In 1970, John Kowalski was among the many young, inexperienced soldiers sent to Vietnam to participate in a contentious war. Referred to as “Cherries” by their veteran counterparts, these recruits were plunged into a horrific reality. The on-the-job training was rigorous, yet most of these youths were ill-prepared to handle the severe mental, emotional, and physical demands of combat. Experiencing enemy fire and observing death up close initiates a profound transformation that is irreversible. The author excels at storytelling. Readers affirm feeling immersed alongside the characters, partaking in their struggle for survival, experiencing the fear, awe, drama, and grief, observing acts of courage, and occasionally sharing in their humor. "Cherries" presents an unvarnished account, and upon completion, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the trials these young men faced over a year. It's a narrative that grips the reader throughout.

Ralph can be a very well-behaved bunny when he wants to be. The trouble is, he forgets and does naughty things sometimes. Will Ralph learn his lesson after eating a particularly sour cherry pie? A picture book for young readers, Ralph and his family come alive with the wonderful words of author Paula Baysinger Morhardt and the delightful illustrations of Kim Hanzo. Suitable for ages 3 to 7 years. REVIEWS: "I have grown children and certainly watched them go through some of the same battles that Mrs. Longears is living through. I found the book to be compassionate and absolutely relatable when it comes to raising little ones, and the pictures are worth a thousand words when it comes to Ralph and his mischief! I can absolutely see sharing this with future grandchildren.I was also a special education paraprofessional for 10 years, working with kids who ranged from preschool, up to 4th grade. I have sat in on many classrooms while teachers read to their kids, and I truly believe this book should be on all of their shelves."Tina L. - Austin, MN "A very relatable story for siblings. Ralph seems to be looking for attention! Typical behavior sometimes for brothers, and sisters! I think most will enjoy his story of mischief!"Marie K. - Austin, MN "The kiddos and I enjoyed the book very much. I loved the everyday-in-the-life of a child-concept and the kiddos, age 3 to 7, enjoyed it, too. It's also a very relatable story for them to identify with. We all have bad days and get into trouble from time to time and this was a great way to lead into that discussion. We all loved the illustrations."Sue D. - Austin, MN "If you like bunnies and have a brother or sister you will like this book. I feel for Ralph- it's not always easy to behave. I think other kids will relate, too. I can't wait to share with my friends."Evangeline age 4 - Oakdale, MN

Wybe Kuitert has written an account of Japanese cherries that spans disciplines as far ranging as history, geography, botany, and, of course, horticulture. Confusion and misunderstandings, particularly regarding the names of the plants, have hampered their appreciation in the West. Fluent in Japanese and a professor of landscape architecture at the Kyoto University of Art and Design, Wybe Kuitert consulted many sources and references never before translated into English, some of them ancient. This book will become an indispensable resource for sorting out incorrect and improper plant names that have stymied nurseries, collectors, and amateur gardeners. Full and complete information is also provided for the cultivation and propagation of cherries. A complete botanical key to the classification of Japanese cherries has been contributed by Dutch plant breeder Aric Peterse.

The hilarious #1 New York Times bestseller: Erma Bombeck’s take on marriage and family life is “fun from cover to cover” (Hartford Courant). Ever since she was a child, Er ma Bombeck has been an expert worrier, and married life has only honed that skill. She gets anxious about running out of ball bearings; about snakes sneaking in through the pipes; about making meaningful conversation on New Year’s Eve. Married life, she realizes, is an unpredictable saga even when you know exactly how loud your husband snores every night—and she wouldn’t have it any other way. In this crisp collection of essays, Bombeck shows off the irresistible style that made her one of America’s favorite humorists for more than three decades. When she sharpens her wit, no family member is sacred and no self-help fad is safe. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erma Bombeck including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.
