City of light Publishing. publishes gifts that are cleverly disguised as books. The beautiful books offer something special for everyone on a holiday gift list. Including David and Charlie. Would you take a look at the list below and let me know which books you think they would enjoy and why.
At the Intersection of Art and Ancestry – Recommended for your aunt who spent the entire lockdown cleaning out the attic and going through all those family photos. This gift book is what we would all do with our family albums if we were mixed media artists. Kindle Edition
A Kindness Remembered: A Fable –
Don’t we all need a bit more kindness these days? This endearing picture book will show your favorite nephew or grand-niece how a single act of kindness can change a life forever. Kindle Edition
A Storyteller’s Guide to Travel and Photography – I miss traveling. You miss traveling. This extraordinarily beautiful book (that has won more than two dozen awards for travel writing and photography) is for that person on your list who misses getting on a plane and exploring the farthest reaches of the planet.
This book is almost like being there. And every purchase benefits the Innocent Eyes Foundation which supports education for young women in Africa.
The Alekizou and His Terrible Library Plot! –
Reads like Dr. Seuss and inspires youngsters to learn to read. Does it get better than that? Give this beautifully illustrated tale to any three- to six-year-old and then sit and read it to them.
You will both laugh out loud when the Alekizou gobbles up all the vowels from the books in the library, and you will both learn American Sign Language for A, E, I, O, U (and sometimes Y). Too much fun! Kindle Edition
Intern Talk: A Guide to Walking the Walk –
Is there a serious student on your list? This compact tome is a career coach and advisor disguised as a book–the perfect gift for high school seniors and college students embarking upon the rest of their lives.
Give them a leg up — give them Intern Talk! It will set them on a course to success, however, they might define it. Kindle Edition
Willy and Lilly’s Adventures with Weather –
Some kids seem to be born science nerds. As we grapple with climate change, understanding weather concepts at a very young age becomes more critical every day.
Willy and Lilly make understanding the basics of Weather and the Seasons accessible and fun for all kids, especially budding young Scientists. Kindle Edition
At First Light: Poems & Photography –
What to get for that dear friend who rises at dawn and is happiest wandering through the woods? Outdoor folks are notoriously minimalist.
At First Light will feed their soul day after day, year after year. Just as the late winter sun eases up the Winter Ice, the Poems and Photographs in At First Light will start their day with a warm glow for many seasons to come.
A wordless picture book? Rather than tell the child the story, Treasure in the Trunk instead invites children to create their own story (in any language) as they turn the pages and discover the treasure in the trunk. Delightful for any child, but perfect for a multilingual family or a child mastering a second language. Kindle Edition
The Monster in My Basement – For your favorite little monster!
This whimsical song transformed into a heartwarming picture book about friendship and first impressions will delight, reading after reading. And you can even sing it! Dave, who finds Howard in his basement, is destined to become a member of the family. Kindle Edition
This is the perfect bedtime story for the little one on your list who has a tough time with lights out at bedtime. Soothing and calming, it sets the tone for a happy and thankful evening routine for children and parents alike. We all need a My Little Light in our lives!
