Noodles spent the day playing outside with her friends. Her hands are dirty, but who could have fun and keep their hands clean at the same time? When she gets home, her poodle Tiny welcomes her by jumping on her and licking her face. Her mom sees her clothes and filthy hands and rolls her eyes. She asks Noodles to wash her hands before eating.

Noodles is one of the first to show up at Leila’s birthday party. She loves to dance, so she immediately steps on the dance floor. Her friends begin to cheer as she busts her fancy moves, and her body follows the rhythm of the song flawlessly. When everyone praises her, Noodles says, “I get it from my momma!” On the way home, her mom says she’s gotten her something.

It’s the end of the school year, which only means two things for Noodles: vacation and student pictures! Student pictures are a big deal for the senior class, as they are included in the yearbook. Noodles knows this, but is not concerned about it. She just wants to have fun!

Reimagining Adoption examines beliefs, practices, and scripture to attune to the needs of vulnerable children and their families and align with Christian values. It examines the historical adoption practices, reviews current practices, and proposes revisions. More importantly, it lifts up the words and lived experience of adult adoptees - the true experts on adoption - and braids them with the insights of adoptive families to craft a new adoption paradigm.

As a teenage zoo-owner and the head of an eco-team that’s been tasked to overcome global warming and protect endangered species, Zak Bates is as busy as ever. Despite much help from a truly stellar multi-species coterie, his life, in a word, is wild, and it seems that things are about to get hairier. When the eco-team receives word from the Council of Animals of the Spiritual Frontier about a curious disturbance amongst New York’s animal population, it soon becomes clear that something truly sinister is afoot - or apaw - and, worse, the plague is prodigious.

This boxset includes Ra-Kit's Initiation (A Prequel), Dominion Over All, Endangered, Ghost Elephant, and Junkyard Dogs.

Gulliver's Travels is an adventure story (in reality, a misadventure story) involving several voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, who, because of a series of mishaps en route to recognized ports, ends up, instead, on several unknown islands living with people and animals of unusual sizes, behaviors, and philosophies, but who, after each adventure, is somehow able to return to his home in England where he recovers from these unusual experiences and then sets out again on a new voyage.

Despite running his own zoo, Zak Bates considers himself pretty normal for a 13-year-old. Visited by Ra-Kit, a scruffy feline with some serious catnip issues, he’s ill-prepared for the life-or-death assignment that follows. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Zak must represent the animal kingdom at a United Nations Conference on Global Warming, convince world government to stop poisoning the planet, broker interspecies peace, and diffuse an impending, bloody rebellion - just a bit harder than algebra!

In Zanesville, Ohio, a dangerous menagerie has escaped from a private preserve, and the situation threatens to spiral out of control. Francis, a spirit bear from British Columbia, is being held captive, and, to free him, the eco-adventurers will need to align with Chatters, a white squirrel. Though fraught with peril, the breakout might be a chance to mend the globe.

Nia Gaines is the newest member of Zak Bates' Eco-Adventure task force - only, she doesn’t know it yet. When Nia’s parents drag her along on a business trip to China, the source of their affluence soon becomes clear: ivory, prized since ancient times for its beauty and never before so rare. In Beijing’s back alley curio shops, the prices are great...but what’s the cost? The answer will change Nia’s world.
