Every child dreams of fanciful adventures and happily ever after endings, but often, real life takes us on a whole other journey. Written in fairytale fashion, this reality-based grownup tale is the true-life adventure of Jill Elizabeth Wyckoff. At times both shocking and heartbreaking, she openly shares her heart in this very candid journey of her backpack moments-the defining circumstances that negatively shaped her self-image and self worth; to the life-changing encounter with the kindhearted King who awakens her spirituality and reveals her true identity. Fully empowered, she sets out on a new journey and begins to experience the reality of living in the fullness of who she was created and destined to be. This inspiring story of revelation, transformation and redemption offers wonderful insights that will launch readers into their own adventure of self-discovery and spiritual awareness; a journey that begins with identifying the lies in their backpacks, to a revelation of their true identity, and finally to living in alignment with this truth-a life of freedom, purpose and destiny!

A Mummy In Her Backpack / Una Momia En Su Mochila

RRP $19.95

Flor enjoyed her two-week trip to Mexico, though she's glad to be back at school. But when she tries to pull her homework out of her backpack, she's shocked to feel a cold hand clutching hers. Thinking that the pesky boys in her class are playing a trick on her, she turns around to look into her pack. She's even more stunned when she sees two yellow eyes peeking out at her.

Flor and her best friend Lupita stare in astonishment as a cowboy hat, followed by a small man with dark yellow skin and thin, stringy hair, emerges from her backpack. He introduces himself as Rafa, a mummy from the famous museum in Guanajuato. Flor visited the museum and learned that some people buried there mummified naturally. She can't believe that an actual mummy hitched a ride with her to the United States!

Amusing hijinks ensue as the girls try to hide Rafa from their teacher, classmates and family. And when Rafa realizes that it's almost the Day of the Dead, or El Dia de los Muertos, he longs to return home. The girls are forced to reveal their secret and seek help from an adult. How can they get Rafa home in time for the annual celebration honoring deceased loved ones? Published in a bilingual "flip" format, young readers ages 8 to 12 will savor this entertaining story about mummies, friendship and responsibility.
