Summary

Young shepherd Ben is annoyed by the crowds of people flocking to Bethlehem. Little does he know that his small act of kindness in a big crowd will prepare his heart for a life-changing event. What will Ben see on this day before Christmas? And who will he meet at the end of it? This heartwarming, read-aloud Nativity story brings first-century Bethlehem to life through rhythm and rhyme inspired by the classic Christmas poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” by Clement Clarke Moore. Ponder the miracle of Christmas through the eyes of young Ben, whose small act of compassion leads to an unforgettable encounter with the Son of God. Dramatic illustrations by Erin Nielsen recreate the original wonder of that first Christmas night for a story your family will cherish year after year.

    What do you get if you add a beaker full of STEAM + a sprinkle of mischief + a heaping dose of humor? Kinzie's Kinventions of course! 
    Recommended for ages 6-9, this chapter book series will appeal to the readers of Junie B. Jones. 
    The whole class is going on a field trip to the zoo! But too bad for classroom rivals Kinzie and Ben. Neither of them can go thanks to getting—and sharing—pink eye. To make it even worse, Ben’s mom can’t take off from work, which means Ben has to come to Kinzie’s house for the day. And there’s no time to make a Kinvention to stop that. Kinzie and Ben decide if they can’t go on the field trip, maybe they can create their own backyard zoo instead. What could possibly go wrong with that great idea?

    Three Wise Cats is an inspirational tale about three cats and their journey to witness the first Christmas. The old Siamese Ptolemy was alongside his master when a star of unusual brightness was seen in the heavens, indicating an event of momentous significance, and leading to a great place and fulfill the prophecy: The three shall find the one. The three are, Abishag - a sturdy, reliable cat who has never shirked her duty; Kezia - a beautiful young tabby, delicate, a bit vain, but of good heart; and Ira - taller and stronger than the others, with a temper.
    Accompanying them is a fourth traveler - the rat, Asmodeus, who can hear of no glorious thing without wanting to spoil it. Together, the unlikely band will cover many miles, and have many dangerous adventures. And finally they will come to a far land, where the star bends close to the earth over a humble stable.

    With perfect pitch and fierce persistence, Amy Beach always knew she had to make music. There was just one big problem. Her mother believed it was not proper or suitable for a young lady to draw attention to herself, let alone have a musical career. But give in or give up? Not Amy Beach. She demanded to play the piano. She demanded to have a real teacher. She demanded to perform. Luckily—for the world!—Amy’s persistence paid off. At just 16 years of age, Amy Beach found herself on the stage of Boston’s Music Hall—and the start of a brilliant career. A female composer who paved the way—perfectly!
