  Ripening Time

  $18.99

  Celebrate the power of food and create delicious, lasting memories with this poetic and playful exploration of the joy of waiting for, and finally sharing, fried plantains.

  Mama steers the cart toward the produce section of the grocery store and picks up a bunch of green plantains. Thus begins a week of anxious anticipation as a young girl waits for mustard yellows to seep onto the unripe green peels. Creep. Creep. Seep. Green begins to turn to yellow. Creep. Creep. Seep. Black streaks appear. And finally, on Sunday, the frying pan sizzles and hisses, as Mama serves up the warm, sugary slices the young girl has waited for so long.

  Much like there is sweet treasure hidden beneath the skin of a plantain, this beautifully written and evocative story reaches far beyond the act of preparing a favorite food. Ripening Time celebrates the way food and family entwine to connect us across generations–and serves as a touching reminder that some of the sweetest rewards in life are worth the wait.

  Kids Of The Bible

  $19.99

  Kids are part of God’s special plan!

  Miriam, Samuel, young Jesus-the Bible is full of stories about kids! In fact, it’s one big story about a parent (God) and His children. Some of these kids are actual grown-ups who act like toddlers and refuse to look to God as their parent. Some of them are grownups who humbly see that they’re just kids on the inside who desperately need God as their true Father. And some of the kids in the Bible are actual kids! Featuring Caroline Saunders’s delightful storytelling, this unique book explores the real-life children in God’s Word and shows how God loves to do His big work through small people, such as Joseph, Josiah, and Jairus’s daughter. Readers will find more than thirty stories-some favorites and some surprises, and each one will show readers that kids like them are part of God’s special plan to bless the world.
