Review\n★★★★★ Review by Literary Titan\n"My Awareness Book is a practical guide for children that teaches them how to manage the big emotions in their life. This educational picture book starts out with the lines "We all make our own choices in life, / Sometimes big, sometimes small. / Think positive and smile, / It's your life and your call." This sets the tone for this book and lets readers know life is about making choices and it is up to you to decide what the correct choice for you is. There are several examples such as making mistakes and owning up to them, learning to speak in a positive manner, and not being afraid to show emotions. These topics are hard to conceptualize for children and this thought-provoking book will help introduce them and provides an opportunity for further discussion.\n"Author Diana Smith uses simple but effective prose to share her meaningful message. The struggle to grow emotionally and learn to regulate one's emotions is challenging, especially for young children. This book takes the lessons parents try to instill in their children and presents it in a way that is engaging and relatable. The extraordinary illustrations by Sarah Jane Marchant will fascinate young children with their cute characters and vibrant colors.

The combination of engaging prose and captivating illustrations make for an illuminating picture book to be read again and again.\n"My Awareness Book is a terrific read for children, parents and teachers.

"Because he was so tiny and because he played with such cheerful gusto, he was the darling of the galleryites. . . . They were the forerunners of Arnie's Army, although they had no name. . . . Maybe they might have been known as Bobby's Brigade." -Arthur Daley, New York Times, November 8, 1967 In the winter months of the 1920s and 1930s, golf pros had to find a way to earn a living. In 1926, the Los Angeles Open offered an unheard-of $10,000 purse. This started the Golden Journey, which ultimately led to the tour we know today. Pros packed for five months. As well as clothes and golf clubs, they packed extra shafts and club heads so they could make repairs as needed, since wooden-shafted clubs broke easily. There was no going back once the journey began.Bobby Cruickshank was one of the pros who had to be their own promoters. Sometimes tournaments sprang up unexpectedly in which they played for the gate. Tommy Armour said there was no purse too small for a golf pro. Three wives, Nellie Cruickshank, Estelle Armour, and Jo Espinosa, are credited with starting the concept of a logical tour. Most of the pros traveled on the same trains, stayed in the same hotels, and spent their leisure time together. Wee Bobby Cruickshank tells the story of what those days were really like.
