  A New Orleans boy has an opportunity to ride on a Mardi Gras float—but will fear and worry rain on his parade? D.J. can’t believe his luck—he has the chance to dress up and ride in a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade! But while he looks forward to participating in the popular Zulu parade on Fat Tuesday, dressed as a page to the queen of Zulus, he starts to worry. What will his costume be? What about the makeup he’ll have to wear? What if he falls off the float?  Like any child thrown into a new situation, young D.J. finds that it can be quite overwhelming. This book answers many questions children have about the customs and traditions of their own heritage in a way they can understand and relate to—and helps them recognize their own fears and worries in D.J.’s story.  Based on the experiences of Denise McConduit’s son, who actually rode in the Zulu Parade, this tale of coping with anxiety and embarking on adventure is both entertaining and inspirational, and is filled with the celebratory spirit of Mardi Gras.

  There’s room for faith and flying reindeers in this festive book that explains the religious roots of Christmas to Santa. 
   
  Christmas is one of the most important holidays celebrated in most countries around the world, yet the true origin of this special day is often missed. Almost everyone equates Santa Claus and the giving of gifts with Christmas, but what event was the catalyst behind this centuries-old tradition? This delightfully illustrated children’s story is sure to become a tradition for you and your family as the holiday rolls around each year. Christmas is a special time of celebration and one in which we have time to reflect on what is most important. 
   
  “I believe this book [does] a great basic job of telling the story of the birth of Jesus to Santa. I think this story would be easy for a child to understand as well as an adult. Maybe a great story to tell a new believer or someone that doesn’t know about Jesus’s birth.” —Courageous Christian Father

  “A delightful book for young readers about the greatest artist and storyteller of the old American West.” —Raphael James Cristy, author of Charles M. Russell: The Storyteller’s Art   Charles Marion Russell was the first artist to live most of his life in the West, sketching and painting not only from live subjects, but from actual experience. Becoming a frontiersman at a young age in 1880, he rode and worked with horses on a daily basis, something that no other Western artist had done before. This biography for children is the first of its kind about Russell, and the subject’s own vibrant paintings illustrate his life story. It follows Russell from his school days through adulthood and reveals how he held on to his dreams, living out a child’s cowboy fantasy. Charlie Russell not only wanted to experience the West, he wanted to replicate it. It took years of hard work and determination to land a job as a cattleman and longer still for him to master his artistic talents. Through stories, paintings, and clay, wax, and bronze figures, he was able to capture that rare spirit of the region and pass it along to others. He became a famous artist, author, outdoorsman, environmentalist, storyteller, and beloved Western figure—and today, thousands of his paintings, sculptures, and drawings are held in the C. M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana. This book pays tribute to a great Western artist, encouraging every young cowboy to live out his dreams.   “Chock-full of some of his most memorable paintings of the American West . . . A simple but lively text.” —The Bellingham Herald
