The Mountain That Found Its...

Aldous Heaf, Amanda Hill

Dedicated to the glaciers, streams, and wild places that sustain us all. 
Location: Rocky Mountains, USA 
High above the clouds, where the air is crisp and the world feels endless, two best friends—Kiko the pika and Miri the marmot—welcome the magic of spring. Their mountain is alive with rushing streams, swaying wildflowers, and the hum of creatures big and small. It has always been their playground, their home. 
But this spring feels different. The streams are quieter. The glacier is shrinking. Something is changing. 
Determined to understand what’s happening, Kiko and Miri set off on a journey to the mountain’s heart—the great glacier itself. Along the way, they meet a wise eagle, who shares a truth they never expected: the mountain’s strength isn’t just in the ice and rock—it’s in the creatures that call it home. 
Now, Kiko and Miri must find a way to bring the mountain back to life. But how can two small friends make a difference in something so vast? 
The answer may be closer than they think. And the mountain is listening.

As they try to find their way back, they’ll face many perils—a massive storm, deadly predators, a formidable enemy army—and discover new strengths in themselves and in each other. But they’ll need every ounce of bravery, creativity, and cooperation they can muster—if they’re going to survive.

Martin Luther

Simonetta Carr

2017 Illumination Book Award winner. Five hundred years ago, a monk named Martin Luther wrote ninety-five questions, hoping to start a discussion about sin and repentance at the University of Wittenberg in Germany. In a few months those questions had stirred the nation; a few years later, the continent. Today we know that those questions changed the course of both the Western church and world history. In this volume for children, Simonetta Carr tells the compelling story of this father of the Protestant Reformation, tracing his quest for peace with God, his lifelong heroic stand for God's truth, and his family life and numerous accomplishments. The Reformer's greatest accomplishment, she writes, 'has been his uncompromising emphasis on the free promise of the gospel.' Table of Contents: Introduction 1. From Law Student to Monk 2. Looking for Peace with God 3. A Powerful List 4. A Reluctant Rebel 5. Starting a Reformation 6. Raising a Family 7. Ready to Die in the Lord Time Line Did You Know? Series Description The Christian Biographies for Young Readers introduces children to important people in the Christian tradition. Parents and school teachers alike will welcome the excellent educational value it provides for students, while the quality of the publication and the artwork make each volume a keepsake for generations to come. Furthermore, the books in the series go beyond the simple story of someone's life by teaching young readers the historical and theological relevance of each character.

Bradley T. Morris

In Grumpy Town, where frowns hold sway, 
Grown-ups and screens disallow play. 
But one auspicious day, the power went down. 
Laughter returns, and fun is found.

As toots and laughter set everyone free. 
A tale for our times spun in a silly way. 
So dive in and listen to Grumpy Town today!
