Calliope Callisto Clark and the Search for Wisdom introduces timeless philosophy through the relatable story of a girl trying to save her beloved dog

BROOMFIELD, CO, UNITED STATES, January 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As Stoicism experiences a cultural resurgence among adults seeking practical wisdom for modern stress and anxiety, award-winning author Claudia Mills bridges ancient philosophy and contemporary middle-grade fiction in “Calliope Callisto Clark and the Search for Wisdom,” published by Holiday House and releasing March 10, 2026.

The Children’s Book Review announces this latest novel from Mills, who uniquely combines her expertise as a tenured philosophy professor with more than two decades at the University of Colorado and her prolific career as an author of over 60 books for young readers.

In this hilarious and heartfelt story, strong-willed student Calliope Callisto Clark—”Callie”—joins a philosophy club seeking the wisdom she needs to keep her beloved but equally headstrong dog. But once she starts saying something, it’s hard for her to stop. The opinion gets bigger and bigger, her voice gets louder and louder—and she gets in more and more trouble!

When Callie turns to Greek philosophy for answers on how to solve her problems, she only gets more questions: What is justice? What is fairness? And as her problems get bigger, so do her questions: Is it Callie’s fault when Grampy has a stroke?

“Throughout my professional life, I have pursued two careers simultaneously, as a children’s book author and tenured philosophy professor. These paths intersected beautifully in my teaching,” said Mills. “But in Calliope Callisto Clark and the Search for Wisdom, for the first time, I have my main character directly encountering the work and words of some of the world’s great philosophers.”

The novel introduces young readers to Epictetus’ timeless wisdom about focusing on what we can control and letting go of what we can’t—a message particularly relevant as children today navigate unprecedented levels of stress and uncertainty.

“The sooner we can learn Epictetus’ crucial life lesson—that some things are up to us and other things are NOT up to us—the better,” continued Mills. “This book will help young readers who feel burdened by worry about situations completely outside of their control.”

The book arrives at a time when traditional humanities disciplines face declining enrollments in higher education, yet popular interest in practical philosophy grows. “Calliope Callisto Clark and the Search for Wisdom” celebrates the importance of humanistic thought for everyone, regardless of age or professional ambition.

“Philosophy does NOT provide easy answers,” concluded Mills. “Often you will end up with more questions than answers. But, like Callie and her fellow philosophy club members, readers will find their brains expanding as they wrestle with genuinely difficult questions.”

Mills’s recently published book, “The Last Apple Tree,” was named a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection, a prestigious honor recognizing outstanding books for young readers. Both “The Last Apple Tree” and “Calliope Callisto Clark and the Search for Wisdom” received starred reviews in Kirkus Reviews.

“Calliope Callisto Clark and the Search for Wisdom” will be published March 10, 2026, and available from major booksellers nationwide and online. To celebrate the release, Mills will host an online book tour beginning February 18, 2026.

The promotional tour includes giveaways of ten signed hardcover copies, plus a grand prize package featuring two additional signed Claudia Mills books and a one-hour Zoom visit with the author. Tour details and registration information are available via The Children’s Book Review website.

Mills also offers inspirational talks about her famous hour-a-day writing system, which many have found transformative for their creative process.

High-resolution cover art and author photos are available upon request.

Colorado Springs families are invited to attend this free event connecting families with 50-plus local resources for tutoring, sports, music and more.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, UNITED STATES, January 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — A free event that hosts more than a thousand families each year returns to the Colorado Springs Event Center on Saturday, January 24. Parents Challenge invites El Paso County families to the Colorado Springs School Fair featuring more than 50 local vendors, resources, giveaways, games, Air O Sport and student performances. Families can drop in anytime between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

“At Parents Challenge, we believe students succeed when families are equipped, encouraged, and empowered to forge their own educational paths,” said Deborah Hendrix, the executive director of Parents Challenge. “This event is designed to make it easy for families to meet local schools in one place, ask questions and leave with real next steps.”

As part of National School Choice Week (NSCW), the 10th annual school fair brings together educational options from across El Paso County. This year’s vendors offer everything from private, public, charter, homeschool options, tutoring, early-childhood education and social-aptitude resources, to sports, outdoor programs, music and enrichment opportunities.

• When: Saturday, January 24, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

According to the NSCW website, National School Choice Week’s purpose is to inform, inspire and educate on the importance of school-choice opportunities in K-12 education. With Governor Jared Polis’s recent support of the federal, school-choice initiative, this year’s event holds a timely opportunity for Colorado families to learn more about their options.

As a school-choice organization, Parents Challenge works hand-in-hand with low-income families to empower them to select the best educational paths for their children – whether that’s public, charter, private or homeschool. Parents Challenge recently wrapped up a record-setting 25th anniversary year with more than $2.3 million in support and launched its first-ever branch in Pueblo and Teller County.

Since 2000, Parents Challenge has supported more than 1,500 low-income families and nearly 4,500 children by providing information, mentoring, tools, and financial resources that can include help with items like instrument rentals, sports equipment, homeschool supplies, or private tuition—depending on each family’s needs.

“Parents Challenge changed everything for our family,” said Victor Torres, whose family participated in the program. “The program empowered my wife and I to help our children pursue the best educational paths for each of them… Parents Challenge supports families personally; we can’t thank them enough.”

As part of National School Choice Week, Parents Challenge is also hosting a free-to-the-public, Parent Empowerment Session with Dr. Regina Lewis and her son, Major Dr. Charles Lewis, on Wednesday, January 21. The Lewis family will share about the power of active parental involvement as both Dr. Regina and Major Dr. Charles grew from facing poverty to achieving doctorate degrees.

A heartfelt new paperback collection transforms ordinary moments into soulful reflections on joy, heartbreak, and the shared truths that connect us all.

NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, January 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Author Sunita Tohan makes a thoughtful and emotionally resonant entrance into contemporary short fiction with the release of Sunita’s Short Stories, a paperback collection that distills life’s simplest moments into meaningful, human-centered narratives. Through a series of reflective and accessible stories, Sunita invites readers to pause, observe, and reconnect with the emotional truths often hidden within everyday experiences.

At its core, Sunita’s Short Stories is a celebration of ordinary life—its quiet joys, subtle lessons, and inevitable heartaches. Each piece stands alone while contributing to a broader tapestry of shared humanity, offering readers glimpses into moments that feel both deeply personal and universally familiar. Rather than relying on dramatic twists, the book finds its strength in emotional honesty and relatability, drawing readers in through recognition and reflection.

The collection explores themes such as love, loss, resilience, gratitude, and personal growth, revealing how even the smallest interactions can shape who we are. Sunita’s writing style is warm and unpretentious, allowing stories to unfold naturally while leaving space for readers to interpret meaning through their own experiences.

The inspiration behind the book stems from Sunita’s belief that life’s most powerful lessons are rarely found in extraordinary events, but in the moments we often overlook. By capturing memories, reflections, and emotional snapshots, she seeks to honor the beauty of lived experience and remind readers that meaning can be found even in routine days.

Written for readers who enjoy reflective fiction, personal storytelling, and emotionally grounded narratives, Sunita’s Short Stories appeals to a wide audience—from casual readers seeking comfort and relatability to those who enjoy pausing between chapters to reflect. The book’s short-story format makes it especially well-suited for readers who value impactful reading experiences without the commitment of a long novel.

Beyond entertainment, the collection serves as a gentle reminder that life’s ups and downs are shared experiences. By exploring joy alongside heartbreak, Sunita creates a balanced emotional journey that validates vulnerability and celebrates resilience. Each story offers a quiet takeaway, encouraging readers to see their own lives with greater compassion and awareness.

The book is now available — secure your copy here: https://a.co/d/5akGAkD

In The Full Disclosure Iliad, Jeff Wright presents the complete Trojan War as a single, continuous epic for modern readers

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, January 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — For nearly 3,000 years, the story of the Trojan War has reached readers in fragments. Homer’s Iliad searingly recounts some of the war’s most pivotal moments, but it neither explains how the conflict began nor follows it through to Troy’s final destruction. Those missing chapters of the story survive scattered across lost epics, later poetry, drama, and historical tradition. In his forthcoming book, The Full Disclosure Iliad, author and podcaster Jeff Wright gathers this dispersed material into a single, continuous narrative, presenting the full arc of the Trojan War from beginning to end. The book releases on May 26, 2026.

“The story of Troy is woven into our culture,” Wright explains. “Everyone knows pieces of it: Achilles’ heel, the Trojan Horse, the face that launched a thousand ships. But most people do not know the full story, how it begins, or how it truly ends.”

Homer’s Iliad has thrilled readers while simultaneously frustrating them. The epic begins nearly a decade into the war, offers little explanation of how the conflict began, and ends before Troy ever falls. While revered as a literary masterpiece, it leaves modern audiences without the context or resolution expected of a complete story. Film adaptations often compound the problem, sacrificing accuracy and depth for spectacle.

The Full Disclosure Iliad solves that long-standing gap.

In this sweeping narrative, Wright gathers the entire Trojan War tradition, including Homer’s Iliad, the lost epics of the Trojan War Cycle, classical Greek drama, Roman retellings, and modern historical scholarship, and weaves them into one seamless epic. From the divine spark that ignites the conflict to the final destruction of Troy, nothing is left unexplained, and no ending is unresolved.

Written for what Wright calls the “classically curious,” the book balances scholarly rigor with momentum and emotional depth.

“This is not watered down,” Wright says. “It is a full, serious epic, but it is also engaging, dramatic, and accessible. If you have seen the movies or tried reading the originals and felt like something was missing, this book is for you.”

Each chapter concludes with “Jeff’s Notes,” where Wright breaks the fourth wall in candid, conversational asides that lay bare his authorial choices. Unlike traditional scholarly footnotes, these behind-the-scenes notes reveal conflicting ancient sources, explain key narrative decisions, and offer rare transparency into how and why Jeff shaped his story.

Achilles, for instance: magically invulnerable to injury in some sources, or simply a warrior of extraordinary skill in others? Helen of Troy: kidnap victim, faithless wife, scheming manipulator, or pawn of the gods? In his “Jeff’s Notes,” Wright traces these tangled traditions and openly shares the versions he ultimately chose to leave on the cutting room floor.

Wright is uniquely positioned to have written The Full Disclosure Iliad. For more than twenty-five years, he has performed Trojan War tales on live stages, refining the narrative before audiences ranging from high school students to classical scholars. That work evolved into the acclaimed podcast Trojan War: The Podcast, which has surpassed 1.5 million downloads, followed by Odyssey: The Podcast, winner of the Society for Classical Studies’ Forum Prize.

Throughout The Full Disclosure Iliad, Wright tackles enduring questions that many texts and films leave unanswered. Did the Greeks really sail with a thousand ships? Was Helen truly the cause of the war? Did the Trojan Horse exist? The result is a single, coherent epic that preserves the grandeur of myth while grounding the story in plausible history.

Reviewed for accuracy by classical scholars, The Full Disclosure Iliad is positioned to resonate with both general readers and educators.

“Professors already assign my podcasts alongside the traditional readings. I believe The Full Disclosure Iliad will be a book professors assign to first-year students, building on that foundation.”

“Prepare to laugh, to cry, to rage,” Wright concludes, “and more than once, to have your heart completely broken. That is what great stories do.”
