Featuring the same unique flip-book design and universal message that made I Love You More a bestseller, this companion book brings the same beautiful lyricism to a new dual idea: A child is a gift to the world, and the world is a gift to a child. Evoking all that makes a child unique, the book then mirrors with the world's special gifts-from mountains to seas to life itself. Inspirational as well as gorgeously written, both poems reach the same moving conclusion: A child in the world is the greatest gift of all.
Written by the author of "Ender's Game", "Speaker for the Dead" and "Seventh Son", this futuristic adventure tells about the dangerous trek to the Rocky Mountains made by thousands so as to escape World War III. There are some people who just don't fit in. These are the folk of the fringe.
Beyond the Stony Mountains - Nature in the American West from Lewis and Clark to Today
America's great epic of exploration--the journey of Lewis and Clark--was also one of the most successful scientific expeditions in history. In notebooks filled with vivid and remarkably accurate descriptions of rivers, prairies, forests, mountains, native Americans, and wildlife, Lewis and Clark gave the world an image of wild country that has rarely been equaled.

Below, in the Valley, a woman stumbles upon a terrifying treachery, leading to a chase across impassable mountains and a confrontation that echoes all our nightmares.
