We are reminded of an earlier time when a more unified country is reflected in a family that is proud of being a member of its community in a beautiful and bountiful America. Born the middle child of middle class parents in Middle America on the heels of the Great Depression, Wanda Bjornlie is embraced by the warmth and protection of her brothers and parents. As World War II demands the sacrifices and attention of every U.S. citizen, the prairies of western Minnesota provide an idyllic life for a young girl and her four siblings. Nourished by the love and security of her family, Wanda ventures into a brave new world of the big city and a new career, and is eventually thrust into the tense climate of a racially charged South in the sixties.

For years, author Alice Mohor has used her poetry to inspire children.  The rhythm of her rhyming poetry has engaged hundreds of elementary school students in the concepts and principles of movement, the benefits of physical activity, and the joy of reading.  This collection of poems, Special Days, showcases religious and secular holidays, cultural observances, and ordinary special days, all written from a child's point of view.  As any great teacher would, Alice strives for inclusion and has written poetry in celebration of holidays for various religions.  Although they are capable of standing alone, the magic of her work can be most easily seen when an adult reads Alice's poems aloud to a child.

"Thanks to the loud, but shallow, shouts of political pundits and the unparalleled reductionism of our modern sound-bite society, many people believe that the word 'liberal' is merely a political term, simply a decision to check the Democratic box on the ballot, as opposed to the Republican one. Liberalism is so much more than that. It's a point of view in one's approach to life itself. It's a term that identifies a way of interacting with the entire world, with all of its inhabitants, human and marsupial, vegetable and corporation, ocean floor and ozone layer. It's a raised platform that allows liberals to see beyond our front yard and clearly glimpse the other yards on the other streets in the neighborhood we call Earth."
