Children’s Author Says ‘Pay What You Can’ for His Bestselling Diverse Books for Kids
LOS ANGELES, April 20, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Today, bestselling author Bobby Basil announced parents can buy his three diverse book series for kids — Pedro & Pete, Texting with History, and Travel Bug — for the price they can afford at bobbybasilbooks.com.
Pedro & Pete helps kids learn Spanish with interactive activity books and a companion "Spanish to English" podcast, which ranks as a top education podcast for kids in over 20 countries. Texting with History follows text conversations between curious kid Alex and inspiring figures from Black History, Women's History, and Hispanic Heritage like Frida Kahlo and Harriet Tubman. And interstellar alien Travel Bug explores cultures around the world from Peru down south all the way to Iceland up north.
Amazon awarded Basil the KDP Select All Star prize as an author who has been read the most on its platform. The Theodore Roosevelt Association recognized him as a national finalist for his book "Texting with Theodore Roosevelt." And he became another national finalist in Sundance Institute's New Voices Lab for his virtual reality musical experience for kids.
Basil realized the hundreds of dollars it would cost to buy all his kids' books online was more than most families could afford. So he created his own e-commerce store to offer printable ebook versions. Parents pay what they can, and the price starts at a dollar.
"I want my prices to be as inclusive as the themes in my books," asserted Basil. "Cost shouldn't stop parents from teaching their children about diversity. Diversity for kids is priceless."
Bobby Basil Books for Kids publishes bestselling read-aloud books that entertain and educate preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school early readers. Basil has also written children's stories for companies including Disney, Nickelodeon, and Amazon Studios. To learn more about Bobby Basil's diversity books, visit bobbybasilbooks.com.

\"Tyler The Great Warrior\" Yu-Gi-Oh! Card
Beckett Collectibles Set to Auction \"Tyler The Great Warrior\" Yu-Gi-Oh! card
PLANO, Texas, April 20, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Next week, Beckett Collectibles will partner with eBay and Collectable to auction the world's rarest Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card—the ultra-rare, 1-of-1 "Tyler the Great Warrior" card.
At age 14, Tyler Gressle was stricken with a rare liver cancer and contacted the Make-A-Wish Foundation with a request: He wanted to personally create a card for Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Japanese trading card game he loved. An avid drawer and Yu-Gi-Oh! player, this idea united two of his passions, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation saw merit in the concept and contacted Yu-Gi-Oh! and its creators.
The Gressle family was eventually connected with the company behind Yu-Gi-Oh!. Gressle designed the first draft of the card himself, and the late, celebrated Kazuki Takahashi took Gressle's designs and turned it into an official Yu-Gi-Oh! card. Takahashi chose the name— "Tyler the Great Warrior," and the concept went straight from printing to slab, with no human hands handling the finished card during production.
"Over the past 20 years of my involvement in trading card games (TCG), I have had the opportunity to see an abundance of rare and obscure cards," said Ian Mcdaries, Beckett's lead TCG verifier. "From world-famous cards such as the Pikachu Illustrator to the prestigious BGS 10 Alpha Black Lotus, 'Tyler the Great Warrior' represents the pinnacle of my TCG career. As someone who has collected and played Yu-Gi-Oh! since its genesis back in 2002, having the opportunity to be a part of Tyler's journey was a real privilege."
Since its printing, the card acquired a lore of its own, with collectors debating its existence. Today, it is the rarest Yu-Gi-Oh! Card in history. Gressle approached Beckett Collectibles to grade the card, and after two decades, "Tyler the Great Warrior" will pass to its next owner. The auction can be viewed here.

DISCOVERY+ Star Leon Logothetis’ New Book ‘Go Be Brave’: Empowering Mental Health & Self...
LOS ANGELES, April 20, 2023 (Newswire.com) - On Tuesday, April 25, 2023, Netflix and Discovery+ host Leon Logothetis will release his new book, Go Be Brave: 24¾ Adventures for a Fearless, Wise, and Truly Magnificent Life. The book encourages readers to fight for their voice and find ways to free themselves from unhealthy labels we tend to place on ourselves and society, including mental health stigmas, bullying, and trauma. His own journey of self-discovery inspires Logothetis' book as he learned to be brave in order to overcome mental health obstacles in his own life.
His book comes at a crucial time, with over 50 million Americans experiencing a mental health illness. "The key is to be brave," says Logothetis. "I want readers to know that it is OK not to be OK. It's OK not always to be strong. Through my years traveling around the world with no money to my name, relying solely on the kindness of strangers, I found that true bravery is when you know you need to ask for help. When we speak our truth."
Go Be Brave takes readers on 24¾ adventures, with bravery exercises to start becoming more confident and courageous, arming them with the bravery skills to make life what they intended it to be. Leon, who also struggled with years of bullying, trauma, along with mental health issues, serves as the tour guide throughout.
- Why everyone should get mad: The five lessons of anger, towards understanding that anger is simply fear turned inside out.
- Learn to say "yes" to adventure, and embrace saying "no" to things that don't serve you.
- How finding a bravery buddy is the interpersonal connection we need to experience deep change.
- Start writing in a "truth diary" - where you get a safe place to finally speak your truth.
Logothetis has made a successful career out of inspiring others around the world through his popular NETFLIX show, The Kindness Diaries (now airing on Discovery+). He believes that bravery isn't something you either have or don't have — it's something you can learn over time with practice and dedication. "It takes courage every day to step into the unknown and speak our truths," says Logothetis. "But if we do it together, we can all become brave emotional warriors."
Go Be Brave offers readers an opportunity for transformation by guiding them through steps towards embracing vulnerability and taking risks in order to live with joy rather than fear. By teaching readers how to be brave enough to confront their issues head-on, the book provides a path forward for those struggling with fear and doubt.
Logothetis hopes this book will serve as a beacon of hope for those who feel trapped — giving them back control over their lives by helping them see that they can conquer anything they set their minds on. With Go Be Brave, readers can begin the process of healing while finding strength within themselves along the way.
