Who am I? It’s a question a lot of children seem to ask themselves, at which point being “them” simply isn’t enough. They want to be someone better. Many kids want to change their names. This is what happened to Wilma Lee Wu. One day, Wilma decides she no longer likes her name, and she sets off for the Change Your Name Store to find a new one. Once at the store, the possibilities seem endless. Mrs. Zeena McFooz, the store-owner, says that Wilma can try out any new name she wants with one catch: she must “go for a ride” to discover what it means to be that name. Will being Babette Bijou from France be better than Wilma Lee Wu? What about Dominga Delfino from Belize? Featuring an exciting story of discovery from author and humor blogger Leanne Shirtliffe (of IronicMom.com), and fun, simple illustrations by Tina Kügler, The Change Your Name Store takes children on a journey to find their true identity and to celebrate who they are—name and all. Children ages 3 to 6 will be able to relate to Wilma's search for who she really is. The book promotes diversity, which is an important topic to kids to understand at an early age, and will be a good addition to preschool classrooms and urban homes in particular. Zeena McFooz is gentle and matter-of-fact, and the tone of the book is one of exploration and celebration of our individuality. The illustrations are sure to captivate kids' attention while helping to bring this important message to life.

Breaking the code to her heart... Independent and stubbornly unmarried, Abbie Vayle has always been a little too smart for her own good. But she may have gone too far when she starts her own rare-book business--and accidentally acquires an antique book in Paris with a mysterious code scribbled in the margins.... Someone wants the book back--and is willing to kill to get it. The only trouble is, Abbie no longer has the book. It's locked away in the customs house in Dover. Now it's a race against time as Abbie stays one step ahead of her pursuers. The last person she wants to confide in is her best friend, Hugh Templar, whom she knows only as a formidable scholar who shares her passion for Roman antiquities. But as Hugh keeps turning up where she least expects him, a few things begin to dawn on her....Not only is Hugh surprisingly--in fact incredibly--handsome without his glasses on, but he's strangely "professional" in how he handles her mysterious enemies. Hugh is clearly not what he seems. And soon Abbie realizes that neither is she...as she discovers what it means to love with all her heart and soul.

Is there any advantage in a name? Many people think so, at least a strategy consultant from McKinsey says it's a big factor in who gets a hired and who does not. Whether you are surfing through pregnancy books or baby books, you might be interested in getting a baby name book because you are still contemplating a name for the child. And if you have a hunch whether it's a boy or girl before the doctors confirm, you might look at the baby boy books or baby girl books section. Fortunately, you don't have to shop for too many books for babies before reaching that perfect name for your baby. Let me introduce, Your Baby's Predestined Name, the book that departs from the traditional baby name book, where the reader is sold a bunch of names to sort through This book is the first book to bring a new and bold message that every baby already has a unique name attached to them even before birth. The book arms the curious parent, how to learn the divinely-breathe name for their child. Names that are usually new and never borne by anyone before, as opposed to the common name-backwards phenomenon, where almost everyone names new babies after others in the past. You don't need a list of 10,000 names or all the names in the bible or even two names to comb through; you only need the original name attached to that child from heaven. Your child deserves a perfect name. Your Baby's Predestined Name
