  • Montana’s Child: A Memoir of Life in Big Sky Country

    Gwen Ellis

    language (Seaside Creative Services, May 28, 2015)
    In this warm-hearted sometimes hilarious sometimes poignant account, Gwen Ellis relates what it was like to grow up in Montana’s Big Sky country in the 1940s when houses had no electric dryers or dishwashers and many people burned wood and coal to keep warm and to cook. This is the story of self-made Montanans extracting game from the forests to feed their families, growing and preserving huge garden crops to carry them through brutally cold winters. Here you will experience the smell of metal that clung to smelter workers clothes when they returned from their shift each day. You’ll hear the bawl of calves and pounding of horses hooves as cowboys and ranchers care for their herds. And you’ll see the sky—the magnificent vault of clear blue big sky that seems to go on into eternity. She tells of air so crisp and clean it seems newly-minted. Hike beside her on woodland paths lined with bear grass throwing its huge white plumes into the summer breeze. Relive never-to-be-forgotten camping trips into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. From copper mines strikes that turn ugly to a major riot at the Montana State Prison located just blocks from her home to crazy kids’ stuff like making stew on a grander scale, capturing a live goose and insisting her parents bring it 600 miles home in a cage in the car. This is the story of homemade and homegrown people with fiercely independent spirits who fill the state of Montana with a powerful and creative can-do attitude that exists yet today. This is the story of a good life made exceptional by love.Gwen Ellis is a writer who considers herself deeply privileged to have grown up in Montana. While life has taken her many places, she still considers the Deer Lodge Valley in Montana her home. She currently lives in Old Hickory, Tennessee.

    The Story of Christmas from the Read and Share™ Bible is a colorful retelling of the birth of Christ and the events surrounding it. Based on the International Children’s Bible, this book begins with the birth of John the Baptist. Next comes the angel appearing first to Mary, then to Joseph, the trip to Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, the angel’s announcement to the shepherds, the wise men and their gifts, fleeing to Egypt, and at last heading home to Nazareth. The “Can You Retell the Story” activity at the end of the book is a fun way for children to learn to tell the story themselves.
