There's someone new coming to the garden's Summer Camp this year, and, well, he has a problem. He stinks. But that's what stink bugs do. So, when Stanley arrives at Camp-Bug-a-Boo, he creates quite a...well, stink. Everyone tries their best to put up with the unusual odor, but things don't go so well. But then God helps the summer camp to realize that the reason Stanley stinks is because he's afraid and the thing he is most afraid of is others not liking him and accepting him the way he is. Our garden friends soon learn that God created each of us for very special reasons and that, even though Stanley is different, they need to show him love.

"One of the most enjoyable, satisfying sports books I have ever had the pleasure to read." —Jeff Pearlman author, Boys Will Be Boys and The Bad Guys Won! Yogi Berra once said: “If you come to a fork in the road, take it.” But for lifelong baseball aficionado Emma Span, it hasn’t always been that simple. Now, in this winning collection of essays, Span chronicles her love of the sport, from childhood hobby to full-blown obsession, from big break (becoming The Village Voice’s first staff sports reporter in years) to heartbreak (getting a pink slip within a year). She recounts elbowing her way to get a quote from Yankees captain Derek Jeter and waiting for Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez to put some pants on for an interview. She literally gives her lifeblood to see the Mets and hops a plane to Taiwan, home to perhaps the largest concentration of Yankees fans outside of the five boroughs. But after getting laid off and being forced to leave her press pass behind, Span wonders if her passion for the sport will fade. Highly unlikely. Baseball helped Span forge a lasting bond with her father, connect with total strangers, and endure even the toughest times. With a fresh voice, a devastating wit, and an alarmingly encyclopedic knowledge of the game, Span offers a new perspective on America’s favorite pasttime—as a journalist, a baseball nerd, a daughter, and a fervent stay-until-the-last-out fan.

A delightful way to show little ones how their hands are a blessing from God that they can use to do help others. Written in rhyming text and illustrated with the charming art of Gaby Hansen, this simple message of God’s blessing of hands not only entertains . . . as it teaches what wonderful things our hands can do from scratching, latching, and petting a pup to washing dishes with mommy and putting toys in a box . . . but it also conveys the important message: We can use God’s gift of hands to show our love for Him by helping others. The book ends tenderly with a prayer of thanks to God for hands and asks Him to use them again: One hand, two hands, Five fingers, ten. God, thanks, for my hands. Please, use them again.

It’s easy to feel alone when times are tough or you are afraid, but God is always with you listening to your prayers! These two beloved Hermie & Friends stories illustrate God’s constant love for us. In Webster, the Scaredy Spider, an easily frightened spider named Webster learns that he can be brave because God is always with him. Webster is scared of everything, and everyone is scared of him because he is a spider! So when Webster arrives in the garden, all of the bugs learn that they can be brave when they trust in God. And they discover that sometimes things that frighten you turn out not to be scary at all once you face your fears! In Stanley the Stinkbug Goes to Camp, all of the bugs in the garden learn to embrace each other’s differences, no matter how strange or stinky they may be! When Stanley the Stinkbug arrives at camp, it becomes evident pretty quickly that he’s not like the other bugs—he stinks! But once Hermie and his friends realize that Stanley stinks because he’s scared of being around new people, they help him feel more comfortable and remind him to trust in God when he feels afraid.
