  Princess Natalia lives in the Kingdom of Colour where she balances nature to make sure her people have enough of everything.
  One day she saves a sapphire bird from choking on white goods. Not native to her own kingdom, the presence of the bird threatens their balance. Natalia begins a quest to return the bird to the other side of the Velvet Vines, the mysterious curtain separating the Kingdom of Colour and the world beyond. She takes the nastiest creature in her realm, Rizzle, to help keep the balance. Natalia is shocked by the despair she discovers outside her own kingdom. She enters a kingdom ruled by a gluttonous enchantress called Millenia who has enslaved her people. Princess Natalia must avoid entrapment by the fireflies, save Rizzle from the brink of death and return the white goods to the baker. Realising the people enslaved by Millenia have little, if anything, to call their own, Natalia knows she cannot continue her own comfortable life while ignoring their plight. With the help of colour, a little magic, Rizzle, the baker and her dearest lion cub, Princess Natalia sets out to bring happiness to this new kingdom. When you have everything and others have nothing, restoring the balance is always the right thing to do.

  The remarkable true-life story of one of the greatest pioneers - and women - in American history. Known as Stagecoach Mary, Mary Fields was born into slavery in the late 1800s in Tennessee. A tall, sturdy girl by the age of 14, Mary was ordered to work in the cotton fields performing heavy labor with boys and men. After the 13th amendment was proclaimed, ending slavery, Mary worked a variety of jobs including chambermaid on a steamboat and as a helping hand at a convent in Ohio and later at a missionary school in the dangerous Montana territory. She then became the second woman, and the first African American woman, to be hired as a U.S. Postal worker, earning her the name of Stagecoach Mary. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Mary's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her compelling story, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
