        We present to you a rhino that actually once circled the earth in the spaceship, an artist cat from Paris known by everyone, the adventures, and wanderlust of a tiny house, and love stories kissed by the sun... Curious? If you are looking for children's books with a universal message of hope and connectedness, we'd love the opportunity to meet with you. Inner Flower Child Books is a children's book publisher founded in California in 2012 by the creative team of author Susan Schaefer Bernardo (M.A. English Languages and Literature, Yale University) and illustrator Courtenay Fletcher (BFA Advertising/Graphic Design, Art Center College of Design). These artists and their team produce profound, touching, and humorously inspiring books that have become very successful in the US. With wittiness, humor, and intelligence — with rhymes at times — they create stories that promote children's language and social capabilities development. Partly because of that, Susan’s and Courtenay's picture books are used nationwide by schools, children's charities, therapists, and families across the United States to help children and youth heal from problems, large and small. At a time when the whole world is being hit by the trauma of a pandemic, books such as “Sun Kisses and Moon Hugs” bring children and young people a comforting message of love and connection. The colorfully illustrated and inspiring picture books contain generally assignable topics such as healing trauma, bringing people closer to living a sustainable life, and the power of creative expression — predestined to be successful worldwide. (Speaking of worldwide distribution: one of Susan’s and Courtenay's books, “The Rhino Who Swallowed The Storm” was sent to the International Space Station to orbit the planet — and was read aloud by astronaut Kate Rubins as part of the innovative “Story Time From Space” program and broadcasted! Apart from that, “The Rhino” was also promoted by former, then-incumbent First Lady Michelle Obama and present presidential candidate Joe Biden. For more information, please visit our website!). All Inner Flower Child Books titles are currently only published in the United States. Susan and Courtenay are therefore pleased to be able to offer publication and subsidiary rights on all other world markets for the first time.

        De bergdromer - een reisgenoot naar jezelf.

        by Jeannette Stockinger

        20 spirituele dialoogontmoetingen op het innerlijke pad naar de bergtop van je eigen zelf.   De bergdromer reflecteert op basisthema's als bedachtzaamheid, bewustzijn, liefde en vertrouwen.   Het leven is een magisch spel – herken jezelf erin.    "Ik wil naar de top van de berg klimmen en mezelf daarbij herkennen. Door elke ontmoeting aan de buitenkant herken ik mezelf meer aan de binnenkant, dus ik heb elke ontmoeting met andere mensen als een geschenk geaccepteerd. Ik mocht door diepe dalen lopen, genieten van de hoogten van de berg en zo het hemelse wezen en het creatieve potentieel in mij ontdekken. Ik droom van een wereld van vrede en vreugde in ieder mens. Elke dag ontwaak ik opnieuw en ontdek ik het geschenk van mijn innerlijke kracht. Ik moest eerst sterven om de illusie los te laten en mocht ontwaken in een leven van mijn eigen droom. Onze intuïtie en dromen zijn de belangrijkste elementen van een vrij leven, want hier wordt de toekomst van ieder mens gecreëerd door zelfbepaalde creativiteit.”   In de 20 dialogen met spirituele mensen die ze tegenkomt op haar weg naar de bergtop van het zelf, reflecteert de bergdromer op onderwerpen als bedachtzaamheid, bewustzijn, liefde en vertrouwen als basis voor een vrij en zelfbepaald leven. Met haar collages vergroot Jeannette Stockinger de ruimte die de allegorische teksten openen tot een dubbelzinnige kosmos van inspiratie voor de eigen reis naar het zelf.   Aan het einde van elk hoofdstuk stelt de auteur specifieke vragen "Om te bespeuren". Iedereen is uitgenodigd om na te denken over het leven en de eigen dromen.               Adem in en adem uit – neem een moment van stilte en maak contact met Moeder Aarde en Vader Hemel zodat de energie van beiden door je heen kan stromen. Heb je ooit geprobeerd om onvoorwaardelijk lief te hebben?               Wat is je grootste droom in het leven?

        Seks, drugs en rock en roll in de gouden eeuw

        by Benjamin Roberts

        In Seks, Drugs en Rock 'n' Roll in de Gouden Eeuw (‘Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll in the Golden Age’), historian Benjamin B. Roberts paints a fascinating portrait of the lives of young men int he first half of the seventeenth century. He describes the riotous behaviour of prominent figures such as Rembrandt – born in 1606 – and brings the values of his rebellious peers to life. Roberts convincingly demonstrates that young men rebelled then as they do now, and moved against previous generations. They grew out their hair, wore outrageous clothes, smoked, drank too much, got into fights with the city guards, cheated, and sang bawdy songs. This accessibly written book paints a vivid portrait of youth culture in the Golden Age; a time when the advent of printing allowed for a rapid spread of a culture of permissiveness. The spread of liberal ideas, together with the rising incomes, created a new generation of ‘bad boys’. Using hilarious examples, Roberts shows that deviant behaviour is timeless.

      • The Chagall Atlas

        by NIENKE DENEKAMP

        The Chagall Atlas follows Jewish artist Marc Chagall, whose personal and artistic life collided with world history more than once. Born in the 19th Century in anti-Semitist Czarist Russia, Chagall travelled to 20th Century Paris, where Cubism and Fauvism were about to change art forever. During World War I, he was ‘stuck’ in his hometown Vitebsk, right at the Eastern Front of a war that seamlessly merged into the Russian Revolution. Chagall could literally see the Revolution unfold from the window of his office in St. Petersburg. Chagall spent the twenties and thirties in Berlin and Paris, trying not to think about World War II that loomed over Europe. His spectacular escape from Vichy France to the US, where Chagall and his family spent the war along with other exiled artists, is a fantastic story in its own right. After the War, Chagall settled in the South of France, where he lived next door to Picasso and Matisse. But it wasn’t until later in life, against the backdrop of the Cold War and the foundation of the State of Israel, that he fully came into his own as an artist.
