The Jade Book: A Stone of Hope

The Jade Book: A Stone of Hope
Carved by Cosimo Geracitano

Written by Daniela Geracitano Vance
Foreword by Arun Gandhi

Published by Colossal Creations

In December 2000, Cosimo Geracitano set out to do the seemingly impossible, to make a book entirely out of jade, with bound pages that could be turned. This is the fascinating story of one man’s struggle and sacrifice to transform British Columbian jade (nephrite) into a form that has never been carved before.

It is the story of a sculpture that broke boundaries in its creation and that advocates the breaking of boundaries between people and nations through the images and words of three of history’s greatest humanitarians: Mother Teresa, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi. It is the story of a work of art that aims at moving people to rise to the challenge of achieving inner and outer harmony and creating a better global community.

The story of how Geracitano put his strong urge into action is awe-inspiring. How he learned the art of sculpture at an age when most people would want to retire, how he acquired the tools and the stone, and how he proceeded to work in his garage through sunshine and snow must inspire all of us to work with the same zeal to achieve what moves us.” - Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and founder/director of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence

My Gift: The Magic of a Special Child

My Gift: The Magic of a Special Child
Written by Daniela Geracitano Vance

Published by Colossal Creations

This work of love promotes understanding, acceptance, and peace by honouring the gifts that each child brings into the world. It offers profound insight into the mind and heart of a mother whose child was born with Down syndrome, and sends a poignant message about the immeasurable worth of every human being.

Healing for parents of disabled children and enlightening for health professionals, educators, and the world, this poem reveals the vast emotional terrain that the parent of a special child must traverse, often in silence, and uncovers a place of endless light and hope that can be found when one is forced to explore beyond the tangible and see the soul.

Daniela Vance's triumphant song of praise to her son Matthew celebrates with heartwrenching honesty the joys and sorrows of his first year of life. This lovely poem is an enduring gift to Matthew, to all parents, and most of all, to those who must face the bittersweet challenges of raising a special child. - Eileen Kernaghan, author of The Snow Queen and Dance of the Snow Dragon
