Many years ago on Christmas Eve, a reindeer black as coal was born at the North Pole. He had a sapphire blue nose that would brightly glow, whether he wanted it to or not. This makes Randolph the Blue-Nosed Reindeer feel alone, because he stands out from everyone else. Even though he is very close to his cousins, who are like a brother and sister to him, what Randolph really wants is a friend outside his family. One day he builds a snow fawn to get his mind off things. Little does he know that the snow fawn will change his life forever. Randolph learns why he was gifted with a blue nose. He meets many creatures, gains new friends, and finds love in this very special children’s story. Unfortunately, in the darkest part of the North Pole, where the sun never shines and it is always bitterly cold, lives a warlock whose heart is blacker than darkness itself. This evil warlock seeks to kill the kind-hearted blue-nosed reindeer and take over everything he sees. Randolph bravely chooses to use his glowing nose in an attempt to save the world, hoping to put a stop to the warlock’s threat once and for all.

Randolph the Moose lives with his mother in the Great White North. After a chance encounter with the reindeer from Santa Claus' sleigh-pulling team, Randolph finds new joy in trail running as he trains to join the reindeer in Santa's flight school. But when the head elf places him at the workshop loading dock instead (due to his tremendous bulk), Randolph has to use his brains and work ethic to earn respect at his new job... and even save Christmas. Imagine Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, except... • Randolph has a healthy self-image • Randolph has a more positive outlet for his feelings • Randolph runs, but not away from his problems • Randolph is pro-active, refusing to let Santa's workshop define him as a moose BE YOUR OWN MOOSE! "Randolph the Christmas Moose empowers kids to find the unique leader within themselves and to not allow stereotyping to limit their potential." --AUSTIN HIGHSMITH GARCES, author of The Miracle Tree and actor in Dolphin Tale 1 and 2 "Randolph the Christmas Moose, filled with humor and character building, shares a twist to a familiar tale to produce an important message about how children can be hard-working, determined and true to themselves." --ADAM DOVICO, educator and author of When Kids Lead, The Limitless School and Inside the Trenches "This is a charming and funny story that will not only entertain kids, but also help them understand that other people's opinions don't define them." --LINDSAY THOMPSON, filmmaker and writer for PBS' Arthur "Randolph the Christmas Moose addresses many important childhood themes, including acceptance, endurance and bullying, without sounding 'preachy.'" --SUE ELDER, Ed.D., public and elementary school librarian, educator and bibliophile Learn more at www.GerryGibsonAuthor.com From Loving Healing press www.LHPress.com

Fans of the greatest reindeer of all will have a double helping of Christmas fun with this collection, which includes the title story plus "Rudolph Shines Again." Near and dear to so many hearts, this is the story, the original story, of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, written by Robert L. May in 1939. Rudolph, loveable and generous, humble and good, embodies the spirit of Christmas, and reminds us of the magical possibilities that exist within us all. In the companion story, "Rudolph Shines Again," Rudolph loses his light and is certain he is of no use to Santa now; he decides to go far away, where no one knows how bright his nose used to be. But on his journey, something magical happens. As enchanting as the original story, Robert L. May's uplifting sequel to his classic tale Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a joyous celebration of the spirit of Christmas. Also included in the audio is a selection of holiday songs for kids to help you ring in the season: "Jingle Bells," "Up on the Housetop," "Deck the Halls," "Over the River and through the Woods," "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and "O, Christmas Tree."

This book of photography represents National Geographic's Photo Ark, a major cross-platform initiative and lifelong project by photographer Joel Sartore to make portraits of the world's animals -- especially those that are endangered. His message: to know these animals is to save them. Sartore intends to photograph every animal in captivity in the world. He is circling the globe, visiting zoos and wildlife rescue centers to create studio portraits of 12,000 species, with an emphasis on those facing extinction. He has photographed more than 6,000 already and now, thanks to a multi-year partnership with National Geographic, he may reach his goal. This book showcases his animal portraits: from tiny to mammoth, from the Florida grasshopper sparrow to the greater one-horned rhinoceros. Paired with the prose of veteran wildlife writer Douglas Chadwick, this book presents an argument for saving all the species of our planet.

Truman Capote’s first novel is a story of almost supernatural intensity and inventiveness, an audacious foray into the mind of a sensitive boy as he seeks out the grown-up enigmas of love and death in the ghostly landscape of the deep South. “Intense, brilliant . . . . Capote has an astonishing command . . . a magic all his own.” —The Atlantic At the age of twelve, Joel Knox is summoned to meet the father who abandoned him at birth. But when Joel arrives at the decaying mansion in Skully’s Landing, his father is nowhere in sight. What he finds instead is a sullen stepmother who delights in killing birds; an uncle with the face—and heart—of a debauched child; and a fearsome little girl named Idabel who may offer him the closest thing he has ever known to love.
