Review This Product
This is the story of the Báb, a young Siyyid Who lived in Persia in the nineteenth century. The beauty and purity of His short life shine out amid the dark corruption of the times. When He said that He was the Promised One Who had come to renew religion and prepare the way for One greater than Himself Whose teachings would bring peace to the world, His message spread like wildfire across the land, awakening the hearts of people everywhere.
The appearance of the Báb was like the sun rising above the horizon at dawn, heralding the beginning of a new day in the history of mankind. It was a time of great excitement, heroic deeds, and a new outpouring of love into the world. This beautifully illustrated history will appeal to readers of all ages.

An enhanced ebook with embedded video clips!
Warrior Grandma: The Story of Patricia Locke by Littlebrave Beaston is the latest title in the Change Maker series. Patricia Locke—whose Lakota name, Thawáchin Wašté Win, means “Compassionate Woman”—courageously fought for the equality of Indigenous people in the United States and around the world. She was not only a staunch advocate for the rights of Indigenous people but a loving mother and grandmother.
This book teaches the values of generosity, selflessness, and the importance of building strong family relationships. Readers will learn about how prejudice affects American Indians and how Patricia advocated for equal rights for Indigenous people during her lifetime. The book also discusses the qualities of leadership, the principle of consultation, and the importance of courage and perseverance in the face of oppression and attempted assimilation. Patricia acted as a bridge between two cultures—white and Indigenous—and, even in the face of overwhelming difficulties, she always demonstrated compassion toward others. She embodied the qualities of a true Change Maker.
*Please note: embedded video clips will be streaming from YouTube. Some buffering may occur. Videos can also be viewed directly on the BahaiBookstore YouTube channel.

Not only has she lost her grandmother, and beloved cat Abbey unexpectedly, she's grieving the recent loss of her best friend Charlotte.

She only met Willow, a new student, earlier that day when "buddied" by the Year 10 Coordinator! A contemporary novella for junior youth (11-15) about coping with grief, the power of friendship, and exploring one of life's big questions - What happens when we die? Written to encourage young people to explore their own beliefs about the afterlife touching on near-death experiences, reincarnation, guardian angels, communicating with the departed, and the Baha'i Faith's perspective.
