Misty Of Chincoteague

By Marguerite Henry, Wesley Dennis (Illustrator), First published in 1947

"You'll never catch the Phantom," says Grandpa. "That horse is fast as the wind. She's escaped from every roundup on the island!"
But Paul and Maureen want the beautiful wild mare for their very own.
"I'm going to capture her myself," says Paul.

When Paul finally overtakes the Phantom, he makes a surprising discovery. Running at her side is a brand-new, silvery-gray colt - Misty!

About the Author: Marguerite Henry (April 13, 1902-November 26, 1997) was an American writer. The author of fifty-nine books based on true stories of horses and other animals, her work has captivated entire generations of children and young adults and won several Newbery Awards and Honors. Among the more famous of her works was Misty of Chincoteague, which was the basis for the 1961 movie Misty, and several sequel books.

"It is exciting to me that no matter how much machinery replaces the horse, the work it can do is still measured in horsepower ... even in the new age. And although a riding horse often weighs half a ton and a big drafter a full ton, either can be led about by a piece of string if he has been wisely trained. This to me is a constant source of wonder and challenge." This quote was from an article about Henry published in the Washington Post on November 28, 1997, in response to a query about her drive to write about horses.

Marguerite Henry inspired children all over the world with her love of animals, especially horses. Author of over fifty children's stories, including the Misty of Chincoteague series, Henry's love of animals started during her childhood. Unfortunately, Henry was stricken with a rheumatic fever at the age of six, which kept her bedridden until the age of twelve. Born to Louis and Anna Breithaupt, the youngest of the five children, Henry was a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Because of her illness, Henry wasn't allowed to go to school with other children because of her weak state and the fear of spreading the illness to others. While she was confined indoors, she discovered the joy of reading. Soon afterwards, she also discovered a love for writing when her father, a publisher, presented her with a writing desk for Christmas. On the top of stacks of colored paper her father wrote, “Dear Last of the Mohicans: Not a penny for your thoughts, but a tablet. Merry Christmas! Pappa Louis XXXX.”

Henry's first published work came at the age of eleven, a short story about a collie and a group of children, which she sold to a magazine for $12. Henry always wrote about animals, such as dogs, cats, birds, foxes, and even mules, but chiefly her stories focused on horses.

In 1923, she married Sidney Crocker Henry. During their sixty-four years of marriage they didn't have children, but instead had many pets that inspired some of Marguerite’s stories. They lived in Wayne, Illinois.

In 1947, she published Misty of Chincoteague and it was an instant success. Later, this book—as well as Justin Morgan had a Horse and Brighty of the Grand Canyon—were made into movies.

She finished her last book, Brown Sunshine of Sawdust Valley, just before her death on November 26, 1997 at the age of 95.

The more we learn about the history of the federal government, the more we learn that some of the conspiracies we’re told to disregard are actually true.

The true stories shared in this gripping book are more than just disturbing episodes of our history — they’re stark reminders of the ability of powerful people (worldwide communists and socialists infiltraitors), to shape world events and our own lives through deception and lawless corruption.

By illuminating these obscure corners of history, this book challenges people to question authority, seek the truth, and be skeptical of those in power who are under “elite capture”.

One is One

By Tasha Tudor

Speaking of the reinforcement of fundamental truths, the title of this board book reaffirms objective truths such as the unchanging nature of numbers. It’s a simple counting book that makes numbers concrete by applying them to real, homey things—“3 is three swallows up in the sky /4 is four sheep nibbling rye.” Most importantly, it’s written and illustrated by Tudor, arguably one of the best children’s illustrators ever. Her pictures are realistic, detailed, and gentle, although still a touch whimsical, and they reflect the peace and innocence that should characterize childhood. She includes lots of elements of the natural world.

‘When did baby books become all about politics? What we need are simple, wholesome, moral stories with tasteful art that reflect the beauty and importance of everyday life, tales that reinforce the goodness and security and stability of the little world that toddlers inhabit. We need to return to traditional stories to feed young minds and imaginations in a normal and healthy way.” —— Epoch Times Review

Strawberry Girl

—By Lois Lenski, Originally Published in 1945

The first of Lenskis regional series Strawberry Girl earning the Newberry Award is set in a little-known backwoods region of Florida. Part of the story revolves around the on-going feud between the hardworking Boyers who proudly call themselves Florida Crackers and their shiftless neighbours. The story unfolds through the eyes of the main character, Birdie Boyer who is about ten years old. Her straightforward manner and simplistic views of her families struggle to make their new Strawberry and Oarnge farm prosper despite heat, droughts and cold snaps go on to give this rustic story heart.
Author Lois Lenski was also an illustrator and her drawings help to bring the book to life. She was well known as an illustrator and did the artwork for the original “The Little Engine That Could” and the early volumes of the “Betsy-Tacy” series. Strawberry Girl gave the reader an interesting picture of life in the Florida backwoods during the 1940s.
