Grace Grows Up
Mother Nature’s First Day is a whimsical Children's fiction fairy tale and mythology that shares Grace's (Mother Nature 2.0) earlier days before she took on that role as Mother Nature, and how she learned about the world through her powerful family. Who is Mother Nature, really? And how did she become so wise?

(formerly Gwen Grows Up...) While we are in the throes of a worldwide pandemic, many ask the question: “Is this Mother Nature’s way of teaching us a lesson?”
And it may be.
"Mother Nature's First Day: Grace Grows Up" is a fairy tale inspired by myth and mythology, which shows up in some of the characters and their names. The book shares Mother Nature’s "story", as well as the challenges of our planet and the the ones WE have given Mother Nature, and points to how fragile this world really is. We are ALL responsible for taking care of her, plus loving each other as well as all the wildlife and natural world.
It is also a "Coming of Age" story since young Mother Nature (version 2.0) wants to grow up NOW, as most adolescents do! She is anxious to "play her part," even though she is unsure of what that means- and of herself. All she hears is "when the time comes," but that causes Grace frustration since TIME is so confusing to her!
She learns skills and wisdom through her Mother (the Original Mother Nature!) and her four Uncles: Neptune, Gaia, Sky and Fire, and with their wisdom comes confidence to fulfill her role. She also learns from her VERY powerful Father!
When Transition Day finally arrives, the day she takes on the full responsibility of caretaking our planet, our heroine finds out how challenging her new position really is. She realizes that the timing is not by chance. Is she ready? Is she capable? Confident?
Grace's Story uses language that is well suited for an eight year old to late teenage reader, but is also a wonderful and heartfelt introduction for younger children to understand these ideas when read by an adult or teen. Most readers will fully understand that this planet is ours to cherish-or to destroy...
8-17 years old, young enough to enjoy fantasy and fairy tales, yet old enough to understand some of the real problems in today's world.
I am an author of four books, mostly non-fiction, and this is my first work of creative fiction.
I have lived my life in Faith and believe in a Universal spirit which touches us all. This book came to me as an inspiration, and I wrote a short story which expanded to become this book, which literally poured from my fingers.
The time is right for people to know that the world is much bigger than ourselves, and if we do not take care of our planet, Mother Nature will throw water on us to wake us up.
Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org. Alli's "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies is an invaluable resource.
How can we serve you today?
Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner

Ingram is a rather large company with several different divisions and supplies books to bookstores and libraries in over 200 countries around the world. Ingram also has a print on demand digital printing company, Lightning Source. IngramSpark is the platform that combines those two services together. At IngramSpark, we work with authors and independent publishers to print their books for orders they need (no minimum order) and we have a way to list the books as available for sale to all of Ingram’s 39,000+ customers- distributors, bookstores, retail outlets, libraries, etc., so you never miss a sale. You would provide us with the print-ready digital files (one for the cover and one for the interior) and we print the books as they are sold through our distribution partner’s websites. We pay you for those sales approximately 90 days later. The compensation you earn is based on the retail price you set, minus the wholesale discount you offer our distribution partners, minus the print cost.
