Book Description
But all the kids are wearing them! Any child who has ever craved something out of reach will relate to this warm, refreshingly realistic story. Features an audio read-along. "I have dreams about those shoes. Black high-tops. Two white stripes." All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. But Jeremy’s grandma tells him they don’t have room for "want," just "need," and what Jeremy needs are new boots for winter. When Jeremy’s shoes fall apart at school, and the guidance counselor gives him a hand-me-down pair, the boy is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy comes to realize that the things he has -- warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend -- are worth more than the things he wants.

Book Description
It is a slow morning. You are moseying about on an apple slice and ginger tea stomach, picking up books and setting them down, opening the shades to reveal wasps nests, but rarely opening the door. Slow mornings are the perfect time to sit, inside or out, enjoying Tara Sparbel's, Stomp Your Boots With Some Vigor. These poems offer solace in a world chaotic, and cling to you and sing to you when you've no energy to do much more than watch hot water turn peppermint. It is a journey through the seasons: immersed in the landscapes of Wisconsin and Colorado, exploring the restlessness of self care, relationships, and reflection. An adventure in finding strength in sunsets, the moon, flowers, and each other. It explores grief, loneliness, health, and letting go with empathy, wit, courage, and heart. Stomp Your Boots With Some Vigor is a book that invites you to feel cozy in scary and exciting life transitions and that uncertain bridge in between: each of us pausing momentarily to feed our sadness to the setting sun, eyes met with hope on the horizon. "Reading Tara's work in sequence is such a gift. So much of this feels familiar and so much of it feels like a brand new way to describe feelings I've always felt, but have never been able to articulate. She plays with sound. It demands to be read OUT LOUD, but it won't be mad if you read it in your head, and giggle a time or two."- Sarah Mayhak, Poet/ Communication Instructor at James Madison University.

Book Description
A Calculus two exam at 7:30 a.m. is insane was my thought as I sat down to breakfast in the LSU Union hall. I looked up at one of the TVs just in time to see the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. My heart sank to my toes. I thought, as a truck driver in the Louisiana National Guard, active duty consisted of dealing with hurricanes and floods, not war. That is what the Army is for. I'm still in school. Perhaps my contract will be up in time. National Guard truck drivers are not war heroes. Little did I know that a phone call in the middle of a blind date would prove me so wrong. Now that an active-duty deployment to Iraq is in my future, my concern is, Will I be the same person when I come back? From the Journals I kept daily, this is a "Walk in My Boots".
