Josie Siler illus. Sebastien Braun

Howie has a broken Hee-Haw and it makes him MAD! No matter how much he practices, he can’t get it right. This new take on the story of Palm Sunday will delight children as they laugh through silly hee-haws, feel sad with Howie when he sees himself as a failure, and cheer him on as he faces his fears and carries Jesus into Jerusalem. Children will relate to Howie’s story and look to him for encouragement when they’re afraid or feel inferior. They’ll learn they aren’t broken either, but unique and of great value because Jesus made them.

A multi-award winning author and photographer, Josie shares God’s gifts of beauty, hope, and adventure with people who are overwhelmed by life’s circumstances, encouraging them to walk in the freedom and joy found in Jesus. Josie especially wants children to understand how much God loves them and that He is there for them not only in good times, but in hard times too.

DACHSHUND THROUGH THE SNOW Michelle Medlock Adams illus. Ana Sebastian

Crosby was teeny. Even for a miniature dachshund. In fact, he was the teeniest dachshund in the whole town. But his small stature and big heart made Crosby one of the best burrowers in all of the North Pole. That’s why he couldn’t wait to enter the North Pole Animal Olympics and burrow his way to a gold medal.

Finally old enough to compete, Crosby goes to town to register on Dec. 23, but when he encounters lots of hecklers and bullies who make fun of his small size, Crosby loses his confidence. With his tail tucked between his legs, he burrows as fast and far away from town as he can, running smack dab into a stranded Santa and his destiny.

Will this unlikely hero save Christmas?

Four to eight-year-olds will be on the edge of their seats as this holiday picture book page-turner unfolds.

Michelle Medlock Adams & Janet K. Johnson illust. Beth Snider

Juvenile Fiction Ages 6+

Experiencing loss—in the varied ways it comes to us—affects everyone differently. As adults, we have ways to verbalize how we are feeling.

Many children, however, lack the vocabulary and the understanding to name the emotions they experience when they go through grief. They just know they are hurting inside. They are feeling sad, angry, lonely, or maybe even scared. These feelings manifest in different ways depending on the age of the children.

She invites conversations on crops, trees and bees snd adoption, good books and gluten-free recipes.

By the time Marshall Brandon was five he’d been beaten, abused, and abandoned. By eighteen he was addicted and dealing drugs, fully involved in living the life of a thug.

By the time he finished his tour in Vietnam, all he wanted was to take the white man down.

But God had other ideas.

In a memoir that reads like an adrenaline-packed novel, you’ll delve deep inside the life of a man who should not have survived, let alone be ministering to men and women in a way few others can. A man working to free people from opioid addiction and fighting the brutal racial rifts that are battering our country.

Someplace to Be Somebody is real. Raw. And the riveting story of a man crushing insurmountable odds through the power of a God that says nothing is impossible.

THE CHOICES SHE MADE Felicia Ferguson

In 1997, seventeen-year-old Madeline Williams is torn between continuing her family ranching legacy and accepting her Army-bound boyfriend’s marriage proposal.

But when an assault by John David Billings, the son of a wealthy rancher, leaves her pregnant, Madeline sacrifices both options, choosing to leave town and raise the child alone.

It's been several years, and when she returns to her hometown to meet with her father, rumors circulate about John David's trial—for assaulting other women.

Madeline struggles with the secret she's kept from her daughter—and everyone but her father—all of these years. If she testifies, John David could be put away for good. Doesn't help that he's hired a killer lawyer, and it would take a testimony like hers just to put him behind bars.

But if she unveils her past, that could have some dangerous repercussions for her daughter.

She has trusted God throughout her entire life, but can she trust him to carry her through this trial?
