Sherry Maysonave of the children's eBook EggManiawill be joining us today.
Unique digital books for children from 6 to 12 years, ManiaTales are designed to engage and entertain kids while providing brain enrichment, specifically cross-lateral brain hemisphere stimulation (both right and left lobe functions), which can act to increase intelligence by expanding neuronal pathways and synapse connections.
Smart stories with fun pizzazz, ManiaTales books are highly interactive, and feature fantastical original art, which expands art appreciation beyond elementary styles and cartoon art typical to digital games for kids. All ManiaTales books are characterized by extensive language development—phonetic word plays, lexical humor, and advanced vocabulary. Additionally, they are jam-packed with self-esteem boosting concepts, empowering life lessons, and fun facts from a wide array of subjects, including science, social studies, nonverbal communication, and the arts.

Emotional, Anthemic, Positive…
…is what describes Brant Pethick’s latest release, Awake! An emotionally charged collection of 11 original songs produced by award winning producer Andrew Horrocks (GMA Producer of the Year 2010/2011).
Driven with honest lyrics, Brant's songs are a unique blend of pop/rock and inspirational anthems. Awake represents being awake to spirituality, awake to love, awake to embracing what life has to offer, awake to overcoming challenges, awake to fighting for what we believe in and striving for positive change!
“Together we’ll never fall”, sings Brant, on the lead single, Only You, which represents passionately believing in someone, a song that was receiving regular airplay on radio stations coast to coast across Canada within 2 weeks of release.
Born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Brant's lyrical exploration and sensitivity compels the listener to create their own legacy in an upbeat, artistic adventure of messages that question love, life and the guidance that necessitates realism.

When Stephen Hoch graduated from high school, his dad, Tim, gave him a gift that would last a lifetime. What had started as a letter, turned into a list of life lessons that Tim wanted to share with Stephen as he went out on his own.
Tim’s advice is now a gift book, 50 Rules for Sons, that covers the serious (Like yourself because most of your life your only company is yourself), and the more playful (Don’t bring home stray kittens). It reminds young men to be strong in their convictions, but humble in life. It encourages them to do good in the world as much as they do well.
Just in time for graduation, Tim will discuss:
