Sinopse

In "The Pioneer Boys on the Great Lakes," St. George Rathborne crafts a vivid portrayal of youthful adventure and resilience amid the historical backdrop of the Great Lakes region. Employing a captivating narrative style that blends historical accuracy with a flair for storytelling, Rathborne immerses readers in the lives of two boys navigating the waters and challenges of the early American frontier. This work exemplifies the genre of juvenile fiction in the late 19th century, reflecting themes of exploration, bravery, and friendship, while providing a nuanced understanding of the socio-economic conditions of the time. St. George Rathborne, a prolific author with a penchant for tales of adventure, was deeply influenced by the romanticized notions of pioneer life and exploration that characterized his era. His own experiences and interests in the natural world coupled with an understanding of the historical significance of the Great Lakes served as fertile ground for this narrative. Rathborne aims to entertain while also instilling a sense of moral integrity and courage, traits essential for the young characters in his stories. Ideal for young readers and adults alike, "The Pioneer Boys on the Great Lakes" offers a delightful escape into a bygone era, encouraging a spirit of adventure and a love for nature. Rathborne'Äôs rich prose and engaging characters make this book a must-read for those who appreciate historical fiction and narratives that inspire courage and camaraderie.

    "Let me say at the outset that this book is not about Bear (he would be spoken of in the singular and masculine, capitalized and without an article), or it is only incidentally about him. I am less interested in defining the being of Bear than in trying to understand something about the spirit of wilderness, of which Bear is a very particular expression . . . Bear is a template of the wilderness."—from the Introduction

    In Sammy and His Shepherd, veteran children’s writer Susan Hunt takes youngsters on a delightful trip through Psalm 23 from the point of view of a sheep named Sammy.Sammy lives happily under the care of his faithful shepherd. But one day he meets a sheep from another flock, one who lives in misery because her shepherd is not so caring. Eventually, to the delight of both of them, Sammy’s shepherd buys the needy little sheep for his flock and gives her a name―Precious. Thereafter, Sammy tells Precious all the wonderful things about their shepherd. At first, Precious has a hard time believing that the shepherd can be so good. But eventually, as she sees the shepherd pouring out his energies for the good of his flock, she comes to trust him, for she sees that he loves his sheep unconditionally and sacrificially.Each chapter of Sammy and His Shepherd is an exploration of a passage from Psalm 23. As they work through the book, children will grow in their understanding of the metaphors the psalmist used in composing this beloved poem. But more important, they will gain a deeper appreciation for the one who is the subject of the psalm: the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Captivating illustrations by Corey Godbey help Sammy and Precious come to life for children. A special section in the back of the book provides Bible passages, discussion questions, and activities to reinforce the lessons of each chapter.
