Books with author James Thomas

A beautifully illustrated picture story about how a boy, Sneezy Jeff Maroon, can’t stop sneezing, no matter where he goes. “Achoo.” Dust, cats, pollen, dogs, ragweed, grass, mold, hay—you name it, it all causes him to sneeze. But with the help of his mother, he discovers that he has allergies and learns about some ways to help relieve his conditions. It’s a fun story that helps to explain the simple side of common allergies. Recommended for reading ages 3-7 years.

James Thomas Fletcher enlisted in the United States Army on Saint Patrick’s Day, 1969. He was an M-60 machine gunner in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.Fletcher's previous books of poetry all contain poems that touch on war to some degree, from the Trojan War through the World Wars to Vietnam and beyond. Those poems hint at psychic wounds, at displaced lives, at Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and at the helplessness of survivors. Those previous poems have been collected and combined here with new poems which deal more directly with the author's military service.
