Best-selling author Jeanne Bendick takes us for another informative—and amusing—journey into places and events of long ago. Herodotus and the Road to History, written in the first person, details the investigative journeys of Herodotus—a contemporary of the Old Testament prophet Malachi—as he takes ship from Greece and voyages to the limits of his own ancient world. His persistence, amidst disbelief and ridicule, in the self-appointed task of recording his discoveries as “histories” (the Greek word meaning “inquiry”), means that today we can still follow his expeditions into the wonder and mystery of Syria, Persia, Egypt and the “barbaric” north. Jeanne Bendick's lucid text, humorous illustrations and helpful maps entertain and instruct as they open the way for readers young and old to once again join Herodotus . . . on the road to history.

We are familiar with the stories of Bible heroes like Abraham, Moses and Daniel, but perhaps we neglect to consider their faithfulness through their later years.

It all begins with a simple question posed by a patient mother when her impatient toddler shouts, ‘I’m hungry!’ ‘What will you say when the doorbell rings and we open the door?’ asks Mom. ‘Hi, Pizza Man!’ replies the thoughtful child. . . .(But) what if it’s a pizza woman?. . . a pizza kitty?. . . a pizza duck?. . . The book has a wonderfully satisfying roundness that comes full circle when the doorbell finally rings. —The Horn Book.Sleepers, 100 Books Too Good To Miss!
“In this simple, funny story, a young girl pretends what she would say to a variety of creatures, from a dinosaur to a snake, delivering pizza to her door.” —School Library Journal, 1998
“Working on this book was an adventure in using my imagination. I loved to think up all the different ways a pizza could be delivered.” —Ponder Goembel

Rich in imagery and detail, this exquisitely rendered picture book introduces readers to one of America’s favorite classic poems, “The Song of Hiawatha” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Illustrated by Susan Jeffers, this book beautifully weaves together oral traditions of American Indian culture and presents a charming and hypnotic account of Hiawatha’s boyhood.
Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were good at math…really good.
They participated in some of NASA's greatest successes, like providing the calculations for America's first journeys into space. And they did so during a time when being black and a woman limited what they could do. But they worked hard. They persisted. And they used their genius minds to change the world.
In this beautifully illustrated picture book edition, we explore the story of four female African American mathematicians at NASA, known as "colored computers," and how they overcame gender and racial barriers to succeed in a highly challenging STEM-based career.
One of the most exciting series of a master story teller about the German occupation of The Netherlands during the emotional time of the Second World War (1940-1945).
The country was occupied by the German military forces. The nation’s freedom was destroyed by the foreign men in power. Violence, persecutions and executions were the order of the day, and the main target of the enemy was the destruction of the Christian way of life. In that time the resistance movement of underground fighters became very active. People from all ages and levels joined in and tried to defend the Dutch Christian heritage as much as possible.
The above mentioned book show us how older and younger people were involved in that dangerous struggle. It often was a life and death battle. Every page of this series is full of tension. The stories give an accurate and very vivid impression of that difficult and painful time. These books should also be in the hands of our young people. They are excellent instruments to understand the history of their own country and to learn the practical value of their own confession.
