The Spirit’s Message
A Story About Living Kindly

by Beth Levine
Illustrated by Revers Lab

In a small village in a far-off land lived a young girl named Sara and her younger brother Justin. Today was a celebration: Sara turned thirteen, and as was the tradition in her village, she would travel into the nearby Magical Forest to receive a message from the Spirit of the Earth.

The seeker usually braved the forest alone, but because Sara and Justin were so close, they convinced her parents and the village elders to let them go together. Join the siblings as they embark on a mission into the Magical Forest, where they meet many of the woodland inhabitants and learn that the world around them is not what it may seem at first glance.

The duo is honored with the Spirit of the Earth’s most crucial message—but will they take it to heart? The Spirit’s Message is a tale of courage, hope, and kindness, brought to you through a journey of two young souls; it is a wonderful and purpose-filled read for ages eight through adulthood.

Jack O’Lantern:
Life Cycle Series Book 3

Laura W. Eckroat
Illustrated by Greg White

“I wasn’t always a brilliant orange with a hint of yellow, a globe with a perfectly curved stem. I came from very humble beginnings.

“My first memory was of a man named John, walking through a field whistling and gently placing a small part of me into the cool, damp earth. In fact, he planted hundreds just like me into the soil, and we disappeared, leaving the field looking barren. We waited and waited for the right time to reappear. Then it happened…!”

Follow Jack O’Lantern on his journey from tiny seed to big and beautiful orange pumpkin. See the world through the “eyes” of Jack as he grows and finally leaves the pumpkin patch for his own adventure. The Life Cycle Series books, including The Life of Bud and Daisy, are engaging tools for classroom or individual reading, and perfect for ages 8 and up. Includes a fun lesson for home or school, too!
