Little do the animal residents of Green Grass know what is really lurking in the beautiful and tempting woods just beyond their peaceful village. They would be a little more cautious if they knew how so many unaware animals seem to enter only to subsequently vanish. Scarlett and Ryman are good kids who always try and do the right thing but wake up finding themselves a little bored. The duo driven by curiosity eagerly set off to explore the woods in hopes of a little excitement. Their parents tell them that they can go if they promise to stay together, look out for one another, and return before it gets dark. Basically, the standard parent speech that most children listen to and then immediately nearly forget about ever hearing. The young friends may get more than they ever bargained for entering what will become either the story of their memorable exploration or untimely demise

Fierce, bold, and beautiful, Raptors epitomize the American West. From spectacular Bald Eagles to tiny Elf Owls, raptors awe us. In Raptors of the West: Captured in Photographs, renowned raptor advocate and environmental educator Kate Davis and award-winning photographers Rob Palmer and Nick Dunlop open a window into the lives of these spectacular birds of prey. These three photographers have devoted incredible amounts of time to capture some of the most breathtaking images of raptors imaginable. Unlike other bird books, Raptors of the West: Captured in Photographs arranges the birds by habitat type and region where each bird spends the breeding season. Mostly, though, this book is about the photographs―more than 400 of them. From the dramatic cover image of two eagles tussling, to the comical photo of two Burrowing Owl siblings playing, to the amazing shot of a Peregrine Falcon attacking a huge cloud of starlings, bird lovers will swoon. This is a remarkable book.

Saint Nick loved and cared for the least fortunate and most vulnerable, just like Jesus! The Saint Nick Story reminds children that the love of God transcends lists of naughty and nice. With rhythmic prose and vivid illustrations, this book will entertain, teach, and encourage children to be like Christ, and will help you create new holiday traditions to celebrate with your child. Navigating fables alongside the truth can be tricky. The Saint Nick Story provides a way to reclaim longstanding Santa traditions while reinforcing that Christmas is about God's great Gift of Love. There is much we can learn about God's love by witnessing his work in those who have followed Jesus before us. The Bible tells us of the Light of the World giving up heaven for a dirty stable in order that he might bring us peace, show us love, and offer us hope. The Saint Nick Story demonstrates what it looks like when we follow the example of Jesus in our care for our neighbor, and encourage them to rejoice in giving.
