I Love You Like Sunshine

I Love Your Like Sunshine is two books in one, a book for babies and a book for parents. It's a baby book, to read with newborns who will look with fascination at the beautiful baby pictures and delight in listening to their parents reciting a poem of love and wonder. It is also a book for parents, full of practical advice based the latest research on brain development, as well as Dr. Glusman's experience during two decades as a pediatrician and a mom. Her take-home point is: You don't need expensive gadgets or programs to help your baby's brain grow, and it shouldn't be difficult or stressful. All you have to do is talk, sing, read, cuddle, and play together as much as possible.

"Don't scold me, Livy—let me pay my due homage to your worth; let me honor you above all women; let me love you with a love that knows no doubt, no question—for you are my world, my life, my pride, my all of earth that is worth the having." These are the words of Samuel Clemens in love. Playful and reverential, jubilant and despondent, they are filled with tributes to his fiancée Olivia Langdon and with promises faithfully kept during a thirty-four-year marriage. The 188 superbly edited letters gathered here show Samuel Clemens having few idle moments in 1869. When he was not relentlessly "banged about from town to town" on the lecture circuit or busily revising The Innocents Abroad, the book that would make his reputation, he was writing impassioned letters to Olivia. These letters, the longest he ever wrote, make up the bulk of his correspondence for the year and are filled with his acute wit and dazzling language. This latest volume of Mark Twain's Letters captures Clemens on the verge of becoming the celebrity and family man he craved to be. This volume has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and by a major donation to the Friends of The Bancroft Library from the Pareto Fund.

The PenRose Poems: Volume I is the first volume in a series of poetry books. These books are a collection of poems by various authors

A poem is an art form that provides a unique manner in which to express one’s emotions or to tell a story. This collection of poems, Poetry As You Like It, masterfully portrays numerous artistic themes found in within the human existence. It is not another boring book of poems similar to required reading for high school English, nor the predictable nursery rhymes of early childhood. William Gay paints pictures describing the perils of love and romance, the gloriousness of beauty, and the wonder of nature. He then transitions to the concepts of family, the meaningless of life without love, and the trials and tribulations of finding joy in fleeting moments. In addition, faith is acknowledged to be part of man’s everyday nourishment in life. Messages of listening to your faith illustrate to readers they must remain aware of the beauty in life and living in God’s image. Gay then provides a lighter humorous look at life as he debates on the actions of the young versus the old, the art of wooing, and the rollercoaster of emotions that life brings. A more serious tone is introduced as he ponders more intellectual thoughts, such as the evolution of man, the building of civilizations, and the actions of man in life. The final four historical selections focus attention on the epic adventures of man throughout history. The last poem in this collection gives direction for future generations, who should always be striving for the good of all mankind.
