  • 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 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

What!? Oh my goodness! Praying for comfort and quick healing! Hope all are well!

Prayers will be offered. Does the broken wrist have anything to do with the previous post on ice storms?

Posted by: Jane Duquette | February 2, 2008 9:44 PM

oh no!!!!! I'm so sorry!!! May the Lord give you rest and heal your wrist quickly!

Posted by: shawnda | February 2, 2008 9:44 PM

OH NO! I have been praying so much, and will continue to. I wish I could do more. May Our Great Physician wrap His healing arms around you! I'll pray for your whole family as you won't be able to do as much as you normally do. Do take good care. Sending so much love....

Oh, Barbara, you poor dear! So sorry that your wrist ended up broken, but glad that you went to see about it. Take care of yourself. I wish I lived close enough to bring your family a meal (I am in PA). I will pray that God moves those who live nearby to minister to you and your family. Also for complete healing for your wrist and patience for you while you recover.

Posted by: Kathy | February 2, 2008 10:28 PM

Oh no! I'll be praying you get better very quickly! Hope you get lots of rest.
