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

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

Beautiful photos. Touching moments.

These might be a real gift to this young man's family, as they will be able to see their community's support, love, and admiration for this brave solider.

The pain and the pride ... Godspeed, soldier.

Something always strikes a chord with me when I see the bikers' escorts for soldiers' funerals. i can't quite put my finger on why.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of this Brave Soldier. His ultimate sacrifice is not un-noticed as Americans all over this nation mourn the loss and are truly grateful for his service. God Bless him...

Hello there,

My name is Stephen Keefe. I am the father of a young man who is currently undergoing the U.S. Army's basic training program. Until he unlisted
in the Army, my son Alex lived (with my ex and my younger son Nicholas) in Martinsburg, WV.

I am writing to let you know that I am very impressed by the citizens of Purcellville, VA who turned out to pay tribute to the U.S. Army soldier Stephan Lee Mace who was killed in action in Afghanistan earlier this month.

I cut and copied the link to your the Stephan Mace photos onto my Facebook web page so that relatives and friends of mine can see the wonderful you posted. I hope you don't mind my doing that.

I've never had the occasion to visit Purcellville,
but I think I'm going to drive out there and have breakfast or lunch one of these weekends.

Best regards,
Stephen Keefe
