In this ground-breaking feature film, Author/Illustrator/Doctor Laura Koniver’s book, FROM THE GROUND UP, is featured. Yes, that’s right! One of Do Life Right’s books is in a major motion picture! You’d better believe that we are excited about this!

Laura created the beautiful artwork for her picture book during the production of the movie. Yes, this has all been in production for a long time. :)

So, what is “grounding” or “earthing” all about? Great question!

Here is Laura talking about her book, this concept, and the movie that she’s in:

I can’t imagine it being more perfect or loving it more. This time is no exception.

Our new book, What, No Sushi? is truly a special gem. What makes it amazing is that it’s based on real experiences of the author’s grandparents at a Japanese-American internment camp when they were little, all while lovingly told by the author to her three young sons (who have characters based on them in the book series).

Author Alana Terry has generously offered to donate $1 per book to the Topaz Relocation Center Museum through this link. The world needs to know about what was done to Japanese-Americans during World War II. Alana does this in a loving and approachable manner that children can understand, without freaking them out unnecessarily. It’s a fun adventure, yet also opens families up to having deep and meaningful conversations about this period in history. This, to me, is perfect.

Illustrator Jeremy Steffen has brought these characters to life through his accurate, comic-book style illustrations that complement the storytelling perfectly. Coloring pages will be available soon.

From the back cover:
“Experience Solar-Powered History!

There’s something you should know about my dad. He’s always inventing! When I asked him why Japanese Americans left their homes during World War Two, Dad decided to create the coolest invention ever. My brothers and I knew Dad’s solar-powered machine would be amazing. We just had no idea that Dad was about to send us on a breathtaking adventure through history!

Why did so many Americans of Japanese ancestry have to leave the West Coast and go to internment camps? What happened to them once they got to the relocation centers? And why does our new friend Kimiko look so familiar that I’m just sure we’ve seen her somewhere before?

Join me, Lake Otis, and my brothers, Benson and O’Malley, as we investigate these questions in What, No Sushi?: My Solar-Powered History at a Japanese-American Internment Camp, the first book in the My Solar-Powered History series!”

What, No Sushi?

It’s so popular, even Mayim Bialik says, “Thank you for adding a lovely, nurturing, normalizing, and gentle look at bedsharing in all of its cozy glory. The bedsharing community at large celebrates you!”

Here is Laura talking about this book and how much it means to her!

We immediately knew that she had to be the one to read this book! Melissa’s voice has got to be one of the best girl voices around. Her voice acting pulls you in and immerses you in the story immediately. Plus, she’s been on Monk. ;)

I’m excited to announce that Novel Concept by Teagan Bentley is now available as an audiobook read by Melissa Strom. It is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. Plus, it’s less than $4! What a deal!

With ten, yes TEN, artists involved, I kept receiving present after present of lovely illustrations as the publishing process went along. It was so fun! That’s why, when it came time to turn this adorable chapter book into an audiobook, I was super picky about finding just the right voice. We received auditions from men, women, and children for this book, and we patiently waited for just the right voice. Once we found that voice, we waited some more in order to make sure that voice really would work for the whole story. This book is a 1st person boy-voice book afterall!

We found the perfect voice in C. S. Perryess, and his Cody voice is spot-on according to the author, Linda Fields, and myself.

Cody Greene and the Rainbow Mystery can be purchased in audiobook form on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.
