  Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit. 
  It loved hopping around the soft green grass and nibbling on fresh, crunchy carrots. 
  The sun was shining, and birds chirped in the trees. Everything felt just right. 
  The rabbit wiggled its nose happily and munched on a big orange carrot. 
  That’s when it noticed someone sitting quietly under a tree. 
  The rabbit paused, ears perked up. 
  It looked closer… and slowly began to hop in that direction. 
  The wind rustled the leaves as the rabbit took a deep breath and made a choice. 
  Something special was about to happen…

  family are wrestling with monumental changes taking place at the end of 1959.  
  The world is at odds with the Soviet Union, and the Honeycutts are worried about

  way to what he believes is right. Jackie’s journey begins when he bumps into  
  Thomas Freeman fishing on the riverbank. He hopes the two of them can be  
  friends, but he quickly learns that racial inequalities and Jackie’s own behaviors  
  make the prospect of friendship challenging.  
  Amid community pushback to racial integration, bullying at school, and turmoil  
  within his family, Jackie struggles to free both his conscience and his voice and to  
  secure his friendship with Thomas.

  Or Darwin, If You Prefer by Mel Hunter - Mr. Harbinger could not quite believe in the Mouth. But poor Mr. Harbinger—or Darwin, if you prefer—are gone to other times. 
  Here’s what Fantastic Universe had to say about Mel Hunter, “Mr. Hunter's superb art work has appeared on a baker's dozen science fiction magazine covers during the past year, but incredible as it may seem with this story we introduce him to the reading public for the first time as a science fiction writer. We say incredible, because this is not a beginner's story. It is sparkling, sophisticated, erudite—the work of a craftsman.” 
  This is the first time we have come across an illustrator turned author. And here’s the amazing thing, he wasn’t any old illustrator, Mel Hunter was a very accomplished illustrator producing illustrations for famous science fiction authors Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, as well as a technical and scientific illustrator for The Pentagon, Hayden Planetarium in Boston, and the Massachusetts Audubon Society. 
  Hunter was born in 1927 in Oak Park, Illinois and he taught himself book and magazine illustration. He was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist in 1960, 1961 and 1962. He became a technical illustrator at Northrop Aircraft where he painted illustrations of advanced aircraft and simulated combat scenarios. 
  His love of air and space took him from California's desert runways to Florida's seacoast launchpads to illustrate every variety of jet-age aircraft and space-age rocket imaginable—from the X-15 to Saturn V. He died in 2004 and according to his final wish, his cremated remains were launched into space on May 22, 2012. 
  Savor this story, immerse yourself in it, and listen to it as many times as your heart desires—for it stands alone, as the singular science fiction story ever penned by Mel Hunter.
