"Mr. Froggy’s Dilemma" is a children’s true story about a frog badly in need of rescuing. As the reader will discover, Mr. Froggy got into trouble over his head as well as too big for his flippers. Perhaps in some ways we have all been there at one time or another. This story appeals to a child about seven to eleven years of age who is inquisitive about the natural environment. But, it may also be enjoyable to an adult who likes to read with children and who has had a similar surprise encounter with one of Mother Nature’s creatures, like getting slightly pinched by one on the beach during a casual stroll. Mr. Froggy’s Dilemma invites the young reader to answer some questions and to conduct outside research to augment the tale. If an adult is reading with the child, the story provides interactive windows of opportunity to explore science, climate change, and the environment. As the reader will discover, one feature makes Mr. Froggy exceptional. Here is a sample of reader comments: “This is such a lovely story. I like that it's written in the form of a letter to your grandchildren but also in a voice that engages any child in the adventure of Mr. Froggy.” "Readers, old and young alike, will be touched by this grandfather’s wish to share an encounter with nature with his beloved grandchildren. This book entertains, introduces scientific vocabulary and encourages children to step outside of their comfort zone. Lovely, tender and unique!"
The Cherry Tree Weeps for Me: A Quest for The Dawn of Peace chronicles one man’s lifelong pursuit of peace before and after the Pacific War. Takashi Komatsu’s incredible story is told alongside Japan’s pre- and post-WWII history and the country’s remarkable rebirth as a vibrant democratic global economic powerhouse. Komatsu’s journey—from an unsettled youth, to the refuge of New York City’s YMCA as a new immigrant, to the delivery of Harvard’s 1911 commencement address—proves that real life can be stranger than fiction. The Cherry Tree Weeps for Me traces Komatsu's extraordinary life as he rose to the head of a large shipping company in Japan, befriended the heir to the last shogunate and the US Ambassador, and became a respected international businessman and statesman. Risking incarceration and assassination, Komatsu made choices that defied military rulers and right-wing extremists as they edged Japan toward war and devoured a democracy. Within days of the war’s end, inconceivable events led General MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the Occupation Forces, to seek Komatsu's aid to help rebuild Japan and restore amity with the United States. Repairing friendship between the two countries was complex and daunting. Komatsu went far beyond forging relationships with US presidents, ambassadors, scholars, philanthropists, and leaders in the public and private sectors of both Japan and the United States. His legacy is a powerful reminder of the importance of tenacity, empathy, and understanding in international affairs. If you enjoy books like Malcolm Gladwell’s The Bomber Mafia, you’ll love The Cherry Tree Weeps for Me. Find out what transpired after the devastation and one man’s unsung influence that restored a stolen democracy. Book Review 1: “Wilson takes us on a wonderful deep dive into Takashi Komatsu's incredible life and dedication to peace and friendship between the US and Japan. In the years following the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty, Komatsu played a pivotal role in fostering cultural exchange and understanding between the US and Japan, including his work with John D. Rockefeller III to bring the Shofuso House to life (First exhibited at MoMA in New York City and now permanently displayed in Philadelphia).” -- Alan Wilkis Artist (Big Data), Music Producer, and Composer for Film and TV Book Review 2: "With the skill of a seasoned storyteller, Wilson paints a vivid portrait of a man who straddled two worlds; from Takashi Komatsu's beginnings as a twelve-year-old boy venturing overseas to seek his destiny, to his pivotal role in shaping Japanese-American relations in the wake of World War II." -- Monte Francis Multiple Emmy Award-winning journalist and news presenter, France 24; Author of Ice and Bone and By Their Father’s Hand Book Review 3: “Wilson tells the story not only of the unsung hero, Takashi Komatsu, who was educated at my alma mater, but of the history of the relationship between Japan and the United States. He ties together these threads and alerts us to the incredible coincidences. These included living next door to a curious younger boy in Monmouth, Illinois, who would later become responsible for one-half of the US occupation of Japan and, by happenstance, cross paths with Komatsu in Tokyo after 35 years of separation. They would collaborate to begin reconstruction, and their sons would become Monmouth College classmates after the war.” -- Dan Cotter Member of the Board of Trustees of Monmouth College. 2024-25 President of the National Board of Bar Presidents. Author “The Chief Justices – The Seventeen Men of the Center Seat, Their Courts, and Their Times.” Book Review 4: “Unearthing the obscure life of an unsung hero, Wilson’s newest book masterfully unravels how Komatsu emerges as a catalyst for unity and prosperity in post-WWII Japan. It provokes introspection on the age-old quandary of ‘what next’ after conflict termination. Perhaps Wilson employs Komatsu’s character and actions to inspire Americans during this time of extreme political divisiveness and mistrust. Will we forsake revenge and retribution by uniting to fortify peace, democracy, and prosperity? If so, who will emerge as our Komatsu?" -- Colonel Kay A. Smith Colonel, USAF (Retired) Book Review 5: "Wilson’s new book helps readers understand how Takashi Komatsu was influenced by his mentors in the US and Japan. These influences played a major role in his ability to form alliances and work as a catalyst to building the Japanese economy and the strong economic ties between Japan and the US." -- Gary Randazzo Sr. Lecturer, C.T. Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston; Former EVP and General Manager, San Francisco Chronicle and Senior Vice President Houston Chronicle Book Review 6: “When conflicts end, like the current Russian-Ukrainian War, who will be the artists of peace to bring warring partners past the residual anger to cooperation and perhaps friendship? Komatsu was such a man, and his impact seems incomprehensible.” -- Dr. Stan S. Katz Former San Diego World Affairs Council Board Member. Author “The Art of Diplomacy.” Book Review 7: “I was blown away by the volume of Wilson’s research on Japan's geopolitical history and the details of Takashi Komatsu’s life—particularly how they intersected with important global events. Komatsu’s influence on the early years of Japan’s post-WWII recovery and renewed friendship with the US is still felt today, as evidenced by their strong strategic and economic alliances. Wilson’s book illustrates that real life can be as captivating as fiction.” -- Jeff Rankin Retired Editor and Historian, Monmouth College
"Churchill and Roosevelt: The Big Sleepover at the White House" received the 2018 Author Academy Award in Historical Fiction. A London playwright has converted the work to a stage play with plans to premiere in England in 2019 or early 2020. This book was written for those who enjoy history and political intrigue. It will appeal to those who enjoy reading about leadership, particularly in an arena where differences in political views, temperament, and agenda had to be overcome. Without collaboration and compromise, the world as we presently know it might be considerably different. Even though the story occurred over 75 years ago, the protagonists speak in first person voice, not knowing the outcome of the crisis they must confront. Readers may not have known that Winston Churchill visited Franklin Roosevelt two weeks after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt insisted that Winston sleep in the White House. The two men had much in common—more than they realized. There are plenty of other surprises along the way—a chance encounter with Adolph Hitler, a fishing expedition, a shared mentor, a favorite movie, a movie producer spy, Commander Ian Fleming’s visit to the Oval Office, and canine diplomacy to name but a few. During their time together, Churchill and Roosevelt shared many private moments as they forged a bond of friendship, trust, and cooperation that enabled them to defeat their countries’ common enemies. How their relationship evolved is dramatized and personified in this book. Most of the narrative is based on documentation, but what went on behind the view of the public eye is subject to the imagination and suspense. The author fleshes out the story with conversations that may have occurred over the course of three weeks but not necessarily provable. Lastly, the writer sets out to humanize these two epic leaders of the 20th century. He reveals not only their fears and tears but also their joys, humor, passions, temperaments, and schemes. He attempts to “break into their minds” as the two men join together to save the Western world from ruin. The author has also published: “Paw Tracks Here and Abroad: A Dog’s Tale,” (2014) and “Mr. Froggy’s Dilemma,” (2018). Website: www.jamesmikelwilson.com
None of Froggy's friends are home one Saturday, so he goes on a movie playdate with Frogilina.
"Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.
