Wonder is a beautifully illustrated rhyming picture book that aims to heighten awareness of and interest in the natural world.

Here is the song of three children who are calling upon all of creation--the angels, heavenly bodies, seasons, waters, hills, plants, animals, birds, and men--to exalt and glorify the Lord. "Bless ye the Lord; praise Him, and magnify Him forever . . ." Their lyrical song of praise and gratitude appears in the Book of Daniel in the oldest versions of the Christian Bible, and in the Apocrypha of later editions.

Imagine a childhood full of adventure. Where riding horses, playing in the woods, and hunting for food was part of everyday life; where a grizzly bear, a raccoon, or a squirrel was your favorite pet. But imagine, too, being an orphan at the age of six, being forced off your land by U.S. soldiers, and often going hungry. Such was the childhood of the first great American Indian author, Charles Eastman, or Ohiyesa (1858-1939).Carefully edited for a younger audience by multiple award-winning author and editor, Michael Oren Fitzgerald, Indian Boyhood recalls Eastman¿s earliest childhood memories. He was born in a buffalo hide tipi in western Minnesota, and raised in the traditional Dakota Sioux manner until he was fifteen years old. He was then transplanted into the ¿white man¿s¿ world. Educated at Dartmouth College, he went on to become a medical doctor, renowned author, field secretary for the YMCA, and a spokesman for American Indians. Eastman was at Pine Ridge during the ¿Ghost Dance¿ rebellion of 1890-91, and he cared for the wounded Indians after the massacre at Wounded Knee. In 1910 he began his long association with the Boy Scouts of America, helping Ernest Thompson Seton establish the organization. A 2007 HBO film, entitled Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, features American Indian actor Adam Beach as Eastman.
