  Snow Steps

  $18.99

  Celebrate the tenacity of the human spirit with this moving picture book about Lakshmi, a young girl who learns to brave a snowy Minnesota winter after immigrating from tropical Guyana.

  Lakshmi just moved from rural, sunny Guyana to a city in icy, frigid Minnesota. Her family is trying hard to adjust to a new country, but for Lakshmi, the hardest part is the cold, slushy, white stuff everywhere. Snow didn’t exist in Guyana, but it’s inescapable in Minnesota. Lakshmi’s too scared to walk in it, so her mama has to carry her everywhere. But when she meets a new friend on the bus, Lakshmi’s fears melt away, revealing a bravery she didn’t know she had.

  Based on the author’s own childhood experience of immigration, Snow Steps fosters empathy for newcomers and provides reassuring comfort to children facing new experiences.

  Chronicles Of Wonder

  $12.99

  Chronicles of Wonder tells the story of the imaginative boy born in Ireland who loved books and poetry and grew himself to be a famous teacher and writer. But before he penned The Space Trilogy or The Chronicles of Narnia, Clive Staples Lewis found friends in other stories, including tales from Beatrix Potter, The Wind and the Willows, Phantastes by George MacDonald, and The Pilgrim’s Progress.

  In this fictionalized biography, author Leah Boden intertwines the life of Lewis–or as his friends knew him, “Jack”–with literary works that impacted him. From Shakespeare to his close friend Tolkien, each chapter takes you through the life of Jack and the works that steadied and guided him.

  Readers travel through Jack’s boarding school days, The Great War, and his professorship at Oxford. They learn when Jack came to trust in Jesus and how he then became a voice for the Christian world. As each chapter unfolds, young readers are encouraged by the creativity, wisdom, and humility of Jack, while gaining an appreciation for the heart shaping power of books.

On the last page of the book, kids will discover their own reflection in an inset mirror surrounded by an illustrated frame announcing that they are God’s masterpiece!

  Our God makes us one of a kind!
  You’re priceless, don’t you see
  Because there is no other you
  and there is no other me!
