|  | | Big Brother Has Wheels
Wheels. They come in different sizes on different vehicles, but they hold the same fascination for kids and adults alike: they take you places.
Follow Big Brother's lifetime interest in wheels as he explores beyond the comfortable boundaries of his family farm, rolling through neighborhoods, towns, then nearby states, and finally all across the United States, he drives everything from a tricycle to a forklift. His love of wheels is more than a boyish hobby--it's a ticket to the whole country. This passion also builds family bonds with every vehicle as he shares it with siblings, children, and, finally, grandchildren.

| |  | | Oma Finds a Miracle
Miracles abound. Come join Oma as she relives a farm story about the doubted survival of a calf born in a snowstorm. Alone on the farm, Oma races the clock in a desperate attempt to save the calf. Her resourcefulness and determination not only help locate the calf, but enable her to transport it back to the warm barn in an unusual and unexpected fashion. An inspirational and miraculous tale of strength, spirit, and life.
Endorsed by nationally acclaimed authors Doug Wood (author of Old Turtle) and Dr. David Walsh, founder and president of National Institute on Media and the Family, children are drawn into this story along with Oma's grandchildren as concern for a newborn calf's survival mounts. Based on actual events from the author's upbringing on a Midwestern farm, the book focuses on the value of determination and the spirit of both human and animal mothers.
Readers who recognize the rewards and hardships of farm life, positive messages, and miracles in life will especially appreciate Oma Finds | |  | | Opa & Oma Together

After fifty years on the same farm, in the same home, Opa and Oma are still growing in life...together.

It is an intergenerational book that is read at Grandparents' Day programs, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, anniversary celebrations, and school and library programs.
