This is a fictional children’s book for the wonder of the minds of children. It could bring laughter and excitement for children at play. Playing outside without supervision, the character Jocelyn accidentally wanders off into the woods as she was flying her kite when her grandmother told her to be careful and not wander off into the wooded area. Now she is so far away from her grandmother’s house and is lost. There’s no way back. She cannot remember the way back. As she stood under the oak tree lost, she was hoping that someone will hear her crying out for help. Then there was an overwhelming response from the animals of the woods. Mr. Bird goes tweet tweet. Mr. Owl goes who whoooo. Mr. Rabbit always scrunching his nose and goes, “Who goes hippy hop?” and the Owl has big eyes and can see everything. And of course there was Mr. Fox, who was smart and clever and can outsmart anyone. They seemed to want to help Jocelyn to get back to grandmother’s house. So the big adventures begin. Now she’s off and on her way. The only way out of the woods is through the carrot and cabbage patch field, but there’s one thing holding Jocelyn back once they get to the carrots and cabbage patch field. She was afraid of the scarecrow. She wanted to get past him. He was so scary to look at. He had a big nose and eyes that were watching her and looked like he was shaking off the pole he was hanging on, and it seemed like he may come after her, but Mr. Owl and Mr. Bird and Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Fox said he could outsmart that old scarecrow. That’s exactly what they did and finally Jocelyn was guided out of the woods with the help of her very special friends. She got back to her grandmother’s house, and they had fun on the way.

In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Part of the regionalist movement that included Grant Wood, Paul Engle, Hamlin Garland, and Jay G. Sigmund, James Hearst helped create what Iowa novelist Ruth Suckow called a poetry of place. A lifelong Iowa farner, Hearst began writing poetry at age nineteen and eventually wrote thirteen books of poems, a novel, short stories, cantatas, and essays, which gained him a devoted following Many of his poems were published in the regionalist periodicals of the time, including the Midland, and by the great regional presses, including Carroll Coleman's Prairie Press. Drawing on his experiences as a farmer, Hearst wrote with a distinct voice of rural life and its joys and conflicts, of his own battles with physical and emotional pain (he was partially paralyzed in a farm accident), and of his own place in the world. His clear eye offered a vision of the midwestern agrarian life that was sympathetic but not sentimental - a people and an art rooted in place.
