and a very thought inducing book; I bought it for a friend as a gift and she loved it as well. It's by far one of the finest Fiction books to have come out in the last decade." -Dave Baker -Book Bloggers of America "The Path is an extremely fascinating book; it really made me think. If you're looking for a book that will not only make you emotional, but will also exercise your mind, then look no further than this book. Amazing; Five Stars All The Way." -Debra Eisner -Literary Times Inc. "My favorite Fiction book this year; so far we have read more than eight. Highly Recommend." -Emma Righter -Writers United Group "This book reminded me why I fell in love with reading in the first place; thank you Mr. King for making such an amazing and inspiring book. Keep up with the great story telling. Ten Thumbs Up." -Lee Ratner –Daily Media Trends, Inc. Editorial Review The Path in itself is a journey. By the end of the book, you will feel like you have gone through an emotional and cerebral roller-coaster. This book will really make you think; but more than that, it will make you feel. The Path is a call to action for all generations, young and old. Not since Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, has a book come out as thought provoking and inspiring. Mr. King does it again. Excellent Book! Jim S. Stein Book Description A little Boy gets lost on a path; along the way, he meets three versions of his future self and discovers the meaning of life. What lessons will he learn; what secrets are going to be revealed? Jump into the path and you will find out..... If you had the power to go back and change one decision in your life, what would it be? Favorite Quote "Life is a comedy to those who think; a tragedy to those who feel." Join me on an adventure and together we will discover the true purpose of life.

How and Why to Read and Create Children's Digital Books outlines effective ways of using digital books in early years and primary classrooms, and specifies the educational potential of using digital books and apps in physical spaces and virtual communities. With a particular focus on apps and personalised reading, Natalia Kucirkova combines theory and practice to argue that personalised reading is only truly personalised when it is created or co-created by reading communities. Divided into two parts, Part I suggests criteria to evaluate the educational quality of digital books and practical strategies for their use in the classroom. Specific attention is paid to the ways in which digital books can support individual children’s strengths and difficulties, digital literacies, language and communication skills. Part II explores digital books created by children, their caregivers, teachers and librarians, and Kucirkova also offers insights into how smart toys, tangibles and augmented/virtual reality tools can enrich children’s reading for pleasure. How and Why to Read and Create Children's Digital Books is of interest to an international readership ranging from trainee or established teachers to MA level students and researchers, as well as designers, librarians and publishers. All are inspired to approach children’s reading on and with screens with an agentic perspective of creating and sharing. Praise for How and Why to Read and Create Children's Digital Books 'This is an exciting and innovative book – not least because it is freely available to read online but because its origins are in primary practice. The author is an accomplished storyteller, and whether you know, as yet, little about the value of digital literacy in the storymaking process, or you are an accomplished digital player, this book is full of evidence-informed ideas, explanations and inspiration.' Liz Chamberlain, Open University 'At a time when children's reading is increasingly on-screen, many teachers, parents and carers are seeking practical, straightforward guidance on how to support children's engagement with digital books. This volume, written by the leading expert on personalised e-books, is packed with app reviews, suggestions and insights from recent international research, all underpinned by careful analysis of digital book features and recognition of reading as a social and cultural practice. Providing accessible guidance on finding, choosing, sharing and creating digital books, it will be welcomed by those excited by the possibilities of enthusing children about reading in the digital age.'

Each chapter begins with a bibliographic essay that introduces the topic to the reader. The essay is designed as a starting point for further discussion and research. A list of references for each chapter is provided at the end of the chapter. These references represent sources teachers can use to conduct further research to find multiple perspectives about books.

First published in 1997. In this book the author intends to explore some of the many questions which arise as a result of increasing awareness in our society about equality issues. Can the attempt to make books for children consistent with contemporary views about equality go too far? In any case, are children really as much influenced by books and other material as some educationalists would claim? What can or should we do about the 'classics' Of the past? And are today's children's writers so much better at avoiding giving offence to minorities? How much are children affected by the kind of prejudices and preconceptions that we all grow up with but don't always succeed in acknowledging in later life?
