THE TWO BROTHERSonce upon a time there lived two brothers, who, when they were children, were so seldom apart that those who saw one always looked for the other at his heels.But when they had grown to manhood, and the time had come when they must make their own fortunes, the elder brother said to the younger:"Choose as you will what you shall do, and God bless your choice; but as for me I shall make haste to the court of the king, for nothing will satisfy me but to serve him and my country."

Smart Pets teaches children that they are special and smart for many different reasons. Each and every “Smart Pet” is celebrated for what makes them unique. What makes you unique?Lindsay Marti is a self-taught painter and the mom of twin girls, Lucy and Zoey. She originally painted the illustrations in Smart Pets to decorate the walls of their incubator in the neonatal intensive care unit, while Lucy and Zoey did a bit more growing before coming home. In the unit, these animated paintings served as fun conversation starters between the hospital staff and fellow parents. Lindsay and her husband, David, connected with several families whose children also arrived in the world a little too early. It was then that Lindsay decided to name the characters in the book after the babies they met in the hospital, writing captions alongside the images to ultimately produce a heartfelt book called Smart Pets. The paintings were created with high-contrast colours to make them easier for newborn and premature babies to see. With every book sold, a portion of proceeds will be donated to Surrey Memorial Hospital and Royal Columbian Hospital in British Columbia, Canada.

Maud Lindsay's Silverfoot takes place in the South during the American Civil War. Unlike most war stories, this story is told from the viewpoint of three young girls. The girls are staying with their grandmother and aunts, while their fathers, uncles, and older male cousins are away fight the war. While their older cousin is away fighting the war, he leaves his prize horse, Silverfoot, in their care, with the charge to keep Silverfoot away from the Yankees. The girls have many exciting adventures, and endure many hardships. The story accurately depicts what life was like for many in the South during the war, but in a manner suited for children.

Once upon a time there lived two brothers, who, when they were children, were so seldom apart that those who saw one always looked for the other at his heels. But when they had grown to manhood, and the time had come when they must make their own fortunes, the elder brother said to the younger: "Choose as you will what you shall do, and God bless your choice; but as for me I shall make haste to the court of the king, for nothing will satisfy me but to serve him and my country." "Good fortune and a blessing go with you," said the younger brother. "I, too, should like to serve my country and the king, but I have neither words nor wit for a king's court. To hammer a shoe from the glowing iron while the red fire roars and the anvil rings—this is the work that I do best, and I shall be a blacksmith, even as my father was before me."
