  • The Little Red Hen
    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

    A Chair for My Mother
    A remarkably beautiful story told by a young girl whose mother is a waitress. Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother. Life has its ups and downs, but there’s always lots of love. Ages 4-7

Reaching the Left from the Right - Evangelical Outpost review

Joe Carter reviewed Reaching the Left from the Right: Talking about Social Issues with People Who Don't Think Like You (for more info check out Barbara's Books in right sidebar) at his Evangelical Outpost.

Read Joe's review here.

The Verdict: Whether discussing homosexuality, abortion, or feminism, Curtis provides a model for how to show compassion for people while remaining uncompromising on principles. This brief, readable book is refreshingly practical and focuses on down-to-earth debates rather than abstract policy arguments.

The Recommendation: Buy the book for a conservative high-school or college age student. Young right-wingers can learn a lot from this hipster grandmother.

I like his 60 second style.

Thanks, Joe!

Love,
