Описание: A Good Home will delight your soul and touch your heart. There is magic in these words
--DEBRA USHER, President and Editor-in-Chief, Arabella Magazine

Cynthia Reyes glass is almost always half full, but ours, as we read her uplifting story, brims over.
--COLIN McALLISTER and JUSTIN RYAN, www.colinandjustin.tv

A Good Home is an addictive read, a profoundly emotional book about the authors early life in rural Jamaica, her move to urban North America, and her trips back home, all told through vivid descriptions of the unique homes she has lived in -- from a tiny pink house in Jamaica and a mountainside cabin near Vancouver to the historic Victorian farmhouse she lives in today, surrounded by neighbors who share spicy Malaysian noodles and seafood, Greek pastries and roast lamb, and Italian tomato sauce and wine (really strong wine).

Full of lovingly drawn characters and vividly described places, A Good Home takes the reader through deeply moving stories of marriage, children, the death of parents, and an accident that takes its high-flying author down a humbling notch. Its pages sparkle with stories and reflections on home as:

  • A foundation on which to build connections with children, relatives, and friends
  • A place to celebrate the joys of elegant design, overflowing gardens (except for the wisteria vine, which cannot be coaxed into blooming), and the sharing of good food
  • A wise teacher, showing us who we really were -- and who we really are
When this brave, clear-eyed, and honest book returns, full circle, to the way it began, readers will want to read it all over again.

Cynthia Reyes has published non-fiction stories in Arabella Magazine, one of the fastest-growing magazines in the United States and Canada, as well as in the Globe and Mail and Toronto Life. Reyes is a former journalist and executive producer with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. More than a hundred episodes of her programs have appeared on network television. She is the winner of national and international awards and acclaim for her work as a television producer, project leader, and public speaker, including the Childrens Broadcast Institute Award and the Crystal Award for Outstanding Achievement in Film and Television.

Описание:

Bestselling author Cynthia Reyes returns with Twigs in My Hair, a book about her lifelong passion for gardens and nature and the surprising relationships that emerged. Gorgeous photographs complement this humorous and profound story to create a compelling book for gardeners and non-gardeners. Readers will meet a variety of interesting creatures, both human and animal, some of whom compete for gardening produce or gardening glory.

Praise for Twigs in My Hair

"Her best book yet Cynthia's most recent memoir takes us on a journey through the various gardens of her life: the wonder, magic and miracle of her childhood gardens; the gardens she and her husband "negotiate" as a newly married couple; the apprenticeship gardens of family and community; and finally, the mature garden of acceptance. It is a journey full of insights, humour, and struggle, but ultimately, one of growth and the recognition that by nurturing our gardens we nurture ourselves." Jean Gairdner, author and lifelong gardener.

"How obstinate does a wisteria have to be before you resort to verse? How do you get a fox to pee in a bottle? Cynthia's zestful pursuit of beauty in the gardens of her life is told with her characteristic warmth, humour and honesty. Along the way we meet many friends - human and animal - and absorb her shining examples of passion, patience and, finally, grace. This is a story for our times." Dr. Hilary Custance Green, gardener and author of Border Line, a novel.

Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a complete novice, you'll see yourself somewhere in these pages, and I guarantee you'll garner some inspiration for your own gardening life." Sheryl Normandeau, master gardener and author of Little Leaves: Intensive Gardening Goes Micro.

CYNTHIA REYES, author of A Good Home, An Honest House and the children's books Myrtle the Purple Turtle, Myrtle's Game, Vertu la tortue violette (in French) and Myrtle Makes a New Friend, returns to the gardens she has loved with Twigs in My Hair - A Gardening Memoir.

A former television journalist, producer-director and executive producer with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Cynthia has also written feature stories for national and international publications.

Awards and recognition include the Trailblazer Award, the CBC President's Award, the Children's Broadcast Institute Award, a Purple Dragonfly Award, the Crystal Award for Outstanding Achievement in Film and Television, and the Diamond Award for Book of the Year. In 2016, she was inducted into the Order of Distinction - Commander Level by Jamaica, her country of birth, in recognition of her international work. Cynthia and her husband live in a small town in Ontario, Canada. They have two daughters and sons-in-law.

Описание: Myrtle is a lovely Turtle. Not an ordinary Turtle. She is Purple and different from other turtles. After being bullied by another turtle, Myrtle tries to become someone else. In the end, Myrtle and her friends help children learn to not be afraid of being different. Myrtle the Purple Turtle is a thoroughly engaging story that stresses the importance of self-acceptance and friendship.

"For those of us who want to teach the children in our lives about acceptance and friendship comes this charming tale of a purple turtle longing to be green that's perfect to pop into your beach or overnight bag for bedtime reading to little ones. When Myrtle realizes that she's not the same colour as her playmates, she tries to reinvent herself as someone different. It takes a few humorous attempts to reinvent herself and some help from her friends before she realizes that she's wonderful just as she is. Inspired by the experience of one of her own daughters, Canadian writer Cynthia Reyes has penned a story with delightful characters and an ever-important message: every one of us is different, and we're all extraordinary." - Canadian Living Magazine

"This book will be a joy to children who need to be told, again and again, that they are beautiful in the skin they're in, that the beauty of diversity is one which includes them." Andrea Torrey Balsara, author and illustrator.

"'Myrtle the Purple Turtle' is one of the most striking, original children's books released in recent years." - Annika, Goodreads

"This is a beautifully illustrated children's book, that gently encourages the young to accept that being different should be celebrated." - Sally, Goodreads

"My 3 little girls ages] 8, 4 and 2, LOVE Myrtle and her adventures towards self-acceptance. The pictures are vibrant, the story is heart-warming and this has quickly become one of our most asked for books in the house. " - Nadine, Amazon Review

"Must read for all young children." - Sue, Amazon Review

"I loved reading this book to my young daughters. It emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance in a very relatable way to young kids and it gave me the opportunity to explain the issue of bullying, friendship and staying true to oneself." - Jasmine, Amazon Review

"A story to be read over and over again." - Allie, Amazon Review

"I loved this story, and even more so, my kids loved it. It has such a powerful and relatable moral. It gave me the opportunity speak to my children about acceptance, kindness, differences in the people we see all around us and to love and respect everyone for who they are, and not how they appear. And most importantly, to love yourself just the way you are." - Julia, Facebook Review
