    Once upon a time, in a mouse community in the heart of the forest, there arose a concern that echoed through the tiny homes and burrows. The mice were troubled by the stealthy and elusive cat that prowled in the shadows, posing a constant threat to their safety. 
    After a heated discussion during a community gathering, the mice realized they needed a way to be warned of the cat's approach. In their quest for a solution, a wise old mouse named Simon proposed an idea that garnered much attention—a bell should be placed around the cat's neck. This way, the tinkling sound would serve as an early warning, giving the mice ample time to scamper to safety. 
    Excitement filled the air as the mice embraced Simon's suggestion. However, as the discussion progressed, a practical concern arose. Who would bell the cat? The thought of approaching the stealthy feline to attach a bell seemed daunting and perilous. 
    The bravest and most agile mouse in the community, a young and spirited rodent named Oliver, volunteered for the daunting task. The other mice, relieved to have a courageous soul among them, applauded Oliver's bravery.

    The Mindful Body: Hakomi Approach to Emotional Well-Being and Personal Growth is a transformative guide to the profound healing potential of mindfulness-based somatic therapy. Grounded in the pioneering Hakomi Method, this book offers a compassionate and experiential path to emotional clarity, personal insight, and lasting change. 
    Through eleven insightful chapters, readers are gently introduced to the foundational concepts of core beliefs and the central principles that define Hakomi, nonviolence, mindfulness, unity, and organicity. The book then transitions into the practical application of the method, illuminating how the body holds emotional truths and how gentle, present-moment awareness can unlock deep self-understanding. 
    The Mindful Body speaks to therapists and seekers alike, covering topics ranging from working with emotional states and the inner child to embracing resistance as hidden wisdom and fostering transformative healing relationships. It also explores how mindfulness can catalyze personal transformation, meet unmet developmental needs, and support integration beyond the therapy room. 
    Accessible, insightful, and deeply human, this book is both a map and a mirror, offering a thoughtful synthesis of theory and practice for anyone interested in embodied healing, mindfulness, and personal growth. Whether you're a mental health professional or a curious explorer of the self, The Mindful Body is a wise and compassionate companion on the journey toward wholeness.

    Rosanne Parry, acclaimed author of A Wolf Called Wander and Heart of a Shepherd, shines a light on Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest in the 1920s, a time of critical cultural upheaval. 
     
     
     
    Pearl has always dreamed of hunting whales, just like her father. Of taking to the sea in their eight-man canoe, standing at the prow with a harpoon, and waiting for a whale to lift its barnacle-speckled head as it offers its life for the life of the tribe. But now that can never be. Pearl's father was lost on the last hunt, and the whales hide from the great steam-powered ships carrying harpoon cannons, which harvest not one but dozens of whales from the ocean. With the whales gone, Pearl's people, the Makah, struggle to survive as Pearl searches for ways to preserve their stories and skills.
