About the Books

 The Silhouette Man by Jillip Naysinthe Paxson tells the story of a young person who wants to make a difference in the world -- and the grandparent who mentors and guides him along the way.  It is based on the real-life relationship between Greg and his Grandma, and the lessons she taught him.   The book was recognized in Canada with the Wisdom Speaks honor -- given to a book that celebrates the unique wisdom of seniors.   The First Thirty (the condensed student edition of the book) was honored as NSDLC Multicultural Relations Book of the Year.  The books are used by schools, retirement communities, companies & organizations around North America.
