Bunny Starch, the most feared biology teacher ever, is missing. She disappeared after a school field trip to Black Vine Swamp. And, to be honest, the kids in her class are relieved. But when the principal tries to tell the students that Mrs. Starch has been called away on a "family emergency," Nick and Marta just don't buy it. No, they figure the class delinquent, Smoke, has something to do with her disappearance. And he does! But not in the way they think. There's a lot more going on in Black Vine Swamp than any one player in this twisted tale can see.
Our guide, of course, is Carl Hiaasen. How many owls can you find in this playful book of numbers? Bright artwork, finger-holes, and a cheerful rhyming story make learning come alive! Dark sky. Wake or doze? Some eyes open. Some eyes close.
Some chicks like day, others like night. Some sleep in the dark, and some in the light. Hoot, an adorable owlette, and Honk, a fuzzy gosling, have just hatched--but their eggs got switched and now they're in the wrong nests. Will they find their way home? Leslie Helakoski's gentle lilting verse and irresistible illustrations make the perfect bedtime story as they capture two adorable babies exploring the world for the first time. One of the most intimidating parts of being adoptive parents is finding the best way to tell a child he or she is adopted.
Parents worry that their child will interpret that truth to mean they aren't as wanted or loved, since the birth mother might to appear to have just "given them away. Overwhelmed at the prospect, Jana thought it would be easiest if she could just read Matthew a story which explains adoption in a light that shows just how much an adoptive child is loved and wanted.
She wanted to find a story that demonstrates how much the parents searched and waited for their child to come into their lives. Jana hunted through book stores and the internet for a suitable story but couldn't find anything close to what she needed; so, she decided to write the story herself. Jana says, "I wanted it to be a fun story, but also very factual. One night, Henry the Hoot Owl let Avery know that the story he had for him that evening was an important story, "one that is wonderful and true.
It also shows the adoptive parents waiting, praying, and hoping for their little boy. The story demonstrates the great joy everyone felt when the boy was adopted by his new parents, and all the ways they became a loving family. At the end of the story, Henry the Hoot Owl reveals that Avery is the little boy in the story. Jana used this heart-felt story that she had written to explain to Matthew that he is Avery in the story.
She reports that the story was a huge success. Reading it to Matthew didn't leave him wondering or having any questions about his adoption. Jana explains, "To our amazement, he was perfectly OK with this knowledge. Our son understood and our fears were erased. Jana was shocked and asked him if he recalled their talk and the story she had read to him.
Matthew said, "Yes, I remember the story. I held it in my heart. Matthew is seventeen today, and a senior in high school. Jana has thought for many years about sharing the story she wrote as a book, so that it might assist other adoptive parents to have a positive way to tell their children how they came to be a family. My Adoption Story as Told by Henry the Hoot Owl was released in the summer of by Triumph Press and is a colorful illustrated children's book that Jana Henderson hopes will be that missing resource to help other adoptive parents during the wonderful and overwhelming time in their lives when they tell their adoptive child how much they are loved.
