Mike, a native of Hull, Massachusetts, grew up along the shores of this historic New England town. After graduating from high school in 1965, he enlisted in the Marine Corps, where his exceptional linguistic abilities quickly set him apart. Rather than deploying directly to Vietnam, he was sent to Washington, D.C., for rigorous training as a translator and interrogator. When he later served in Vietnam, Mike was stationed in the northern I Corps region, collaborating closely with CIA operatives and South Vietnamese counterparts in interrogations. His role brought him into contact with numerous undercover agents, including veterans of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) from World War II. Among the most enduring impressions of his service were his interactions with Vietnamese female prisoners who kept a strong grip on faith.
This book truly brings out a child's mindset. How innocent they are to the world, to their feelings, everything that's happening in their own little world. The book shows the insights of how a child lives a weekend out camping, where he gets scared, bored, excited. Where he notices the little sounds and sights nature gives you. The excitement he was when he caught his first fish was heart warming. I have a child of my own and reading this through his eyes really helped me see how children think, how they're brains aren't develop like an adults is, its the innocence that made me enjoy the read

Through a Childâs Eyes: Eyes of Discovery by George Leonard Hayes Reading Through a Childâs Eyes: Eyes of Discovery by George Leonard Hayes feels like stepping into the world the way a child sees itâfull of wonder, questions, and quiet moments of discovery. The book reminds us that children do not just look at the world; they explore it with curiosity, imagination, and open hearts.
As I read the pages, it felt like walking through fields, listening to the wind, and noticing the small details adults sometimes forget to see. The story invites readers to slow down and experience life the way a child mightâwhere nature feels magical, thoughts feel big, and every moment holds the possibility of learning something new. The author gently shows how a childâs perspective can turn ordinary moments into meaningful discoveries.

First of all, I would not call this a children's book, nor would I really encourage my 6 year old to read this. The writing is beautiful, but doesn't really give off "childlike". The art work was nice. I feel a weird divide on this book. The artwork and title suggest a fun children's book, but the content not so much. It came off Sorento me as a book for adults, a reminder that everything we do as adults can effect our children.

George is someone who feels small sometimes, but also really brave inside. When grown-ups donât understand him, it makes his chest feel tight, like heâs holding a secret. Thatâs too big to hide. But he keeps trying anyway. Georgeâs courage feels huge, even when heâs scared. The unfair moments hit hard. Friendship becomes a kind of magic, one good friend can make the whole world feel safer. Kids connect with it because they know what itâs like to have big feelings in a small body. They understand wanting to show the world who they really are.

My experience is two-fold, from bad to extremely good. Two United nitwits first published my book without consulting me. It was full of errors. It all changed when Jeffrey Collins, Author Success Manager, took charge of my account. He is a master of his trade, and United Book Publishers Company successfully republished my book. I have self-published eight other books with various companies, but United gets the gold.

I couldnât be any happier with my publishing experience with United Book Publishers! From the moment I started working with them, I felt like my story truly mattered. Their attention to detail and commitment to perfection was evident in every step of the process, from refining my content to expertly publishing on multiple platforms. Aron and his team took the time to understand my vision, and the results were beyond my expectations. Choosing them was the best decision I couldâve made for my book!
If youâre looking for a publishing partner thatâs professional, reliable, and genuinely invested in your success, I wholeheartedly recommend United Book Publishers. You wonât be disappointed!

First, United Book Publishers has the very best book cover design prices that I could find. 2nd, they are very caring and attentive. My first conversation was with Aron Parker, Chief Publishing Officer, who was lovely. Later, I was dealing with Sr. Consultant, Jordan Marshall, who was just as nice as he could be, listening to me, making suggestions, and faithfully reporting what I wanted to the artist.The end result was a seriously beautiful book cover that conveys the spirit of the book and the meaning of the contents. Great experience!

I'm an 80 year old, first time publisher, Investigating all the claims of book publishers, including self publishing led me to United Book Publishers.
When I mentioned that I was hosting my book through the Non-Profit foundation, Global Prefab Systems Foundation, they were quick to advise that there was an additional $100 discount for Non-Profit organizations.
That individual was Mike Amiri. What started out as a professional business relationship, has evolved into a personal friendship, that I now feel deeply connected to Mike.

I especially liked the UBP people I worked with. They have been helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and resilient. The book was very complex and challenging to edit and publish. Areas of suggested improvement are professional editing, communications (mutual understanding, timely, and consistent). I am well pleased with the completed project.
