Book excerpt: When a clergy couple has a baby it's big news. When they adopt a baby, it's even bigger news. But when they adopt a baby with special needs? Everyone is tested. All the couple wants is to be parents. Little do they know that adopting a baby with Down syndrome breaks all the rules. What the family wants is to talk them out of it. Thus begins a phone-calling campaign of do-gooders warning of the pitfalls. Surely this couple has no idea what they are doing. Surely they realize it's a lifetime choice. What these well-intentioned people don't know is that it's the chance of a lifetime. What the church wants is a typical pastor's family (The handsome Pastor. The thin, perfect pastor's wife. The well-behaved, well-mannered preacher's kid). What they get is the polar opposite, and what they find out is that sometimes even church life can have it's challenges. Throw out the textbooks, step into the classroom of real life and meet a colorful cast of characters (and angels) as you journey through this honest, intimate, hilarious, and poignant look at the marriage between family, church, school, and community, the secret chaos of parenting a special needs child, and the profound impact it has on all who open their hearts with unconditional love. Add to that, a young man named Charley who is unimpressed with his Down syndrome, a refusal to be stereotyped, and an infatuation with girls. Mix in an obsession of going to the prom, and a peer tutor who sees past the barriers of disability, and dreams really do come true. A love story twenty-four years in the making, Life With Charley is a powerful message of hope, faith, and discovery. The reader will laugh and cry while learning from the unlikeliest of sources that the key to happiness is not in trying to fit in, but in just being yourself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you look at a bird, do you see feathers and a beak? Or do you see circles and triangles? Artist Charley Harper spent his life reducing subjects to their simplest forms, their basic lines and shapes. This resulted in what he called minimal realism and the style that would become easily recognized as Charley Harper’s. Art fans and nature lovers around the world fell in love with Harper’s paintings, which often featured bright colors and intriguing nature subjects. Harper’s love of painting and drawing led him from the hills of West Virginia to the bombed-out villages of Europe, to the streets of New York City, and to the halls of the Art Academy of Cincinnati. How did the farm boy who didn’t know a single artist become one of America’s most recognized midcentury modern painters? The answer is simple. He did it by counting the wings. Count the Wings is the first book for middle-grade readers about Harper’s life and work. Author Michelle Houts worked closely with the Harper estate to include full-color illustrations, plentiful supplemental materials, and discussion questions that will intrigue and engage young readers.
