'Good Manners Never Go Out Of Style'

While most of what's in this book may seem to most to be nothing more then simple common sense and polite manners, sadly in today's impersonal society these most basic of skills and knowledge are becoming lost. The simple thing like 'please' and 'thank you' never go out of style, and no matter what anyone said, it is never cool to be rude.

50 Things Every Young Lady Should Know is a guide book that reminds us all that the simple acts of kindness and courteous manners are worth more then money can buy. This is the kind of book that belongs in every home, teaching young ladies social skills that they can't learn in schools, and may not be learning at home, skills that are simple, practical and will serve them their whole lives.

The Tallest of Smalls

The Tallest of Smalls by Max Lucado,

illustrated by Maria Monescillo

You're As Tall As You Believe You Are!

Ollie is a Too Small of Stiltsville. Only the special in Stiltsville are chosen to walk about on tall stilts, but Ollie was not special, or clever, or funny, or cool. So for a long time Ollie felt unwanted, unworthy and unhappy. One day, however, Ollie was chosen to own stilts, and it was the happiest day of his life. That is until he tried to walk on the silts. When he fell none of the other stilt walkers were there for him, but someone else was. Ollie learnt that it doesn't matter how tall you are, all that matters is being yourself.

The Tallest of Smalls is a charming children's story of acceptance and of belief in oneself. It is also a story of Jesus and faith, but no matter if you believe in several gods, or one god, or in no gods, the message in this story is one everyone can appreciate. The story is one that both girls and boys will enjoy and teaches that you are special because you are who you are.

The Tallest of Smalls is a parable from Max Lucado's novel Fearless . The rhyming story is captivating, creating a lovely flow to the story that children will enjoy. Equally enjoyable are the beautiful and bright illustrations that compliment this fun and poignant story.
