The dream was, and is, strong. The hand drawn illustrations are perfect blend of detail and simplicity. The illustrations spark the imagination and pull the child into the story. Book 1, Selfie Elfie, introduces Selfie as loving little elf with a passion, selfies. Some of the elves tease Selfie, but Selfie has enough self-esteem to stand firm and he continues doing what he loves. This encouraging tale provides a deeper understanding to would be bullies and deeper strength to those who may become the victim of bullying. Selfie Elfie looks a lot lake many North Pole elves you have seen over the years, perhaps a bit cuter, but when you start flipping through the pages and reading the simple text something unexpected happens. You discover the cute little guy is sharing a story about how he didn't let teasing stop him from doing what he loved. Lori's simple illustrations engage the youngster and the story helps build inner strength while at the same time developing deeper acceptance and understanding of people who are different from yourself.

Elfie is on summer vacation in Hawaii with Santa and Mrs. Claus. He learns the importance of "being present" with his family.

This volume explores the selfie not only as a specific photographic practice that is deeply rooted in digital culture, but also how it is understood in relation to other media of self-portrayal. Unlike the public debate about the dangers of 'selfie-narcissism', this anthology discusses what the practice of taking and sharing selfies can tell us about media culture today: can the selfie be critiqued as an image or rather as a social practice? What are the technological conditions of this form of vernacular photography? By gathering articles from the fields of media studies; art history; cultural studies; visual studies; philosophy; sociology and ethnography, this book provides a media archaeological perspective that highlights the relevance of the selfie as a stereotypical as well as creative practice of dealing with ourselves in relation to technology.

The aroma of beach and coconut wafted through the studio of the artist Elfie Bennett, over the smell of the acrylics and pastels. The consulting room of Dr. Stratton, a psychotherapist, is dominated by the discreet chill of pine forests. In the nightmares of world-famous top model Leslie van Adelaide, the booming echoes of a long-ended cult concert from Donauinsel can still be felt. The truth will restore its throne, says the Wiseman. But how? The personae of the book are victims, provocateurs, or initiators of love betrayal, and this will continue until they find the courage to seek the painful truth about themselves. Ten questions will come closer to finding their answers, in each of the personae the ten answers will provoke the most unexpected responses. I have assembled a city from the most beautiful places I have lived, equipped it with underground clubs and shops for lavender and honey, filled it with residents who aspire to the sunny heights of art and friendship. Any ambiguities are elucidated in the analyses of dreams, the obsessions of artists, and tears of sadness or happiness. This is My universe in which I take refuge when I am overcome by a sense of tedium here. In this way I live several lives. The same applies to you. You too will live a complementary life as you wander through the streets I invented and drink beer to the sounds of Grand Funk Railroad at the Kobe Blues Bar. This is how it is in the novel “Elfie: A Dissection of Betrayal”
