Legend has it that in the middle part of the 17th century AD, at Bonwire in Asante, two brothers from the Asona clan of Bonwire, Kuragu and Ameyaw, who were hunters and farmers by profession and hardly 20 years old, studied the way and manner, the spider (Ananse) wove its web in a forest at Bonwire-Kurankye (Ayewakeseho).

Reminds children they are loved by looking at nature!
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
This book is so great! I love how it reminds children that they are loved by simply looking at nature around them. For example: "That inviting ocean? That's me waving at you. That clap of thunder? That's me raving about you." So cute! The opening pages and closing pages show a mother & son together, but the in between pages show boys and girls. I kind of wish the cover wasn't so obviously a boy and his mom since I have a daughter, but it doesn't stop me from reading it to my kiddo. All in all, five stars! :)

Great for reading with a small child.
Format: Board book
I read this every week from Oklahoma to my great granddaughter in California. The story is perfect for our situation, the cardboard pages are easy for her to turn the pages and that makes her feel like she is participating in the ready. Beautiful pictures and well written verse. We love it.

SIMPLY A TOUCHING, LOVELY BOOK FOR ANY AGE!
Format: Hardcover
This book is beautiful in every way! It expresses the deep, unconditional love parents have for their children. The message could be beneficial for children who have lost their parents or who don't see them every day. Or, it can be a simple as...these are the ways you can remember I love you when we're separated for the day! I purchased it for my daughter who just graduated from high school. I plan to give it to her on college move-in day. Reading it brought tears to my eyes, but it has such a special meaning. BUY THIS LOVELY BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE!!!

Great gift for new moms
Format: Hardcover
We are using this book as the "card" for people to sign for a coworkers shower. It is a sweet, simple book with great visuals and empty page space for signing.
