  From the snake in the Garden of Eden to the lost sheep in Luke' s parable, stories about fish and birds, rams and goats abound. We read about them, but they have no voice of their own.  Here we allow the raven and the dove on Noah' s ark, the big fish that swallowed Jonah, and the donkey on which Balaam rode, to be the narrators of their own stories, to inform us and help us to re-imagine our stories. We learn something about the intrinsic value of all living beings, and something about ourselves.

  You Risk Your Life by Joseph Slotkin - This was the audience participation show that couldn’t be topped!  
  When the Broadcasters Association of Democracy Inc. telecast its first nationwide surgi-drama in color, Pat Price, who was watching the screen across the mahogany in the Wish-A-Wile Bar on Wilshire near Vermont, got a brainstorm that came close to revolutionizing the scientific outlook, and certainly did make show business history. 
  Pat Price was one of the sharpest promoters in the Hollywood public relations game. He was in the Wilshire Boulevard bar mooning around for inspiration for a kinescoped show he was building up into a package, when he saw the sheeted anesthetized body as the telelens saw it. 
  Then he saw it as his miasmatic Muse saw it.

  Second Childhood by Clifford D. Simak - Achieving immortality is only half of the problem. The other half is knowing how to live with it once it's been made possible—and inescapable! 
  You did not die. 
  There was no normal way to die. 
  You lived as carelessly and as recklessly as you could and you hoped that you would be lucky and be accidentally killed. 
  You kept on living and you got tired of living. 
  "God, how tired a man can get of living!" Andrew Young said. 
  John Riggs, chairman of the immortality commission, cleared his throat. 
  "You realize," he said to Andrew Young, "that this petition is a highly irregular procedure to bring to our attention." 
  He picked up the sheaf of papers off the table and ruffled through them rapidly. 
  "There is no precedent," he added. 
  "I had hoped," said Andrew Young, "to establish precedent." 
  Commissioner Stanford said, "I must admit that you have made a good case, Ancestor Young. Yet you must realize that this commission has no possible jurisdiction over the life of any person, except to see that everyone is assured of all the benefits of immortality and to work out any kinks that may show up." 
  "I am well aware of that," answered Young, "and it seems to me that my case is one of the kinks you mention." 
  He stood silently, watching the faces of the members of the board. They are afraid, he thought. Every one of them. Afraid of the day they will face the thing I am facing now. They have sought an answer and there is no answer yet except the pitifully basic answer, the brutally fundamental answer that I have given them. 
  "My request is simple," he told them, calmly. "I have asked for permission to discontinue life."

  A heartfelt middle grade story about changing friendships, peer pressure, and the courage to speak up when lines are crossed, perfect for fans of Starfish and Finally Heard.  Sophie Valentine would rather be at home, doing school virtually.

First, Eve stops walking to school with her in the morning. Then, she’s ditching Sophie to hang out with the Crash Crew, a group of popular kids notorious for their social media dares. Eve seems to fit right in, but Sophie is devastated: Did she just lose her best friend?    When rumors surface that Eve is hiding a painful secret she didn’t share with Sophie, Sophie is spurred on an investigation to discover what—or who—caused the incident behind Eve’s sudden change...and why all clues lead back to the Crash Crew. Using lessons from her forensics class and the help of a new friend, Sophie will have to uncover the truth before more harm is done.

  Finding your place in the world can be hard. But if you ask enough questions... you can make a place just right for you! 
    
  Hector is a very curious young owl. He wants to know everything about his nest, his tree, and the forest around him. Mother and Father Owl answer his questions the best that they can, but not every question is easy to answer. "Why are we different from the other birds?" he asks Mother Owl. When Father Owl asks if he is ready to find a mate, Hector replies he decidedly is not! There is simply too much to learn! There are questions to ask, adventures to be had, and humans to observe. And all the while, Hector must learn the most important lesson of all: what is his place in this forest he calls home? 
    
  How Wise Old Owl Got His Name, part one in the Lessons with Wise Old Owl series, includes beautiful illustrations created by oil landscape painter Sandra Difazio and a glossary of phonetics and definitions for key words such as "perch", "nocturnal", and "valley". This book will encourage readers to embrace self-acceptance and to explore the world around them.
