Books with author Duane Houston

A beautifully illustrated fairy tale about the origin of the tooth fairy and how it came to be that children put their lost teeth under their pillow at night in exchange for money from the tooth fairy. This book has wonderful images, subtle underlying morals and will be fun for parents and children alike. The book comes with a tooth chart in the back to record when a child has lost a tooth and how much fairy treasure they received.

The Canadian Arctic - a frozen land where bone-chilling winds and negative forty degree temperatures can last for days on end. Matthew and Kayak are familiar with the territory, and they plan carefully before they set out on their secret snowmobile search - a search for Matthew's missing father. But when the boys become stranded, every minute is a struggle for survival. Based in part on a true story, "Frozen Fire" vividly depicts the traditional Eskimo way of life. It is a story about wisdom, hope, and the will to survive.
