What would you do if you were picking flowers in your grandma's backyard when suddenly, the huge green leaves of her rhubarb plant begins to wiggle? Would you run to Grandma for help, or would you check it out yourself? That is exactly what Ava Rose and Ella Rose did! They wanted to find out for themselves. They couldn't decide what to do at first. What if it was a snake or a big old fat toad? It could even be a skunk hiding under the plant! The girls came up with a plan to use a long, sturdy stick. Ava Rose stood as far back as she could. Ella Rose was so nervous and said, "Ava, be careful." Ava Rose leaned over and lifted up the leaves of the big rhubarb plant. Ava Rose and Ella Rose screamed and jumped back. They couldn't believe their eyes. It was a...no, no, no. Can't tell you. That would ruin the mystery under the rhubarb plant. Just open the book, and follow the two sisters on their wonderful adventure. You will not believe the exciting things the two little girls experienced after finding a surprise in their grandma's backyard. Ava Rose and Ella Rose made new friends and discovered that you are never too young to help someone or something in need.

A local tragedy shocks the parish. A mass shooting or natural disaster has a region or nation reeling. In times like these, people ask, "Where is God?" and they come to the parish looking for answers. Drawing on her own experiences helping parishes cope with shock and tragedy, Kathy Hendricks presents effective pastoral ideas for offering compassion and care to those who are grieving, suggestions for liturgical responses, and ways to pray when prayer seems impossible. A concluding chapter treats self-care-a most important yet often neglected part of being an effective pastoral minister and companion on the journey. We all pray that tragedies won't strike, but when they do-and they will-The Parish Emergency Kit is a vital resource for every parish. Book jacket.
