The Growing Spirit is a metamorphosis of change throughout our lifetime personified in a cocoon's eyes. A journey to be taken as a tiny web of thread, her cocoon,  stuck upon an apple tree branch. As she ponders life and all of the growing things around her; she feels taken by the wonders and sights of life flourishing and changing all around. Yet, because she sees no change within her “cocoon”, as a soul protecting the spirit, she feels her life stagnated. The journey throughout the book exemplifies how judgements over others or judgements within our own self. The emotional roller coasters as we grow inside our body and soul are created through her cocoon. There is a giant Growing Spirit within us All. God bless, and listen to the quiet voice of reasoning. To feel is to deal and heal upon the Eternal Grace of God.

About the Author

Born in Fullerton, California, moving then to Herndon Va, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and having family scattered from New England to the Carolinas; I am well traveled and highly adaptive. Certified in education as an Art Historian, Art Educator and Artist, I have been learning for decades. The love of music, nature, oceans and warm sunshine as the gardens in my life grow, are everlasting. A volunteer in Hospice and Homeless, I spread my care and faith to all. I am a creature of creation and imagination. I hold deep faith in God and must give these gifts of exploration of spirit, faith, storytelling and reflection to all who yearn for growing in love and trust. Being married, and having three children, as a mother since 1999, I had patience yesterday. From ducks to dogs and cats, chinchillas, hamsters, fish what more? The passion to have animals in my life to listen and learn from them in order to create these books are bountiful blessings I honor daily.

Enjoy, God bless..Parsippany Bea

About the Illustrator

I have always loved reading above all other things one could enjoy. I listen to audiobooks while drawing, painting, sewing, quilting and crafting. Creative thinking and learning how to play piano while creating illustrations helps relax my mind. My favorite projects are those I am working on at the moment in time. I studied Commercial Art at the Institute of Pittsburgh. Creating many multi-faceted projects gives me a constant ability to change as I continue life's path. They all give me joy and wonder, as I find my way exploring through a variety of fiber arts or visual arts. By adding colors and creating images, I find myself analyzing each step of the process and finding a new way or different style each time a piece is made. I live in Pennsylvania with my loving husband Joe. I also have one daughter. Our daughter Amanda is a blessing to our family.

This one's in color
Format: Paperback
This book was glorious. It presented the invasion vividly. The Allied forces sure kicked Rommel's butt, and although the American forces had many casualties, the Germans were defeated. After the Allies liberated France, people revealed hidden Tri-Color French flags. I was interested to learn about the problem of French hedgerows and how an American sargent (Curtis Cullin) improvised a brush-cutter out of the beach barricades in order to leave the tanks less vulnerable as they crossed the fields. Thank you Curtis! The book also talked about a German tank commander named Michael Wittmann and his Tiger tank. This was a powerful weapon that destroyed a group of Shermans very quickly and then took out part of a convoy. The allies finished him off by using British Fireflies (a British type of tank) that sent a disabling shot into the tank. Michael Wittman and his crew escaped. There was good tank action in this book. It feels like you're stuck in the middle of battle, but you're safe. But you're watching in horror. The drawings of the Avro Lancasters were really great. That's my favorite British plane. The air war made the difference in the invasion's success. If it weren't for the RAF and the Allied air forces, the invasion might not have succeeded. I'm eleven years old, and this is a really good book. I learned a lot. This book had really good maps, and it was in color. That helped me a lot. The blood was not too bloody -- just scribbles. Parent note: my son says blood and guts included.

Great read for a WWII enthusiast
Format: Paperback
Purchased for my nephew who is 11 and a WWII aficionado, "Bombing Nazi Germany" and "Normandy" did not disappoint. While I got him the graphic novels because he is a visual kid, he really enjoyed the text. Which is good because there is a lot of text. I am an avid reader of graphic novels and found these books to be more text-driven than much of what I've read. That said, the prose is solid, unadorned, and moves the narrative smoothly from pane to pane. I recommend this for anyone fascinated by war histories who also values detailed illustrations of the same.

I wish my Dad had lived long enough to have this given to him!
Format: Paperback
As I said for Mr. Vansant's Gettysburg graphic novel, this is perhaps the best visual description of all of the planning, logistics, and follow-up battles that gave the Allies their second front, and began the march to Berlin, and the eventual downfall of Hitler's Thousand Year Plan. I have studied War History for as long as I can remember - focusing mostly of the American Civil War, World War 2, and Vietnam; three of the United States' greatest turning points in warfare - but my Dad and I shared a huge interest in WW2, watching as many documentaries on it as we could. What most people do not know about the importance of the war is that it is one of the few times that most of the world was not only involved either directly or indirectly, but also it is one that everyone - and I mean everyone, from the footsoldiers, leaders, and civilians - knew exactly why and what they were fighting for. While it seems odd to refer to events so brutal as noble, that is the best way to describe World War 2, since most of the world was involved in it, and why.

10-year-old grandson loves this book
Format: Paperback
I bought this for my grandson who is very interested in World War II. He has just turned 10. He loves the book. It seems to be the perfect balance between text and pictures. He will learn about the experiences of his great grandparents while learning to read at the same time.

A+
Thought it did a really good job framing the big picture, as well as showing some of the nitty gritty details of the fighting that took place. Even though I thought I already knew a lot about D-Day, I still learned some things along the way. Note: although I do most of my reading on my Kindle Paperwhite, I read this on my iPad Kindle app instead. I don't expect the graphics to come off too well on a non-tablet Kindle so did not even download it there.
