This project began as a writing experiment for Jef Harris Poems' Facebook page in October 2015. Jef Harris sought to create micro poems, with as few words as possible, that substantiated realities in his life circumstances. Seven words were the lowest applicable number chosen to present his cognition, stretching poetic conventions to the edge of making sense, omitting verbs and articles without burying ideas, thoughts, or interpretation. He also sampled numbers of words below seven. However, seven words are ideal for the ideas presented in this project. Therefore, read each line as an individual poem.

"Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid" (A. Einstein). Psychology believes intelligence is a trait that can and should be cultivated. Like any other trait, the earlier one starts, the better the results. 'Learning Colours' uses a Montessori approach, aiming to take advantage of a child's natural born curiosity in order to stimulate a well-developed critical thinking. How does it do that? By using images of colours, so that it spurs the toddler's cognitive abilities. 'Learning Colours' didn't invent the wheel but it has adapted it to the 21st century, addressing itself to the parent that wants to go the extra mile, because he wants to raise a little genius.This book has 42 pages with colours for babies and toddlers between 0 -3 years old.

To call To call the prose in this book invigorating would be an understatement. Charles Rafferty's stories invite you to damn the collar and charge the invisible fence: there's a shock to the system, and then you have the freedom to move in the world that was right in front of you but somehow unexplored. The air is better on his side of the barrier, bracing and clear. I'm not sure whether one should call them stories or incendiary devices.--Sarah Harris Wallman, author of Senseless Women, Juniper Prize for Fiction<BR>Charles Rafferty's stories present almost recognizable scenarios: we meet a man stealing cemetery flowers to bring to his date, another presenting his neighbors with their dead cat, another pondering the arrival of peacocks to the neighborhood. Rafferty's world is just a little stranger, just a little sharper, just a little funnier than our own. After spending some time in this marvelous world, we return to our own, surprised and enlightened, ready to appreciate it anew.--Beth Ann Fennelly, author of Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs, W. W. Norton<BR>Charles Rafferty is a master of the short form, and the micro-stories that make up. Somebody Who Knows Somebody are like the lights of a city that blink by your train window as you ride quickly into the night. And what lights! These stories are precise, each glimpse beautifully rendered; they are alternately funny, menacing, and are both tender toward and unforgiving of what feels like a very particular American disquiet. I loved it.--Ethan Rutherford, author of The Peripatetic Coffin and Other Stories, Ecco<BR>Whether huffing breath into the lungs of the forsaken figures of classical myth or bearing witness to the quiet desperation of threadbare neighbors of otherwise quiet exurban lanes, these brief, fierce tales strike a smack to the forehead, like a branch stretched taut and then released on a winding, wooded trail.--Ian Morris, author of When Bad Things Happen to Rich People and Simple Machines<BR><BR><BR>
