In a short span, seventeen-year-old Anna Feiner's life becomes "persona non-grata." Being Jewish in 1943 has become a hazard, but her father's determination and her unconventional looks may be her saving grace. As Germany strives to eliminate the Jewish population, Anna's father, Joseph, makes her search for a place to hide and learn to survive on her own. She found the perfect spot for her future home, but like most teenagers, she ignored her father and missed her opportunity to hide and vanish, leaving only one possible way out; escaping with the dead. She will lie in the mass grave of the dead, to flee from the grasp of the ghetto and feared concentration camps. She is determined to find her hiding place, but she can't resist seeing her home and her best friend, Peter, one more time. Little do the Nazis know, a young Jewish girl is determined on sneaking her way back into town instead of out. Anna can only guess where her twisted journey will lead. Peter has never confessed he's loved Anna since he was fourteen, but being German makes it impossible. Officer Holtz, a loyal repeat customer, befriends Peter. When Anna is caught outside the bakery wanting one last look at home, Peter must decide where his life and loyalty lies, with Officer Holtz and Germany or Anna. Joseph Feiner is destined to die in ashes in the death camps but convinces the Nazi's he can make beautiful jewelry for their loved ones. He's filled with remorse when he learns what he is to use to make it with, but if it will lead him back to Anna, he'll do it.

"Heronymus Heron Discovers His Shadow" is an unusual children's book about a clever bird, a Great Blue Heron, who felt different and unimportant -- that is until his shadow convinced him otherwise. For most youngsters, feeling different is normal. But that doesn't make the experience less painful. Maybe it's larger ears or red hair, not doing well in school or not being athletic. Whatever makes young people feel even a bit awkward can isolate them. But when they learn what Heronymus discovered about himself and others, they, too, might see themselves in a new way. Through rich photographs and an engaging tale, this story encourages children to notice what is around them - differences, shadows, wildlife, friends - and to imagine what is possible. It is a story about the opportunities that lie in the everyday kindnesses and everyday heroism that make others feel included, special, and unique. This tale is part reality, part fantasy, part bird-watching, part lesson, and a whole lot of fun A former school superintendent calls the book "a conversation starter at home and in the classroom," and a clinical psychologist says, "For every kid (and adult ) who doubts that they could be a hero, it's time for them to meet Heronymus Heron, the unexpected hero of this story."

Review Tom Leigh, long-time illustrator of Sesame Street and Muppet books, says ..."The story of Heronymus is clever, warm and engaging and encourages children to think about their world in a very different way. It also brings them closer to the natural world as they get to know and appreciate Hero.A wonderful book.""You Gotta Love Heronymus! For all the Heronymus Herons out there, it's time to claim your individual hero and dance to your heart's content! When you do, you'll be surprised to see who follows. The story is appealing; the photos are perfectly taken and perfectly chosen for each page. Patricia Perry, Clinical Psychologist Our son, age 8, loves this story - he's an avid "bird guy" - it covers a lot of themes he is learning in school: building friendships, accepting others, feeling "othered," finding your tribe. AND it has "real birds" vs. cartoons. He liked connecting feelings to real animals. A cute, wonderful book. Kate Crosby, Science Marketing"This delightful children's book has become my coffee table book. I turn to it often to enjoy the charming photos and to slip momentarily into a simpler world with Hero and his pals. I bought it for my grandchildren, but I'm keeping this copy and ordering them another one!"Susie Griggs Green, TeacherWe purchased this book for our grandchildren (ages 5, 7, and 10) and for ourselves! It is wonderful. The story is well-written and has a moral without being heavy-handed about it. The photographs are exceptional Great reading (and looking at) experience regardless of one's age. Tommy RockfordWHAT A BLESSING to read during the current reality. I didn't expect to have anything to smile about today. I SMILED AND SMILED AND SMILED! The diversity theme! The community! WOW! When I see my nephew, we are going to DANCE AND DANCE AND DANCE TOGETHER! THANK YOU HERO! Ann Carr, Organization ConsultantThis book was recommended for its superb illustration and photography, but I quickly realized that its message and the approachability of its writing make it even more valuable! My son and daughter-in-law, both education professionals, love the book, and the grandkids have made it a bedtime "requirement." Easily 5-stars.Wayne J Desbrow, Marketing Communication Consultant, grandfather I loved the storyline, photos, and how Heronymus discovered himself. This book is not just for kids but a lesson for all to live by. It is my coffee table book for all to see.Linda Horne, Business Owner Product Description Feeling different is not unusual for youngsters. This imaginative children's book is about a clever bird who felt different and alone - that is, until his shadow convinced him otherwise. An engaging, highly visual tale about a likable great blue heron encourages children to celebrate what makes them unique, treasure their relationships, and value differences. Hero's journey is one of discovery that invites children to find the hero in themselves and look for the hero in others. About the Author An avid wildlife photographer, Jan fell in love with a great blue heron she named Heronymus and, with her camera, she captured his best angles, his shadows, and his friends. With her four grandchildren in mind, she recruited talented storyteller Richard Skaare and, together, they visualized and wrote a tale that stirs the imagination and inspires heroism among readers and listeners.Richard spent his career as a corporate communicator and his life listening to and telling stories. A worldwide traveler, avocational writer and photographer, and a grandfather, Richard was taken by Jan Williams' photographs of Heronymus Heron and joined her to create the fun story of a bird who realized that being different does not stop you from becoming a hero.Step 2 Branding and Design
