War in the Ring presents a riveting nonfiction book for kids about a boxing match that represented the growing tensions between the United States and Nazi Germany in the lead up to World War II.Joe Louis was born on an Alabama cotton patch and raised in a Detroit ghetto. Max Schmeling grew up in poverty in Hamburg, Germany. For both boys, boxing was a path out and a ladder up. Little did they know that they would one day face each other in a pair of matches that would capture the world's attention.

Santiago!
A graphic novel retelling of the inspiring true story of polymath Santiago Ram籀n y Cajal, visionary pioneer of modern neuroscience, and his early dreams of becoming an artist. Based on a true story, Santiago Ram籀n y Cajal is every child who has struggled to navigate the expectations of adults. As a young boy, all Santiago wanted to do was be an artist. But his father wanted him to become a doctor, insisting that pursuing art was not a true profession. Although Santiago was forbidden by his parents to make art, Santiago secretly kept at it--making homemade paints and brushes and honing his craftsmanship. He also loved figuring out how things worked and made slingshots for his friends and even a fully functioning (and very dangerous) cannon. Sadly, the one thing he couldn't figure out was his father. After years of locking horns, Santiago's father seemed to win, and Santiago was sent to medical school. As a medical student he discovered the wonders of how animal bodies work, and his studies eventually led him to the microscopic mysteries of the brain. Using the artistic skills he honed as a child, Santiago painted brain cells to unlock their secrets. His pursuit of art had trained him to be observant, persistent, resourceful, and creative in his research. In 1906, he won the Nobel Prize for medicine and is considered the father of modern neuroscience--proving anything is possible, even for a mischief maker.

Willy Not Good
One day, while my family and I were traveling, we came to a river that needed to be crossed by ferry. My son, Cooper, who was five or six years old at the time, saw that the ferry was actually closed that day and, from the back seat, said, "Daddy, that is weally, weally not good." From his hysterical observation came the idea of a story about a boy named Willy Not Good who never would do what a good boy should.So Willy Not Good tells the story of a young mischievous boy who has to learn the hard way that when God's Word says to "obey your parents," there's a reason for it. Because of his history of not listening or obeying, he has earned the nickname Willy Not Good.Based on some of the real-life misadventures of my son, Cooper, Willy Not Good is ultimately a fun way to present not only the gospel to your kids but also the importance of obeying you as their loving parent. My prayer is that you enjoy reading it to your little ones as much as I enjoyed writing it.
