The Power of Love


What does love mean during the Thanksgiving season?

“To love is human, the quest for peace, divine." Dr. J


The word "love" means different things to different people. The love of a child differs from the love of a pet. The love we have for going to school differs from the love of going to a sporting event. The love we have for eating dinner in a restaurant is different from the love we have from cooking our meals. The love of reading books is the love that transcends generations. The love of reading a novel expands your minds and educates the reader about the world around them.  
For Siya, love of reading a book is universal, and in the words of famous reggae singer Bob Marley, it is "One Love." That's the view that Siya has for the world. "One Love," where we all live together and be all right.
Imagine living in a world of peace, harmony, no fighting, no wars, and all the children are happy and grow up in a peaceful world. For Siya, world peace is a goal that she dreams of peace in the East, West, North, and South. 
For Siya, there is no better time to celebrate our "love" for the world than the Thanksgiving season. Thanksgiving season is when we gather with friends and family to share one love and express gratitude for all the blessings God has given us. When we share bread with families and friends, we are acknowledging that being together is better than being alone. 
There is no secret that Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and we should think about what we share with friends and family. For Siya, a turkey from one of your local stores is an option, or buying online from Amazon and have it delivered the next day is workable.
The size of the turkey is not as important as the gesture of sharing meals with your family, and Siya introduces us to her family in her first book, "The Siyabonga Story."

Eleven reasons to buy a children's book: Buying a book is the safest and secure approach to educating a child. Reading improves comprehension and listening. With a book, you don't have to worry about cyber-bullying or phishing attacks.  Your child cannot use a book to call anyone.
