Thirteen-year-old Raspberry Hill is always scheming about ways to make money. She's starved for the green stuff, and will do just about anything legal to get it-wash cars, sell rotten candy, skip lunch, and clean houses. She is obsessed with making money, having money, smelling money, and touching money. Raspberry is determined that she and her momma will never be homeless again. When they are approved for a Section 8 move to a nice house in Pecan Landings, Raspberry thinks things are looking up.

Playful, tender, and wise, I'm Hungry Said the Donkey by new Christian children's author Marcia Harden examines the true meaning of the holiday season in this rendition of what happened that night in Bethlehem. A charming literary treat for young children learning about Christmas, this moo-ving narrative follows a conversation between the donkey that Mary rode and a cow that was happily munching away the cold, starry night in his stable. In this joyful introduction to the birth of Jesus, "away in the manger" comes alive with vivid illustrations and Harden's lyrical, lighthearted prose. As the cow insists the donkey moo-ve over, even the youngest children will delight in the stable animals' antics and be wowed at how they joined together in awe-struck harmony as Baby Jesus made his way into the world.
