A Story for Children Who Are Moving

For young children, moving to a new home presents a unique set of challenges. While older children grasp the concept of permanent change, preschoolers may not until they have been in their new surroundings for several days or weeks. They experience a move on a very sensory level, reacting to changes in sights, smells, sounds, and climate. And while they may not be leaving a school or friends, they are leaving a familiar community and routines that must be rebuilt in their new environment. ""Big Ernie's New Home"" gently affirms the normal sadness, anger, and anxiety that young children feel after a move. And as Big Ernie gradually discovers familiar comforts and exciting adventures in his new home, young readers may be encouraged to do the same in theirs. In an extensive Note to Parents, Dr. Jane Annunziata discusses the feelings that young children face when moving and offers a wealth of suggestions for smoothing their adjustment.

Lynne Cheney

A Patriotic Primer

America: A Patriotic Primer is a succinct history of the United States, an ABC of the principles on which this country was founded, and a book for children and families to pore over, discuss, and cherish.
A is for America,
the land that we love.
B is for the Birthday
of this country of ours....
To choose the twenty-six people and ideas that comprise the book, Lynne Cheney has drawn on a lifetime of learning about the American past, and on the inspiration that comes from witnessing recent history firsthand. Illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser imbues Mrs. Cheney's words with childlike joy through her exuberant drawings. Together they have created a patriotic primer, a book that teaches history by celebrating the diversity, tenacity, and faith of the American people.

This A to Z of America frames the story -- and the miracle -- of our country.

Eight Women in the Underground Church and Their Stories of Costly Faith

From Pakistan, India, Romania, the former Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, Nepal, and Indonesia, these women shared similar experiences of hardship and persecution--all for their faith in Christ--yet they have emerged from adversity as leaders and heroines."--Publisher's website.

Meet Angela-small-town-spiritual detective extraordinaire....

Angela Clarkson has always been intrigued by mysteries, but lately her life has turned into one mystery after another. Her friends in the horse club are giving up riding horses so they can ride around in cars and hang out at the mall. Angela's family doesn't seem to speak her language anymore, or maybe it's that she suddenly doesn't understand theirs. Her little brother and his crazy friend's weird obsessions are constantly starling her.

Then a mysterious stranger gains a powerful influence over her best friend; this stranger turns out to be at the center of a secret involving her little town-one that concerns the line drawn between heaven and hell. Angela and her friends get caught in the middle of a conflict between spiritual beings who are keepers of that secret. Her greatest mystery is solved when she learns the difference between an angel of light and an angel of lies.

The first in the Angel Lightnbsp; young adult fantasy series, each book leads readers to biblical answers to teen's spiritual questions, threading each issue through a different adventure story. This first book answers the question of where young people can find sure answers in a world that accepts anything spiritual, including crystals and mediums, as being valid ways to express "Christian"nbsp;faith.
