Invisible She

Freeze Time Media recently worked with Moving Mountains to publish “Invisible She,” by Sheena Sade Robinson, with illustrations by Cristal Baldwin, Flying Frog Studio. The book tells the story of Sheena, who instantly goes from being the baby girl in her family to the middle child. Sheena has not one but two new adorable little siblings to contend with. And to make matters worse, her big sister doesn’t seem to have much time for her anymore. The only thing big sis seems to care about is her cell phone and Snapchat.

Sheena’s mother and father are both engulfed in caring for the twins. So much so that Sheena goes unnoticed. Even her best friend, Layla, isn’t available to play.

Sheena escapes to her treehouse. While there, she makes a wish to the fairy living inside her snow globe. Little does Sheena know, her wish will come true. The fairy offers Sheena the opportunity to become the one thing she currently loathes: Invisible. Sheena’s journey leads her to East Asia, the Caribbean, and even inside a lion’s cage.

“Invisible She” is poetically written. Young girls and boys alike will be amused by this fanciful story. It will surely become a favorite not only for children but parents as well.

George Bailey’s Got Nothing On Me

Growing up on a traveling carnival and surrounded by a host of real life Damon Runyan and O Henry characters has proven to be a truly wonderful life for Cy Holliday, author of “George Bailey’s Got Nothing on Me: A Narrative History of the Holliday Family.”

The author’s paternal grandfather, father, and mother were instrumental in providing him a firm foundation for all of life’s challenges. From Broadway to carnival midways to the Atlantic City Boardwalk, these stories speak of a simpler time, but the life lessons are as applicable today as they were in the past. Mom was a Broadway star who worked with all the big band leaders of the 1930s and ‘40s. Dad was a carnie that grew up during the depression and lived by his wits. Grandpa was a carnie and a prizefighter. They and their friends formed the basis of what became the author’s life story, and a fascinating look at a different time in our country. Covering seven generations of the Holliday family from the 1700s to today, George Bailey’s Got Nothing on Me takes the reader on a unique genealogic ride with characters that are far from perfect and certainly not “politically correct.” Filled with individual triumphs and tragedies, it is as interesting a family memoir as you are likely to find.

“George Bailey’s Got Nothing on Me” is available in print and as an e-book.
