Book Description
Kito wants to be just like his papa, the protector of the pride. Throughout a day and night on the savanna, the cub imitates the way his father roars, swings his tail, shakes his head, and pounces. Kito may be too little to catch a wildebeest, but he is brave enough to succeed in his own hunt. Someday he will be King, just like Papa. With its rhythmic text, dramatic moments on the African plain, playful times for cub and papa, and word-for-word narration this book will make a perfect read-aloud for family sharing.

Book Description
Thomas yearns to believe in Papa's angels, to see the unseen, hear the unheard, touch that which lies just beyond the ether of understanding. Yet, he is afraid that to do so will plunge him into the same deep place of madness that afflicted his father""seeing angels in the olive trees, and imagining the boy, Jesus, emerging from the caves along the dead waters. Even after he becomes a disciple of the itinerant preacher from Nazareth, and sees the glorious miracles, hears the stories of healing and comfort, he holds back, afraid to commit, afraid to lose himself in Jesus's calling to unconditional love. In the end, Thomas realizes that while his struggle for understanding matters, salvation demands acceptance of the persistent doubt that beats within the heart of faith.

Book Description
Papa Said contains within its pages anecdotes and reflections on the teachings of a loving father and grandfather who some may consider a little old-fashioned. Yet, within Papa's instruction to our children resides the foundation which can help establish healthy homes in today's world. This book includes my reflections and tales of our family's patriarch, the leader and provider who loved us and helped us to find joy and adventure in our days as a growing family. Papa helped us all-his wife and his children-to weather the storms of life through good days and turbulent times. His quiet, subtle way of responding to events in our lives is as appropriate today as it was when Papa was still with us.

Book Description
"Why did Papa offer me to the Lord to become a preacher?" Samuel Grant wonders. "My brother Toby would be much better than me. Things come easier for him than they do me." His sister Hallie's confession to taking the red string off the wrist of the older brother when the twins were toddlers adds more confusion to Samuel's dilemma. Hallie doesn't know if she put the string back on the right brother's arm. Now what will happen? "Maybe I'm not Samuel. Maybe I can live a normal life and get married to Katrina." The brothers live in a state of uncertainty while waiting for their true identity to be uncovered. On the way to finding out which twin is the older one, the Grant siblings endure hair-raising experiences, such a helping birth a baby, concealing the mother's whereabouts, caring for the newborn until the mother decides what she'll do with the infant, and an impromptu wedding. These and more challenges strengthen the character of the young man who was actually offered to the Lord in Papa's Vow.

Book Description
The book, Alfie and Papas Other Boys, is the fourth in a series which began with Alfies Story, Little Boy Growing Up. After that the exciting story of Alfie and the Moonshiners. Next came And the Rest of Alfies Story. I really thought that was the rest of the story. It wasnt. Now we have these tales, beginning with Papas Missing Toe, and ending with Tis a Mark of Distinction. There is not a dull moment in between these two fascinating pictures of Papas role in the lives of his four boys. Willie is the oldest, the ring leader in all their mischief, and the embodiment of primogeniture because Margaret died. There is Cliff. Granma characterized him when she said Give that boy a wheel and he will roll it off the edge of the world. And Junior is Alfies nemesis; he is just enough bigger than Alfie to taunt him, and not bigger enough to control him. Lastly, there is Alfie, the Baby, impulsive, irrepressible and curious beyond belief. But always the Baby until the arrival of Jody, ten years late for this book of Alfie tales.

Book Description
The Santuzzus are poor Sicilian farm laborers at the turn of the century who endure back-breaking work in the fields of a tyrannical landlord. Wanting more for their children and grandchildren than a lifetime of servitude, Papa Santuzzu and his wife Adriana push their seven sons and daughters, one by one, to immigrate to La Merica, a land of promise and opportunity. In each chapter of Tony Ardizzone's loving tribute to Sicilian American culture, the Santuzzu siblings tell us about the family and friends they have abandoned in Sicily, the trials of their passage to America, and the uncertain, yet ultimately satisfying lives they build in their adopted home. Interwoven throughout their tales are the traditional folklore and songs of Sicily. In the Garden of Papa Santuzzu is a rich and vibrant addition to our diverse body of immigration literature.
