  • Thunder and Lightnin'

    Jeneen Poole, James Catledge

    Paperback (Kairos Creative Arts, Oct. 1, 2013)
    Henry is a little boy living in a small, wood-framed house along the road leading to the blackberry forest. And if there’s one thing Henry loves, it’s blackberries. Blackberry jam, blackberry candy, blackberry pies, blackberry pancakes, and blackberry tea—anything and everything with that delicious fruit in it is his favorite. When Mama says during breakfast to go and pick two buckets of blackberries so she can make two blackberry pies, he’s out the door leaving his canine companions Thunder and Lightnin’ behind and without paying attention to the last thing Mama says—the part about only picking berries in the yard. Why would he worry about that? Well, Henry gets to picking those delicious berries—and the pickings are good! He tries hard to make sure he fills up both buckets by singing himself a song: “Pick a berry! Eat a berry!” That way, he gets to eat some now AND have blackberry pie later. But after he’s picked ALL the ripe berries in and around the yard, one look in his buckets tells him the song didn’t really remain the same. It had gone from “Pick a berry! Eat a berry!” to “Pick a berry! Eat a berry! Eat a berry! Eat a berry!” Which is why his buckets are pretty much empty! Uh-oh. Mama can’t make blackberry pies without blackberries—he’s got to think fast. There are plenty of ripe blackberries in the forest. Problem is, sometimes when you get started doing something you love, you forget all about what you’re doing—or where you are… A lighthearted and spooky adventure all children can enjoy, Jeneen Poole’s debut children’s book is as exciting as it is instructional. Inspired by a rich, southern storytelling tradition, Thunder and Lightnin’ is the perfect teaching tool for parents as they build the importance of following instructions within their children.

    Donalda. Davis

    Paperback (SMP Paperback, March 7, 2006)
    This is the story of the fighter mission that changed World War II. It is the true story of the man behind Pearl Harbor---Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto---and the courageous young American fliers who flew the million-to-one suicide mission that shot him down.Yamamoto was a cigar-smoking, poker-playing, English-speaking, Harvard-educated expert on America, and that intimate knowledge served him well as architect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. For the next sixteen months, this military genius, beloved by the Japanese people, lived up to his prediction that he would run wild in the Pacific Ocean. He was unable, however, to deal the fatal blow needed to knock America out of the war, and the shaken United States began its march to victory on the bloody island of Guadalcanal.Donald A. Davis meticulously tracks Yamamoto's eventual rendezvous with death. After American code-breakers learned that the admiral would be vulnerable for a few hours, a desperate attempt was launched to bring him down. What was essentially a suicide mission fell to a handful of colorful and expendable U.S. Army pilots from Guadalcanal's battered "Cactus Air Force": - Mississippian John Mitchell, after flunking the West Point entrance exam, entered the army as a buck private. Though not a "natural" as an aviator, he eventually became the highest-scoring army ace on Guadalcanal and the leader of the Yamamoto attack. - Rex Barber grew up in the Oregon countryside and was the oldest surviving son in a tightly knit churchgoing family. A few weeks shy of his college graduation in 1940, the quiet Barber enlisted in the U.S. Army. - "I'm going to be President of the United States," Tom Lanphier once told a friend. Lanphier was the son of a legendary fighter squadron commander and a dazzling storyteller. He viewed his chance at hero status as the start of a promising political career.- December 7, 1941, found Besby Holmes on a Pearl Harbor airstrip, firing his .45 handgun at Japanese fighters. He couldn't get airborne in time to make a serious difference, but his chance would come. - Tall and darkly handsome, Ray Hine used the call sign "Heathcliffe" because he resembled the brooding hero of Wuthering Heights. He was transferred to Guadalcanal just in time to participate in the Yamamoto mission---a mission from which he would never return.Davis paints unforgettable personal portraits of men in combat and unravels a military mystery that has been covered up at the highest levels of government since the end of the war.
