At the end of the rainbow it is said there is a magical forest. This book contains short stories about some of the animals and insects in one magical forest presided over by a special forest fairy named Felicia. Each story is a fable containing a lesson to be learned in a fun and happy way. The author has done her own pen and ink/watercolor illustrations to accompany each story so children can see a picture of the various forest creatures as they learn from each other. The book is suitable for children of all ages. Since it has illustrations, small children enjoy looking at the pictures while an adult or older child reads the short story aloud. The book is the first in a planned series of fables taking place in the same magic forest at the end of the rainbow.

Illus. in full color. This story of how the Rainbow Crow lost his sweet voice and brilliant colors by bringing the gift of fire to the other woodland animals is "a Native American legend that will be a fine read-aloud because of the smooth text and songs with repetitive chants. The illustrations, done in a primitive style, create a true sense of the Pennsylvania Lenape Indians and their winters."--School Library Journal.
Following on the heels of his critically acclaimed God of Abraham (Oxford, 1996), Lenn E. Goodman here focuses on rights, their grounding in the deserts of beings, and the dignity of persons. In an incisive contemporary dialogue between reason and revelation, Goodman argues for ethical standards and public policies that respect human rights and support the preservation of all beings: animals, plants, econiches, species, habitats, and the monuments of nature and culture. Immersed in the Jewish and philosophical sources, Goodmans argument ranges from the fetus in the womb to the modern nation state, from the problems of pornography and tobacco advertising to the rights of parents and children, individuals and communities, the powerful and powerless--the most ancient and the most immediate problems of human life and moral responsibility. Guided by the probing argumentation that Goodman lays out with distinctive, often poetic clarity, the reader will emerge enlightened and prepared to respond with intelligence and commitment to the sobering moral challenges of the coming century. This is a book for anyone concerned with law, ethics, and the human prospect.
