What Is That Thing? Whose Stuff Is This? by John Gile
Hard Cover • Full Color
"What Is That Thing? Whose Stuff Is This? is fun to read. The drawings are clever. But what makes the book so special is that it's a manifesto for literacy... An understanding of words and an ability to use words is one of the greatest gifts that a parent can give a child."
— J. Snively, Review

Keeping First Things First by John Gile

Author's Note:
"I am a journalist by education and experience, but what I share with you on the following pages comes out of a far more important role I play in life, my role as husband and father. My hope is that you will find something of value in the experiences and reflections I share with you on these pages and, more important, that they will help you realize how much there is of value in you." —
John Gile.
