The Yellow Bus Boys

I loved this book. It made me feel like a young boy was telling me about his adventures and coming of age.  I laughed and cried with him, throughout the story.  

The Book is Here

It is heartwarming, thought provoking, and helped me understand how young boys think and their ability to forgive and forget.  It's fast pace, surprising and has something for readers of all ages; glimpses into history and nostalgia for folks from that time period.  A useful tool for young students reading lists; it lets them know that no matter where you came from and what you've been through you will grow up and move beyond it all and depending on the choices you make along the way; you can aspire to be so much more.  

I am excited to introduce you to Mr. Shaw and the discoveries  and insights behind the story. He is the boy who grew up to be as inspiring, as when he was in the 6th grade.

The Head Fairy

Oceans of Discovery ...

This years Nashua, NH SummerFun program is filled with 

Oceans of Discovery 

The Wave in 2013 - will bring you to Greeley Park on 7/20/13, and from 10 am to 1 pm - the Head Fairy's adventure uncovers  the secrets of the Ocean.

Isaac Newton once said: "To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me." 

Together we will leave the beach and discover vast oceans, an enigma of calming and soothing waves, often brought in by overcoming harrowing and stormy weather, connecting us to the world around us by revealing unknown truths and triumphs  the journey begins with you & I & we ...

We will be arriving at the park at 9:45 am to be sure to get in on the excitement and catch a glimpse of  the Mermaid Giovanna, who will be leading us out to sea.  We will accept our Quest and find out all about the community that will be there to welcome us - "you and me and them will abound in oceans of discovery", it is more than probable that even our most cynical non-believer's will simply dive in to explore the possibilities.

There will be some places where we will be waiting they are usually the bouncy places or the face painting places, but we will have more than one of those places to avoid all that waiting, there will be characters to be met, princesses and those characters who know the oceans best. As we meet new friends and old, the waiting will simply drift by, as the waves gently bring us into a new panorama of opportunity and chance.  

"YOU" have the chance to show off your reading skills and as you compete in the Quest, everyone wins. And if your shy which of course we all can be from time to time, maybe just maybe you can bring yourself to get in on the action with Jr. Jazzercise and learn to swim like an exotic fish, shark or even a mer-person, (no gillyweed needed) something will be happening all around you. Of course the stage has excitement to make all the waiting simply fly by. 

"YOU," having the leading role as you always do that day, as a voyager  in an endless sea filled with over 40 places to investigate and explore and if your hot which surely July can be, you can glide through the mist and renew your thoughts to go further, to see how far your journey will take you. Even our most cynical non-believer, will be surprised at what can be found in one hundred and eighty minutes, and to think that you & I and we will see it all on Concord Street, Nashua, NH

Mark Twain once said: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – the Nashua, NH Fairy Tale Festival.
