The Children Of Gaia

"It is a time of great turbulence on the planet the elves call Gaia. Disturbing signs are abroad in the forests. The web of life that gives Gaia its pearly shine are being torn apart and destroyed. Species upon species are disappearing and the elves fear for the survival of their own people they ere created to care for. Payun charges the young elf Khoros to send a song to the farthest parts of Gaia. Far in the south of the world its tantalising strains are heard. Steve and Sarah are grappling with adolescence, with their exceptional ability to see the life behind the trees they love, and with local environmental problems against which they feel helpless. Khoros must contact these two and enlist their aid, despite the barriers of distance and dimension. Their quest takes the three friends on an adventure of body and mind, and through personal struggles as they try to fulfill their mission against seemingly insurmountable odds." (publisher).

Working up the courage to take a big, important leap is hard, but Jabari is almost absolutely ready to make a giant splash. Jabari is definitely ready to jump off the diving board. He’s finished his swimming lessons and passed his swim test, and he’s a great jumper, so he’s not scared at all. “Looks easy,” says Jabari, watching the other kids take their turns. But when his dad squeezes his hand, Jabari squeezes back. He needs to figure out what kind of special jump to do anyway, and he should probably do some stretches before climbing up onto the diving board. In a sweetly appealing tale of overcoming your fears, newcomer Gaia Cornwall captures a moment between a patient and encouraging father and a determined little boy you can’t help but root for.

A spunky, feminist take on the myth of Gaia, the Greek goddess of the Earth Long before the age of the Olympian gods, Gaia created the world in all its beauty. But from Gaia also came the Titans, who ran wild and free through this world—until her husband Ouranos turned on Gaia and declared himself the ruler of all she’d created. Her son Cronus then rose to power, but soon he too became hungry for more power—so much so that he swallowed his own children. But Gaia managed to hide the youngest son, Zeus, from Cronus. Zeus grew up and defeated Cronus and saved his brothers and sisters. Gaia thought this would be the end of all the needless war, but Zeus was not satisfied—he swore to rid the world of anyone who challenged his power. Gaia was furious. She wanted no part in the world of Zeus. She would not fight his destruction with more destruction. It might be too late for Zeus, but it wasn’t too late for the mortals—or for the earth itself. Follow the goddess of earth through her struggles with gods and mortals as she discovers her strength and eventually finds the peace she has always longed for. Tales of Great Goddesses are graphic novels that bring the stories of some of the most powerful and fascinating mythical goddesses to life!

And the Claw That Protects It The next in the revised Tribebook series examines the Children of Gaia -- the werewolves that strive to heal as well as kill, protect as well as destroy. This expanded and revised edition outlines all the strengths and weaknesses of the tribe, from their vast healing powers to the conflict between their desire for peace and the instincts that drive them to hunt and slay.
