  From the award-winning author of ALL THE BROKEN PIECES and SERAFINA'S PROMISE comes a new novel-in-verse that is a gripping, transcendent story about a little-known piece of slave history.Grace has grown up in slavery. As difficult as life on the Virginia plantation is, at least she has her family: Momma, her younger brothers, Thomas and Willy, Aunt Sara, and Uncle Jim. When she overhears Master and Mistress plotting to sell her brothers, she and her family decide to run away that same night. But without time to plan their escape and go north along the Underground Railroad, their only choice is to head deep into the woods of the Dismal Swamp--a remote wilderness, filled with wild animals; daily searches for food, water, and shelter; and the ever present anxiety of being caught.Historians have recently discovered evidence of the Dismal Swamp, and a community of slaves who sought refuge there. Ann Burg's unflinching story, written in her signature luminous verse, sheds light on this little-known story and the courage of a people who risked everything for the chance to be free.

  Kindness Pencil is a children's book about the power of words. 
  It revolves around a pencil that has the magical power 
  to see the positive side in every situation that happens. 
  It can never write negative or bad words. 
  This book emphasizes on the power of the two words ‘Thank You’. 
  Often, children don’t see the positive side in situations, 
  and tend to feel disappointed when things don’t go their way. 
  But, this book exposes a whole new world of opportunity, 
  where your child will see the positive side in every situation. 
  Kindness Pencil conveys the key message of love and positive attitude. 
  It will help encourage your children to be thankful for everyday events that are taken for granted. 
  I sincerely hope that the words and pretty illustrations in Kindness Pencil will bring you joy, 
  encouragement and hope. The best book for raising grateful children.
