Books have been an amazing portal of discovery and imagination for many years.  We hope this one sparks your desire to learn more about the world, other people, and maybe even yourself. ~ Joshua and Alicia Kline

Student,

Our ability to create comes from the fact that we are made after the Creator. The Bible says, “So God created man in his own image...” Genesis 1:27 (ESV), and He created us for a purpose and to do good things that He has planned for us. It is a joy to be able to partner as you develop and demonstrate the creative nature that God has given you. Remember that you are made by the Creator and that He takes great pleasure in His creation.

Deep in the woods, there was a monkey. This monkey's name was King, and he loved to climb around trees and swing off of them. This monkey loved his family and would do anything for his mom. He also had three siblings one set of twins named Khloe and Zoey and a brother named Bris.

 let's stop talking about his personal life. King had a lot of friends, some from the east side of the jungle and some from the west. But his main friends were Chip and Tiya. He also had a partner named Bon they were both really happy together Until one day.

    King was swinging around when he heard Bon calling his name. "King! King!" Bon Shouted.

    "Yeah?" said King. They started laughing and talking until Bon's face went sad. King asked why she was sad but she declined to tell him and ran away instead. 

    When King got home he got trampled by 45 pounds of joy. His three siblings ganged-up on him. He got them off and they told him he got a note from Bon saying:

I think we should split up. 

    His face turned sad but he brushed it off and made his siblings some dinner. 

    My family was excited to see me and helped me forget about the note I got from Bon saying I think we should split up. The note had a farewell banana with it so I shared it with my siblings. I was really sad but I didn't want to show it to my siblings So I acted cool made them dinner and put them in bed then I went to bed. 

    I woke up the next day but I didn't really want to get up out of bed. There was a loud bang at the door but I rolled over and pretended not to hear it. Then there were multiple bangs and knocks, so I got up and opened the door. My friends Tiya and Chip were standing there.

Tiya asked whats wrong but I said nothing and let them in. Though I looked as if I just jumped out a dumptruck. We ate banana pizza and talked what was really annoying was how Tiya and chip asked whats wrong. King finally told them him and Bon split like a banana peel. Tiya was helping but Chip suddenly got up and left.
