Book Description
Turbulent winds from an approaching tropical storm snatch an acorn from the safety of an oak tree and deposit it on the shore during the night. The acorn risks being washed away into the ocean or being eaten by a seagull before it’s rescued by Hatokwassi, a Kiawah Indian. She tucks the acorn safely away in her pouch, carries it back to her village, and lovingly plants it in her garden. Hatokwassi imagines it as a gift for her village, praying for the branches to shade the garden, the boughs to provide a playground for the children, and the seeds to offer food for the squirrels. A picture book for children, One Acorn’s Journey narrates the story of the Angel Oak, the oldest living oak tree in the United States located in Charleston, South Carolina.

Journey back to Mark Twain's childhood and formative years with this compelling biography. Set in the port town of Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain's family moved when he was four, the book explores the city's influence on his most famous works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Against the backdrop of legal slavery in Missouri, the book also delves into how Twain's experiences shaped his views on race and equality.

The book then follows Twain's path as he left school after fifth grade to become a printer's apprentice, contributing articles and sketches to the Hannibal Journal owned by his brother. Twain's journey continued as he traveled to different cities and joined the International Typographical Union, all while educating himself in public libraries. With vivid detail and insightful analysis, this biography presents a fresh perspective on the early life of one of America's most beloved writers.
