The illustrations are adapted from the children's original paintings of the story. Mona Green said, "When my husband was a stockman, we used to go out to Nongra Lake to see if the cattle had enough water. I had heard the story about this giant lake, and I think that from the air it would look like a tree with roots stretching out."

Book Description
For the Love of Things Little bee on the rosebush May you smell the sweet scent of the flower. Never forget this flower in which it will come back When you leave the field in which you fly around You go around trying to find that one you found that day But all you see is gray It's never coming back to you It lost its scent at summer's end Now its winter and you try to stay alive That rosebud is all you think about Just hope for the sun And maybe you will smell that scent once again Not in a dream or a fairy tale Just for the scent you would die a thousand times over You wait in the cold where you found it But the sun never comes Summer's dew runs through the field of dreams The winter's cold is gone Flowers bloom And those roses come back to life But the bee has died waiting for the flower The poor being lies beside the rosebush, its dying wish For that sweet scent Now rose-red buds lie on its grave That is love for beauty And not for entertainment of others

There was just one thing that Josh hadn't counted on. The place was haunted.

Book Description
This comprehenisive text approaches the subject from an ecological/evolutionary biological perspective. The assumption is that one cannot study forest insects without understanding the dynamics of the relationship between an insect and its host plant. This relationship includes knowing what factors control forest insect populations such as food, food quality, tree vigor, host selection, and symbiotic relationships. The authors also discuss tree-injuring insects from the perspective of their influence on tree physiology and growth as well as economic and commercial effects. The book represents a "modern" approach to the topic of forest and shade tree insects; is well-illustrated; and includes a comprehensive primary reference list.

Book Description
Beloved author Sheila Williams beautifully captures the bittersweet humor and vivid adventures of women who survive the worst life can toss at them—and fight back to claim their right to be free, to be themselves, and to live in . . . The courage to change doesn’t come easy. When Opal Sullivan walks out on an abusive husband after fifteen years, she has only her dreams in her pocket. Her new beginning starts in Appalachian River country, where she sees a bit of herself in a graceful but dilapidated house. Like Opal, the house is worn-out and somewhat beaten up, but it still stands proudly and deserves a second chance. So Opal opens her doors—and her heart—to a parade of unforgettable characters. There’s sassy Bette Smith with her cantaloupe-colored hair and four-inch heels; short-tempered Gloria and her devilish son, Troy; the mysterious Dana, who dresses in black and keeps exclusively nocturnal hours; a dog named “Bear” who is afraid of his own shadow; and Jack, who doesn’t mind hanging out with an OBBWA (old black broad with an attitude). It is Jack who helps Opal understand a funny thing about life: You can’t move forward if you keep looking back. . . .
