Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LANGUAGE ARTS / CREATIVE WRITING / FOLKLORE Books for Growing Minds(tm) present Why Spiders Hide in Corners (Ananse Makes It So!) as a delightful interactive folktale-drama that will engage both the reader and all whom have gathered around for the telling of this tale. Inspired by an Ananse story that had a violent end, the author's original spin on this Ananse, drum and rabbit story was first published in a Simon and Schuster Anthology of African and African American Storytelling (Talk That Talk).Summary Rabbit decides to visit his friend, Anansi, the spider-man whom he hasn't seen in quite a while. Wanting to celebrate their friendship, Rabbit invites Anansi to join him in making a drum. From his cozy hammock, Anansi refuses with excuses of being too sick to get involved with drum-making. Alone, Rabbit works hard at making his "friendship" drum. While Rabbit is resting from the day's hard work at drum-making, he soon finds Anansi playing his drum, the very same drum he was supposedly "too sick" to help make. Anansi ends up in an embarrassing situation, one that we all may come face to face with from time to time. "The students at Jasper Elementary love J'miah. (The teachers at our school find him to be a full partner in curricular planning and implementation of lessons and units.) J'miah can tell stories, write and direct plays that are performed school-wide, teach small groups and make children laugh and smile. If he had a cape, he could fly . . . at least the children think so." ~ Dr. Kathleen Thompson, Retired Arts Educator/Director of Cultural Projects (Georgia Council for the Arts) "Mr. Nabawi is one of Savannah's most visible and favored storytellers. He has been the community's choice for various festivities, with no barriers on race, ethnicity, or age. Whether it is through the Live Oak Public Libraries, The Telfair Museum, local churches, schools, universities, the leadership and service that he continues to provide through his profession is legendary here amongst Savannahians." ~Dr. Otis S. Johnson, Former Mayor of Savannah, GA

Book excerpt: LANGUAGE ARTS / CREATIVE WRITING / FOLKLORE Books for Growing Minds(tm) present Why Spiders Hide in Corners (Anansi Makes It So!), a delightful interactive folktale-drama that will engage both the reader and all whom have gathered around for the telling of this tale. Inspired by an Anansi story that had a violent end, this is the author's original spin of an Anansi, Drum and Rabbit folktale that he initially had written for a Simon and Schuster Anthology of African and African American Storytelling (Talk That Talk). Graphic Artist Tasica Singleton's bold line illustrations beautifully and accurately communicate the vision J'miah had for casting Anansi the Spider-Man and family with the kind of graphic art that would display Anansi's (also spelled Ananse) cultural origins of Kente cloth and Adinkra (positive symbolism). And Anansi is quite handsome too! Why Spiders Hide in Corners can now be enjoyed in four major world languages: English, French, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. Why Spiders Hide in Corners continues with our mission to publish folktales, stories and authors who promote and perpetuate "oral literature" that encourages family time, wellness and meaningful play through the art of storytelling. Why Spiders Hide in Corners (Anansi Makes It So!)is a "let's do" story that promises to be fun for all.

Book excerpt: LANGUAGE ARTS / CREATIVE WRITING / FOLKLORE Books for Growing Minds(tm) present For the Anansi Spider Reader: Why Spiders Hide in Corners (Ananse Makes It So!). Our first edition in this Ananse (Anansi) the Spider series, this is a delightful interactive folktale-drama that will engage both the reader and all whom have gathered around for the telling of this tale. Inspired by an Ananse story Mr. Nabawi had heard during a Teen Self Discovery Summer Camp at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, the story's machete-wielding rabbit that wanted revenge on a spider gets spun into an original Ananse, Drum and Rabbit tale that starts as a celebration of friendship and ends with embarrassed spiders hiding their faces in the corners way above the rafters of a barn. ("We see enough violence in so many aspects of our lives and so I took another path" says Nabawi.) Why Spiders Hide in Corners was initially written by the author and first published in a Simon and Schuster Anthology of African and African American Storytelling (Talk That Talk). Published here in black and white on white paper, you may also find Why Spiders Hide in Corners (Ananse Makes It So!) as our second edition which is in color (NOTES pages section) on white paper, same story, different book cover ($12.17). Summary Rabbit decides to visit his friend, Anansi, the spider-man whom he hasn't seen in quite a while. Wanting to celebrate their friendship, Rabbit invites Anansi to join him in making a drum. From his cozy hammock, Anansi refuses with excuses of being too sick to get involved with drum-making. Alone, Rabbit works hard at making his "friendship" drum. While Rabbit is resting from the day's hard work at drum-making, he soon finds Anansi playing his drum, the very same drum he was supposedly "too sick" to help make.

Johnson, Former Mayor of Savannah, GA "This brother is a force. He doesn't just tell a story, he sings it, dances it and paints a picture that brings the past to the present, lighting a way for our future. 'Why Spiders Hide in Corners' (Ananse Makes It So!) is just like his storytelling, meaningful and fun!" ~ Best-selling author, Bertice Berry, PhD.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular blog The Monsters Know What They’re Doing comes a compilation of villainous battle plans for Dungeon Masters. In the course of a Dungeons & Dragons game, a Dungeon Master has to make one decision after another in response to player behavior—and the better the players, the more unpredictable their behavior! It’s easy for even an experienced DM to get bogged down in on-the-spot decision-making or to let combat devolve into a boring slugfest, with enemies running directly at the player characters and biting, bashing, and slashing away. In The Monsters Know What They’re Doing, Keith Ammann lightens the DM’s burden by helping you understand your monsters’ abilities and develop battle plans before your fifth edition D&D game session begins. Just as soldiers don’t whip out their field manuals for the first time when they’re already under fire, a DM shouldn’t wait until the PCs have just encountered a dozen bullywugs to figure out how they advance, fight, and retreat. Easy to read and apply, The Monsters Know What They're Doing is essential reading for every DM.

Mama Linda Goss would eventually mentor J'miah onto the path of professional performance storytelling for which he is known today. His upbeat brand of storytelling reflects the story-dance-musical drama of Africa and its Diaspora. Bilingual in Spanish and a polyglot of sorts, J'miah also tell stories from around the world and is known to incorporate vocabulary, songs and text in the languages of Twi, Spanish, French, Chinese, Yoruba, Japanese and Ki-Swahili.J'miah's artistic involvement with children and youth in under-served rural and urban areas has been recognized with Proclamations / Citations from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in Harrisburg, PA and by the City of Miami (Miami Dade City Council), Miami, FL. J'miah is also an esteemed recipient of the National Storytelling Network's "ORACLE Award for Outstanding Service and Leadership, Southeast Region" for his "exemplary leadership to his community through storytelling."~ The Elijah Agency"J'miah's work passes on tradition, teaches language, and helps develop a love of storytelling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brown recluse is a fascinating spider very well adapted to dwelling in houses and other buildings. Because of this very quality and the ghastly reputation associated with the medical consequences of its bite, it has become infamous throughout North America. Although recluse spiders can cause serious skin injuries and, in very rare cases, death, the danger posed by this spider is often exaggerated as a result of arachnophobia and the misdiagnosis of non-spider-related conditions as brown recluse bites. These misdiagnoses often occur in areas of North America where the spider does not exist, making legitimate bites improbable. One of the greatest factors that keeps the myths alive is misidentification of common (and harmless) spiders as brown recluses. With this book, Richard S. Vetter hopes to educate readers regarding the biology of the spider and medical aspects of its bites, to reduce the incidence of misdiagnoses, and to quell misplaced anxiety. In The Brown Recluse Spider, Vetter covers topics such as taxonomy, identification, misidentification, life history characteristics and biology, medical aspects of envenomations, medical conditions misdiagnosed as brown recluse bites, other spider species of medical consideration (several of which have been wrongly implicated as threats to human health), and the psychology behind the entrenched reasons why people believe so deeply in the presence of the spider in the face of strong, contradictory information. Vetter also makes recommendations for control of the spider for households in areas where the spiders are found and describes other species of recluse spiders in North America. Although The Brown Recluse Spider was written for a general audience, it is also a valuable source of information for arachnologists and medical personnel.
