The Events That Inspired "Your Spark"During the summer of 2020, I watched different news networks report the continuing pandemic. I remember one particular moment when Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Dr. Drew all expressed that keeping kids out of school could cause significant negative life impacts. They discussed how potential isolation could lead to deep depression, and possibly even suicide. Of course, we all know what happened when school started. The majority of the country closed school buildings and went into remote learning.As a doctor, I continued to take care of patients and I would hear common concerns from the parents. It was almost always, "My kids aren't the same, and they really miss their friends, sports, school and other activities." This was just as the doctors had predicted on t.v.As summer ended and everything remained closed, my dad and I put a basketball hoop in our barn and poured a cement pad creating a space for kids to play. Right out of the gate, we had 5-10 kids showing up 2 nights a week. As word spread, and parents became more desperate to find something for their children to do, we added more nights and new kids would show up. Day after day they came regardless of the weather! We would often have a bonfire just so they had a place to warm up.I'll never forget the phone calls from parents as they drove home. They would often say, "I finally have my kid back" or " I haven't seen my kid smile like this in so long."It was at that moment I realized that isolating kids, making them less active and less social was Snuffing Out Their Spark! Even after months of negative life impact, all it took was one evening, and their Spark began to brighten again!

My name is Blue. I am a Great Blue Heron and this story is about me. Let me start from the beginning.One March morning, my father flew to a large group of trees. Some were very tall.

They needed to be cleaned up and many more sticks needed to be added to make them strong enough to hold a whole family.

Desperation makes warriors of captives.The Gods split the skies and rained down tyranny upon the mortal realm long ago. Ever since then, the only thing worse than being human is being of Divine Blood.For someone like me-an undocumented God child, indebted to the Underworld Assassination Guild-that means only one thing: A life in the shadows.Or so it should have been ... until Mortal Gods Academy. Until them.The Darkhaven Brothers are truly the worst of all the Gods' spawn. Arrogant. Wicked. Violent.To them, I'm nothing more than a human plaything meant for torment. For me ... they're the path and the key to my freedom.But if any of them find out who I am, what I am ... even the shadows won't be able to save me.

The future of humanity hangs in the balance as black ice emerges in summer and a mysterious disease threatens to wipe swaths of the population from the planet. But there is hope in the hands of the surviving youth, living in a bunker at the edge of the world, as they use science and the arts to open new pathways towards eco-harmony and collective possibility. At the heart of this odyssey is the profound bond between Luna "Cassie" Cassandra Coatlique and Papá, a brilliant writer clinging to his final days, through a series of letters and journals giving insight to the darker legacies of our history - colonialism, patriarchy, and political authoritarianism. As their journey unfolds, they weave in insights from Homer, Aristotle, Spinoza, and Pacheco, among others, to forge a possible new narrative that can lead humanity out of dystopic labyrinths into a world reborn. From award winning author and professor at University of Texas, Austin, Frederick Aldama; with special thanks and honor of working with Itzel Argil Aguilar (artist and penciler), Nicky Rodriguez (inker), and Renato Quiroga (letterer and colorist).
