Books with author Marc Joel Levitt

Johnny Appleseed's real name was John Chapman, a native of Massachusetts who lived from 1774 to 1845. It is known that he wandered for 40 years through Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana sowing apple seeds, staying one step ahead of the pioneer movement in order to sell seedlings to those who traveled through. Chapman was known for his humanitarian values: his cheerfulness, generosity, and most of all, his respect for, and nearly mystical relationship with, nature. It is these qualities which storyteller Marc Joel Levitt captures in his stories and relays with resonance, humor, and conviction. For Ages 6 to Adult.
