A Thanksgiving feast for age 8 and up!

Happy day before Thanksgiving … or maybe not so much for the old cat, who finds himself in a sticky situation with the wild turkeys running loose in the garden. As the little kitten watches the falling leaves through the window, the old cat’s hunting goes very bad. With some surprised gobbles here and some angry gobbles there, the turkeys teach the old hunter a good lesson: No matter how big you are, there’s always someone bigger.

This book is based on a true story that the little kitten and Mrs. D witnessed the day before Thanksgiving.

"Kitten's Stories Series" are beautifully illustrated children's books for early elementary school students and independent readers.

The Little Girl Praying on the Hill - Readers' Favorite International Gold Winner

"The Little Girl Praying on the Hill" is a bittersweet story based on the emotional childhood memories of a young girl determined to understand the purpose for her existence. Growing up in a poor village of the post-World War II era in a country where half the men drink themselves to death by the age of forty, the confused child questions God. The beauty of nature around her animates her and paints the perfect combination of colors, but life in her rundown village, sinking in mud after each rainfall, is a strong contrast. She exists between two worlds: her beautiful imagination and the harsh realities of life. The picture of majestic nature does not fit with the picture that God created for the people he loves. Why did he divide this world so unevenly? Why did he drop her in the wrong place? Her emotions rise to unreachable heights and sink to devastating lows. The gripping beauty of his creation mesmerizes her young mind, but only for a moment before her memories of specific events make her doubt God's intentions.
