***COMING SOON A NEW HBO SERIES, HIS DARK MATERIALS, BASED ON PULLMAN'S BOOKS***The modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time." Philip Pullman takes readers to a world where humans have animal familiars and where parallel universes are within reach. Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal--including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world. Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra a savage, a schemer, a liar, and as fierce and true a champion as Roger or Asriel could want. But what Lyra doesn't know is that to help one of them will be to betray the other... A masterwork of storytelling and suspense, Philip Pullman's award-winning The Golden Compass is the first in the His Dark Materials series, which continues with The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. A #1 New York Times Bestseller
Winner of the Guardian Prize for Children's Fiction

Gran guides Wren as she processes her feelings through art
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This book is a treasure on many levels. Though written for children, it would make a lovely gift for an adult walking through disappointments or questioning God.
As an aunt, I desire to be like Gran as I love, respond to, and guide the children in my life.
It can be uncomfortable to see children sit in disappointment. Yet, Gran doesn't try to rescue Wren. Rather, she guides her to process and then express her feelings through art.
Gran gives Wren judgment-free space to identity and feel her own feelings and then encourages her to express those honest feelings to God in a prayer painting.
As with Brown's adult books, this is an inviting, loving, gentle, practical, soul care book. And, as with her novels, I am somehow a participant in the book or a fly on the wall, longing for the story to continue.
The lovely illustrations bring the words to life and make me want to pick up a paintbrush myself.
Well done!

A precious book for all ages.
Format: Hardcover
I just received this beautiful book and like all of Sharon Garlough Brown’s books it touched my heart. I know and love Wren as an adult from Sharon’s novels. The artist captures young Wren perfectly. When I say this book is for all ages I found the message to be a personal blessing as I travel a season of some tough feelings. I was also reminded how important my role of Grandmother is, Please Dear Lord give me a heart like Gram’s. “Not Finished Yet” will now always be sitting out on a table in my home as a daily reassurance of God’s love of all my feelings and to provide beautiful words and artwork to share with others.
