New Releases by Warren Hanson

Mrs. Jolly Bones goes through the week, doing chores in her unique way.

We all have something inside that guides and inspires us, that helps us to know right from wrong, and that shows us the way to go when we have lost our way. We may call it conscience, or maybe a moral compass, a power much greater than ourselves. Or we may simply see it as the steeple, rising up above the chaos of our lives, showing us the way home. With this short but powerful book, author and photographer, Warren Hanson shows us that no matter how complicated our lives may get, we will always have a steeple as our guide.

A simple but profound message that reminds readers to put all things in perspective and that ultimately what really matters is love.

A message of hope and gift of compassions for the bereaved, now avalable in Spanish. "The Next Place" is above all a celebration of life. Exquisite color illustrations guide readers throught the verse. More than 400,000 copies sold.

Imagine going to your mailbox today and finding a letter. The handwriting is curiously familiar. It is a letter from you, to you, written at a very different time of your life, either many years in the past, or many years in the future. Dear Me is a collection of those letters, written between the younger you and the older you. In these letters, you will surely see the you that you used to be, and the you that you may become one day.

Soothing text takes the reader on a bedtime journey across a peaceful and beautiful sea to sleep.

Ride along as a traveler finds himself in a small town caf Be touched by the people around him as their stories unfold.

A Message encouraging readers to celebrate both the hoped for and unexpected events, whatever they may be. This book is for anyone who has asked the question "Why?" and who boldly looks with hope and confidence to the future knowing everything really does happen for a reason.

I was strollin’ on home through the woods the other night, When I saw something a-flashin''—it was shining mighty bright! It was blinkin'' and a-winkin'' near the bottom of a tree, So I scurried on over just to see what I could see. On his way home, a little boy happens upon a magical door to a tiny bugtown where termites play the trumpet, centipedes dance, and the Queen Bee announces that everyone in her kingdom should "Boogie down!" Warren Hanson''s rhyming, rhythmic read-aloud, filled with bug sounds and dance moves, jives with Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher''s rockin'' art for jammin'' insect adventure.

A little boy compares himself to his great big grandpa and gives some of the reasons why he loves him.

It isn''t easy being a single parent, and it isn''t easy being the kid of a single parent, either. Laughter and special moments balance anger and frustration, new dreams replace old, but always there is a commitment of doing one''s best and loving forever.

Every day our lives are filed with opportunities to begin anew. A wedding. A birth. A graduation. A new job. Retirement. Starting a diet. Stopping smoking. Beginning is a wonderful gift of encouragement, hope, and congratulations.

A story that sings the song of everyday devotion, the music of an imperfectly perfect union. Celebrate the joy of a love that has blended into a custom and golden relationship.

An inspirational verse about the peace and perfection of the afterlife.
