Have you ever wondered what pillowcases talk about during the day? Or why cottonwood poplars shed pollen like snow? Or how forest elves might solve their central heating problems? Cloud-slides and stars, dipped in dandelion, will delight readers of all ages in the happily imaginative, gently fantastical tales of Jacquelyn Wilson’s collection. From mythical natural history to magical computer communication, with cops and robbers, duckbills and trees, and, of course, Elves, Bikes, and Unicorns, these stories (and even one poem) are perfect for sharing with kids, inspiring and rewarding imagination with their nicely different points of view and natural characters (yes, even natural pillowcases) and humor.
Dan Harris can’t escape death.
The death of his son. The impending death of his marriage. The gruesome murder of a strange man in the Bahamas.
Still reeling from tragedy, Dan heads to the Bahamas to focus on his next book about the cholera epidemic that devastated the Hope Town settlement in the 1850s. While on a research excursion, he and Cat, the local librarian, stumble on a decomposing body. Dan immediately becomes the primary suspect in the man’s murder.
You’ve lost your son. Your marriage is on the edge. You’re alone on an island, surrounded by strangers, accused of a murder you didn’t commit.
Do you struggle to hear the voice of God? Do you you want to improve your ability to hear God’s voice? God wants to talk with you!
I used to think that seeing was believing, but now, as I struggle to stay alive below the ravine, I begin to realize that – good or bad – I will see whatever I believe.
