"Highway's text has a graceful simplicity, evoking the deep pleasure of brothers at play in a serene, remote setting." -- Horn Book "At once a celebration of heritage, the wilderness and imagination, this book is a breath of fresh northern air." -- Kirkus Reviews Dragonfly Kites is a brilliant evocation of the very essence of childhood as Thomson Highway weaves a deceptively simple story about the power of the imagination. Joe and Cody, two young Cree brothers, along with their parents and their little dog Ootsie, are spending the summer by one of the hundreds of lakes in northern Manitoba. Summer means a chance to explore the world and make friends with an array of creatures. But what Joe and Cody like doing best of all is flying dragonfly kites. They catch dragonflies and gently tie a length of thread around the middle of each dragonfly before letting it go. Off soar the dragonflies into the summer sky and off race the brothers and Ootsie too, chasing after their dragonfly kites through trees and meadows and down to the beach before watching them disappear into the night sky. But in their dreams, Joe and Cody soar through the skies with their kites until it's time to wake up.

"King! The Man and His Dream" is one of five books in the Holiday Play Series. Intended as a teacher/student learning tool, this scripted play is written for 16 major character roles, as well as many roles for extras. Synopsis: 1960's...THE DREAM BEGINS! Martin Luther King, Jr. was a young negro boy who grew up in the 1930's and 1940's. People of the black race, called negroes, were segregated, or set apart from others. There were negro churches and negro schools. So-called "white" restaurants would not serve food to negroes. Some states had laws that separated blacks in theaters and on buses. They had separate drinking fountains and bathrooms. Black Americans, sometimes called African Americans, did not have the same rights as other American citizens. Black people and other minorities thought these "segregation" laws were unfair. They wanted the same rights as white people. And many white people agreed. Young Martin Luther King had a dream of equality for all people, regardless of the color of their skin. He became one of the first leaders on the civil rights movement. His "non-violent" army of followers protested peacefully to bring attention to the injustice of segregation. They did not fight or cause a racial war. When King's followers broke an unjust law, they quietly went to jail. When they were attacked, they did not fight back. These non-violent acts got the attention of the people in the United States and around the world. King's dream came closer to reality when the United States Congress passed amendments to the constitution giving civil rights to all people. There were many steps in getting there. In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in helping to eliminate racial discrimination in the United States.

Pretty flowers in my country are for me Like pink butterflies That smile at the sun - Judes-Roldes For several months, Quebec illustrator Rogé prepared a series of portraits of Haitian children. Students of Camp Perrin wrote the accompanying poems, which create, with flowing consistency, Haiti, my country. These teenaged poets use the Haitian landscape as their easel. The nature that envelops them is quite clearly their main subject. While misery often storms through Haiti in the form of earthquakes, cyclones, or floods, these young men and women see their surrounding nature as assurance for a joyful, confident future. First published in French in 2010 as Haiti mon pays. It won several awards and nominations, including: Governor General Finalist 2011 (children's illustration category) Communication-Jeunesse Selection Laureat Prix Saint Exupery 2011 (French category) Laureat Prix Applied Arts 2011 (illustrations category) Laureat Prix Illustration Lux 2011 (book category) White Ravens Selection 2012

Exploring The Frozen North is the second omnibus in the Pierre Berton's History for Young Canadians series produced by Fifth House. Originally printed as separate volumes in the Adventures in Canadian History series, the titles in this omnibus include: Parry of the Arctic, Jane Franklin's Obsession, Dr. Kane of the Arctic Seas, and Trapped in the Arctic. In Exploring the Frozen North, Pierre Berton documents the amazing lives of the men and women who mapped the Arctic at great personal cost. Berton tells the stories of the explorers, but he does not ignore the stories of those people living in the Arctic-the Inuit. Berton often remarks that if only the English and Americans had learned more about living in the far north from the Inuit people, they may have had better luck in their explorations. Retold in accurate detail, these are stories of the triumphs and the hardships of early expeditions to the Canadian Arctic. In Exploring the Frozen North, incredible Arctic adventurers abide: William Edward Parry was the first white man to attempt exploration of the Arctic islands. Ultimately imprisoned by the Arctic ice, he made it farther north than any other expedition would for another thirty years. Jane Franklin, in her relentless search for her lost explorer husband, rallied seamen from England to the United States to comb the Arctic islands. Berton argues that because of her much of that part of the world was mapped. Elisha Kent Kane was a sickly American doctor, who, on the pretext of searching for the lost Franklin expedition, instead sought the legendary "Open Polar Sea," a purportedly ice-free passage to the North Pole. Robert John McClure's ambitious and aggressive race for the North West Passage almost ended when he was trapped in the ice for two long years.

The very premise of this book—that God would actually, personally, and presently indwell believers—is mind-boggling, but that is exactly what the Bible teaches emphatically! The Indwelling is a revelation of the believer’s current indwelling by the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit and the astounding consequences of this priceless inheritance. It brings believers into the astonishing realization of the One who lives within them and challenges them to walk in the fullness of that reality. By allowing the indwelling One full expression from within, they become His holy, operational bases on earth, through whom He can manifest His supernatural power and bless multitudes.The blessings of our being in Christ are many, but the infinite possibilities of Christ being in us—indwelling us—are largely unexplored. The Indwelling is sent forth to help catalyze this exploration.You might have heard a lot about who you are in Christ. Now it’s time to find out who He is in you!If you are ready to be deeply challenged by some of the most profound elements of discipleship, you must read The Indwelling. Dr. Nweke has an infectious approach to keep you captivated as he leads you on this journey. As you absorb this book, you’ll begin to understand more thoroughly and intimately the critical value of a Spirit-led inner life. . . . I’m making The Indwelling mandatory reading for my staff, board members, and field workers.—Greg Kelley, CEO of World MissionFor more about the book, the author, or the movement, visit theindwelling.net.

Joe and Cody are young Cree brothers who follow the caribou all year long, tucked into their dog sled with Mama and Papa. To entice the wandering herds, Joe plays his accordion and Cody dances, whirling like a young caribou. They are so busy playing and dancing, they don't hear the rumble of the caribou. Bursting from the forest, ten thousand animals fill the meadow. Joe is engulfed; he can barely see Cody a few yards away. Their parents seem to have disappeared. And yet what should be a moment of terror turns into something mystical and magical, as the boys open their arms and their hearts to embrace the caribou spirit. Written in English with Cree translations.
