  An inspiring memoir of one of the most acclaimed children’s book illustrators of all time, sharing the story of a young artist who finds the courage to follow his passion against all odds. Jerry’s vivid recollections and lively sketchbook drawings of his youth in postwar America tell an inspiring story of how a hardworking boy pursued his passion in less-than-ideal circumstances and became a legendary artist against all odds. The audiobook includes a PDF of the sketches found in the book -- composed in a way that differs from Jerry’s intention but still captures his goal. Jerry Pinkney drew everywhere, all the time. It was how he made sense of the world—how he coped with the stress of being a sensitive child growing up in crowded spaces, struggling with a learning disability, in a time when the segregation of Black Americans was the norm. Only drawing could offer him a sense of calm, control, and confidence. When friends and siblings teased him about having the nickname “Jerry” as his only name, his mother always said, “Just ‘Jerry’ is enough. He’ll make something of that name someday.” And so he did, eventually becoming one of the most celebrated children’s book illustrators of all time and paving the way for countless other Black artists.

  Tycho Zeling is drifting through his life. Everything in it – school, friends, girls, plans for the future – just kind of . happens. Like a movie he presses play on, but doesn't direct. 
   
  So Tycho decides to break away from everything. He flies to America to spend his summer as a counselor at a summer camp, for international kids. It is there that Oliver walks in, another counselor, from Norway. 
   
  And it is there that Tycho feels his life stop, and begin again, finally, as his. 
   
  The Days of Bluegrass Love was originally published in the Netherlands in 1999. It was a groundbreaking book and has since become a beloved classic throughout Europe, but has never been translated into English. Here, for the first time, it is masterfully presented to American readers – a tender, intense, unforgettable story of first love.

  Warning From the Stars - It...

  Warning From the Stars by Ron Cocking - Don't believe in flying saucers? Neither do we, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there can be no other way for Earth to get its last.... Warning From the Stars 
  It was a beautifully machined container, shaped like a two pound chocolate candy box, the color and texture of lead. The cover fitted so accurately that it was difficult to see where it met the lip on the base. 
  Yet when Forster lifted the container from the desk in the security guards' office, he almost hit himself in the face with it, so light was it. 
  He read the words clumsily etched by hand into the top surface with some sharp instrument: 
  TO BE OPENED ONLY BY: 
  Dr. Richard Forster, 
  Assistant Director, 
  Air Force Special Research Center, 
  Petersport, Md. 
  CAUTION: Open not later than 
  24 hours after receipt. 
  DO NOT OPEN in atmosphere less than equivalent of 65,000 feet above M.S.L. 
  He turned the container over and over. It bore no other markings—no express label or stamps, no file or reference number, no return address. 
  It was superbly machined, he saw. 
  Tentatively he pulled at the container cover, it was as firm as if it had been welded on. But then, if the cover had been closed in the thin atmosphere of 65,000 feet, it would be held on by the terrific pressure of a column of air twelve miles high. 
  Forster looked up at the burly guard. 
  "Who left this here?" 
  "Your guess is as good as mine, sir." The man's voice was as close to insolence as the difference in status would allow, and Forster bristled.
