“A lyrical masterpiece.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Originally performed at the Kennedy Center for the unveiling of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and later as a tribute to Walter Dean Myers, this stirring and inspirational poem is New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award finalist Jason Reynolds’s rallying cry to the young dreamers of the world. For Every One is exactly that: for every one. For every one person. For every one who has a dream. But especially for every kid. The kids who dream of being better than they are. Kids who dream of doing more than they almost dare to imagine. Kids who are like Jason Reynolds, a self-professed dreamer. Jason does not claim to know how to make dreams come true; he has, in fact, been fighting on the front line of his own battle to make his own dreams a reality. He expected to make it when he was sixteen. Then eighteen. Then twenty-five. Now, some of those expectations have been realized. But others, the most important ones, lay ahead, and a lot of them involve kids, how to inspire them: All the kids who are scared to dream, or don’t know how to dream, or don’t dare to dream because they’ve NEVER seen a dream come true. Jason wants kids to know that dreams take time. They involve countless struggles. But no matter how many times a dreamer gets beat down, the drive and the passion and the hope never fully extinguishes—because simply having the dream is the start you need, or you won’t get anywhere anyway, and that is when you have to take a leap of faith. A pitch-perfect graduation, baby, or inspirational gift for anyone who needs to me reminded of their own abilities—to dream.

All of my poems actually do come from the heart. Each one has its own little story behind it. The ones that talk about a man who was tragically killed in a car accident was my fiance. We got engaged in Dec.1976 and planned our wedding for June 18, 1977. He was killed on Valentine's Day but not discovered until the next day. The baby that was given up for adoption was my son whom I had searched for 35 years. We were reunited last year when he was able to make more progress with the system than I could. We have a beautiful relationship and I have a daughter-in-law and three more grandchildren. The abusive relationship that I was in came from the man I was married to and fathered two boys. He wasn't bad till the boys were born. I couldn't take anymore when he started to attack the boys and we left. The cover of the book reminds me of my mom and dad. Moms' name was Rose and dad liked to watch the birds in the yard. Hence, the flowers and the birds. They have since passed. So you see, each poem has a special memory for me. I put a lot of feeling in my poems. I just feel so honored to be able to express these feelings in poetic form. I hope the readers will take these to heart and feel the moment. Some of them can also give them advice. If you are in a bad relationship and it also involves children, then they need to get out before something really drastic happens. We have enough violence in this world today. People need to think about what they are doing and who they are doing it to.

For the first time as a standalone e-original novella, fall in love with two reunited loves in Anna Harrington's historical highland romance, A Match Made in Healther. She was the laird's daughter. He was nothing more than a penniless, nameless Scot with nothing to offer but his heart. Fate tore them apart, but now he's back in her life with status, money and a title. Can they let go of past hurts and find love?
