In a collage of mind-blowing stories, author Diamond Mike Watson reveals the secrets of unlimited possibilities. Tales of Imagination is a children’s imagination book with twenty short stories and six poems. It is a classroom read-aloud book that invites readers to rediscover the childhood we once knew. Each tale encounters whimsical fantasy and unforgettable characters. These creative stories for children remind us that imagination is not an escape from reality-it is the door to understanding it. The greatest adventures are not always found in distant lands- they begin in our minds. From the Introduction: “Some may say these stories happened in real life. Others will say they only happened inside the abyss of my fantasies. In either case, one may agree that, in one way or another, every story in this book happened. Studies may one day show that being awake or being asleep may not be complete opposites. Whether in living or in dreaming, we all embrace a glowing ember of genius. I hope these stories will help blow life into the ember of every reader. From deep in the brain, there lies a secret place where everything is real.” As the founder of the nationally recognized Why Mom Deserves a Diamond® contest, Watson has inspired hundreds of thousands of young writers to read and to express their creativity through writing. For the school classroom or a good bedtime story, you will find yourself reading these tales over and over again. You will never look at the world the same way again.“Diamond Mike’s optimism is contagious, leaving students and teachers inspired to look upon any goal as attainable.” Cristina Barber.

A Legendary Story of Perseverance.
Moon Over Mountains: The Search for Mom is a powerful memoir of adoption and the lifelong quest to discover one's origins. In this deeply personal narrative, Diamond Mike Watson recounts his twenty-year search for the woman who gave him life.
The end of his journey revealed a shocking discovery: his birthmother had died before he could find her. Before her death, she carried a secret to her grave- her baby was stillborn. For nearly four decades, while a family grieved a child they believed had never lived, that child was alive, searching for a family who never knew he existed.
Born in Indianapolis in 1958 and adopted at three days old, Watson was raised by loving adoptive parents in Southern Indiana. Although he felt loved, two questions forever haunted him - Who am I and where did I come from?
Beginning as a teenager armed with only his birthmother's name, a hospital bill, and a long-forgotten address, Watson embarks on a decades-long journey of dead ends and sealed records. His quest for one person transforms into the remarkable reunion of an entire family separated by decades of secrecy and loss.
Moon Over Mountains also offers insight into the history of closed adoptions in America and the challenges adoptees face when seeking access to their own records. Blended with lessons about forgiveness and the unconditional right to know where we came from, the memoir is enriched by vivid childhood memories and humorous adventures. Readers interested in adoption memoirs and family history will find this book deeply moving.
At its heart, Moon Over Mountains is a story of love -the love of a mother who raised a child, the love of a woman who made the difficult decision of relinquishment, and the love that inspires a son to spend a lifetime searching for the truth.
The conclusion of Watson's journey unfolds into the beginning of yet another- the search for his missing sister, Deborah Kay.
Moon Over Mountains continues to be an unparalleled chronicle of human spirit and a testament that all things are possible through intention and perseverance.
