Book Description
Progress may be good, but progress will be an adjustment. When a change involves a change in living and uprooting of surroundings, it’s major. This book is about progress, “a squirrel’s dilemma”, and adjustment. About taking down beautiful trees full of pecan nuts in a park area. The park area provided food, shelter, play and sleep for the squirrels as well as safety. As trees were plowed down and taken away, squirrels scampered to other locations in areas of distance from their habitat. As days went on, only one tree stump was left shadowed by the barren land. A squirrel was sitting on that tree stump eating one remaining nut. It was then I thought of “A Squirrel’s Dilemma”. A general theme is that when something happens, decisions must be made and adjustments narrowed and the best choice made with comfort.

Each animal asks Groundhog to make his prediction in their favor the following year. Rather than being truthful about the fact that he just "calls it like he sees it," he leads them to believe he can control the weather, accepting their gifts of food and favor. On the next Groundhog Day, he finally admits he made promises he couldn't keep because he was trying to please everyone and makes amends. Matt Faulkner's rich illustrations are packed with hilarious details that will delight readers of all ages. No matter what weather the Groundhog predicts, curling up with this fun book is a great way to spend the winter. From the Hardcover edition.

Book Description
Arthur Dove, often credited as America’s first abstract painter, created dynamic and evocative images inspired by his surroundings, from the farmland of upstate New York to the North Shore of Long Island. But his interests were not limited to nature. Challenging earlier accounts that view him as simply a landscape painter, Arthur Dove: Always Connect reveals for the first time the artist’s intense engagement with language, the nature of social interaction, and scientific and technological advances. Rachael Z. DeLue rejects the traditional assumption that Dove can only be understood in terms of his nature paintings and association with photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz and his circle. Instead, she uncovers deep and complex connections between Dove’s work and his world, including avant-garde literature, popular music, meteorology, mathematics, aviation, and World War II. Arthur Dove also offers the first sustained account of Dove’s Dadaesque multimedia projects and the first explorations of his animal imagery and the role of humor in his art. Beautifully illustrated with works from all periods of Dove’s career, this book presents a new vision of one of America’s most innovative and captivating artists—and reimagines how the story of modern art in the United States might be told.
