A Tale of Paddlewick
Paddlewick and Prim Penelope, two tiny deer mice, are truly thrilled about their journey to the chapel, Minster Leith, to hear the stories of Jesus. Quietly, the two mice leave their families, who doze in chewed cheesecloth and Irish linen nests high up in the walls of the attic inside the creaky old manor of Grey Fox Farm.They sought no wise counsel, and soon the mice, being very ill-prepared, quickly learned danger that lurked all around them. Under deep forest canopies of twisted twigs and limbs, the two childlike mice scurry down broken stone carriage roads, swam across babbling streams, and most dreadfully right into the claws of enemies. Will the two mice perish, or will they live to tell their stories of paths dusted with humble pie, jumpy jitters, and surrendering secrets? But not all is grim. Paddlewick and Prim Penelope stumble upon the strangest adventure that ever happened to a mouse.

The Joy of Being Me, a Tree
The Joy of Being Me, a Tree is inspired by a grand ole maple tree rooted at the entrance of our church's youth center. The tree's low limbs and long reach have invited generations of all ages to gather beneath her canopy and explore in her branches. In the comfort of her shade, adults lose themselves in conversation while watching their children circle up into her limbs, and youth cluster to mingle in the brinks of her shadow. Her essential role becomes clear as budding friendships blossom and community connections grow. Wondering what the tree would say if given an opportunity to tell her story, Susan Plenge gives this maple a voice to express her joy as she discovers her purpose in serving others where she has been planted.Come celebrate your purpose! As reflective as the servant's heart in The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein and with the confidence in I'm Gonna Like Me, by Jamie Lee Curtis, The Joy of Being Me, a Tree captures the joy of discovering and embracing who we are called to be where we are planted. Intended to be a fun and imaginative read, the story of the tree comes to life through colorful words and illustrations. The Joy of Being Me captures the magical experience of a child first learning to climb a tree and the nostalgia felt by adults as they remember the sticky, sappy fingers and the fresh smell of leaves.
