Every year, when fall rolls around, kids start thinking about two things--their Halloween costumes and the perfect pumpkin for a jack-o-lantern. In towns and cities across America families visit pumpkin patches to select the perfect orange squashes to line their doorsteps carved or decorated with scary faces, funny expressions, and artistic images. This fun illustrated children's poem shares the excitement and decisions that a child experiences during this annual tradition.
The greatest story ever told is the story of of a baby born in a stable. The players and setting are well-known, but this colorfully illustrated children's book brings a bit of whimsy and fun to the author's inspiring poetic text. This book focuses on what it may have been like as a shepherd or an angel on that first Christmas night and how that night impacts each of us still to this day.
Legends, myths, and folklore have featured birds for ages. Because birds fly, in many cultures, birds are associated with the gods or with heaven, if they aren't gods themselves. This book has two of these ancient tales retold in poetic form with fun, colorful illustrations. "The Kaha Bird" is a retelling of an old Tajik tale told in limericks. "How the Birds Got Their Colors" is a retelling of an Australian Aboriginal myth that explains why all of the birds have colors except one.
