THAT SQUARE-JAWED CAN-DO action toy, Traction Man, is back in another hilarious adventure. The little boy, Traction Man, and his brave pet, Scrubbing Brush, are inseparable—until the boy’s father throws the “unhygenic” Scrubbing Brush in the trash and replaces it with a “real” toy, the battery-operated TurboDog. It bleeps, speaks, and squeaks—but is not very smart. So Traction Man, wearing his airtight Astro-suit and armed with a bottle of SuperStrong Germo, enters the trash bin and rescues Scrubbing Brush from the Evil Bin Things (pizza crusts, spaghetti, and potato peels with eyes and mouths that hiss “Stay with us”). The Battle of the Bin is not to be missed—nor is the ignominious demise of TurboDog! With this satisfying sequel, Mini Grey has scored another smashing victory for imaginative play.

Discover the incredible true story of how one of history's most successful potato farmers began life as a slave and worked until he was named the "Potato King of the World"! Junius G. Groves came from humble beginnings in the Bluegrass State. Born in Kentucky into slavery, freedom came when he was still a young man and he intended to make a name for himself. Along with thousands of other African Americans who migrated from the South, Junius walked west and stopped in Kansas. Working for a pittance on a small potato farm was no reason to feel sorry for himself, especially when he's made foreman. But Junius did dream of owning his own farm, so he did the next best thing. He rented the land and worked hard! As he built his empire, he also built a family, and he built them both on tons and tons and tons of potatoes. He never quit working hard, even as the naysayers doubted him, and soon he was declared Potato King of the World and had five hundred acres and a castle to call his own. From award winning author Tonya Bolden and talented illustrator Don Tate comes a tale of perseverance that reminds us no matter where you begin, as long as you work hard, your creation can never be called small potatoes.

Life on the Rez didn't offer a lot of hope to Aidan Wells, a young Sioux man. Dealing drugs seemed like a reasonable option. But all reason goes out of Aidan's life when four of his friends die from a heroin overdose caused by Aidan's uncut stash. Full of guilt, and bitter at the years he will now spend in prison, Aidan feels irredeemable. But not to his cellblock neighbor, Dave, a born-again Christian. Dave's friendship begins to pierce the fog of shame that surrounds Aidan, as he teaches the young man about forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Through his reading of the Bible and growing understanding of God's love, Aidan finds the redemption he so desperately seeks and touches the lives of others in ways he could never have imagined before his acceptance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Based on a true story. Published by Word Out Books, an imprint of Winding Hall Publishers.
