The Culper Spy Ring was a crucial intelligence network during the American Revolution, providing George Washington with vital information about British troop movements. Established in 1778 under Major Benjamin Tallmadge, the network operated in New York City with key figures like Abraham Woodhull, Austin Roe, Anna Strong, and Caleb Brewster. They used coded messages, invisible ink, and pseudonyms to protect their identities. At the same time, thousands of American prisoners endured horrific conditions aboard British prison ships like the Jersey, where overcrowding, disease, and starvation led to a death toll of 8,000 to 11,000. Austin Roe, a tavern keeper, acted as the principal messenger for the spy ring, while Anna Strong helped deliver messages using a clothesline signaling system. Meanwhile, British officials profited from the suffering of the prisoners by falsifying records. The Culper Spy Ring operated successfully for five years, with no spies ever being unmasked.

BOOK COVER

Picture 1
Lia bounced onto the couch, holding up her fingers. “Mom! Only ten more days until my baptism! That’s like… forever! Can’t we just do it tomorrow?”

Picture 2
Mom smiled and tucked a loose curl behind Lia’s ear. “I know you’re excited, sweetheart. Baptism is a special day! But remember, waiting isn’t just about counting days—it’s about preparing our hearts.”

Picture 3
Lia sighed. “But I am ready! I’ve been ready since last week!”

Picture 4
Mom chuckled. “Let’s read a story before bed. I think you’ll like this one.”

Picture 5
Lia snuggled under her blanket as Dad opened the scriptures. “Did you know Jesus had to wait for something really special too?” he asked.
Lia’s eyes widened. “Really? What?”

Picture 6
Dad smiled. “His ministry! Jesus was twelve years old when He taught in the temple, but He didn’t start teaching people everywhere until He was thirty.”

Picture 7
“Thirty?!” Lia sat up. “That’s so long!”
Mom nodded. “But while He waited, He prepared. He learned, prayed, and listened to His Father in Heaven. When the time was right, He was ready.”

Picture 8
Lia thought for a moment. “So… waiting isn’t just waiting?”
Dad kissed her forehead. “Exactly. It’s about what we do while we wait.”

Picture 9
The next morning, Lia woke up with a new thought.

Picture 10
“What if I get extra ready for my baptism?”

Picture 11
She helped her little brother tie his shoes.

Picture 12
She listened carefully during family prayer.

Picture 13
She even asked Grandma about her own baptism day.

Picture 14
At bedtime, Lia grinned. “Mom, Dad! Only nine more days until my baptism… and I’m still getting ready!”
Mom hugged her tight. “That’s the best kind of waiting, Lia. Jesus is so proud of you.”

Picture 15
Lia closed her eyes, her heart full. Baptism was still days away, but she already felt closer to Jesus.

the story of hope

Addie has just turned three and she has the power to talk to animals. A bumble bee takes her into the woods where she meets a one eyed poodle who is missing his strudel. She sets off to find the missing strudel. Along the way she meets animals. 

A is for Adeline Mae. 

Adeline Mae didn’t want to go to bed. 
She said so... but mom said, “No. You must go.”

B is for bee. 

While in bed, she heard a noise by the window. She lifted up her head, and looked out. What did she see? A big ole bee! 

He motioned with his wing. “Hey follow me. I have something you must see.”

Adeline Mae jumped out of bed and ran as fast 
as she could, but the bee was too fast and flew far, far ahead. 

“Slow down.” She said. 

The bee turned around and flew to her side. 

“We don’t have time for this slack. Jump on my back.” The bee buzzed. 

So why could she hear this big ole bee?  Well, it was because today Addie Mae turned three, and only special little girls can talk to animals as soon as they turn three. 

C is for cottage.

So Adeline Mae jumps on his back and they fly down the hill and into the woods, and he took her to where a little secret cottage stood. 

D is for dog.

The cottage was covered with thousands of beautiful flowers. Hidden behind the flowers was a small gold door. 

They open the door and are greeted with a loud bark. Inside the secret cottage is a white fluffy poodle.

“Did you bring me my strudel?”

The poodle is Sir Henry, the famous one eyed dog. 

E is for Eagle. 

“I’m so sorry.” Buzzes the bee, but the Eagle took your Strudel.” He says to the poodle. 

“The Eagle took my strudel!” The poodle barks wildly. 

The bee waves his wings in the air to silence the poodle. 

“But don’t stress your noodle. You grouchy one eyed poodle. Because I have a plan. I brought you this girl.” 

“Step forward girl. What makes her so special?”

The First Day Jitters

Der fünfte Geburtstag und das Missgeschick
An Namas fünftem Geburtstag, einem besonderen Tag, an dem er traditionell seine erste blaue Hose tragen sollte, geschieht ein Unglück. Frau Tina schickt Nama mit Seidenflocken los, um Geld für den Hosenstoff zu verdienen. Doch er trifft auf seine Tante Frau Schumer, die in einer vornehmen Sänfte sitzt. Als Nama ihr die Seide anbietet, beschuldigt sie ihn des Bettelns, reißt das Paket auf und wirft die kostbaren Seidenflocken in den Abgrund. Ohne das Geld kann Frau Tina keine Hose kaufen, und Nama ist verzweifelt, weil er seinen Kinderrock nicht ablegen kann.

Das Geschenk des Zauberers
Am Geburtstag läuft Nama traurig auf die Felder, wo er einem hungrigen Bettler begegnet. Trotz ihrer eigenen Not lädt er ihn nach Hause ein. Der Bettler entpuppt sich als Zauberer und schenkt Nama eine magische Mühle, die Wünsche erfüllt, wenn man sie dreht. Er lehrt Nama ein geheimes Zeichen, um sie zu stoppen. Nama wünscht sich eine blaue Hose und eine Jacke aus Seide, und die Mühle erfüllt seinen Wunsch. Später wünscht er sich auch die verlorenen Seidenflocken zurück, die daraufhin ins Haus zurückkehren.

Frau Schumers Gier
Frau Schumer erfährt von der Mühle und nimmt sie Nama gewaltsam weg. In ihrer Gier wünscht sie sich unablässig Gold, vergisst jedoch das Zeichen, um die Mühle zu stoppen. Das Gold häuft sich an, bis es sie erdrückt und sie stirbt. Nama findet die Mühle inmitten des Goldberges und entscheidet, das Gold nicht für sich zu behalten, sondern es den Armen zu geben, um ein guter Mensch zu werden, wie der Zauberer es ihm geraten hat.

Namas Vermächtnis
Die Geschichte endet damit, dass Nama sein Versprechen hält. Er wird ein weiser und gütiger Mensch, der den Bedürftigen hilft. Sein Vorbild prägt die Menschen, und Eltern wünschen ihren Kindern, so weise und gut wie Nama zu werden.

But power is a test. And he failed. Instead of becoming a savior, he became something else... something feared. Cities crumbled under his wrath, empires fell at his feet.

This children's book, "Timmy and the Trickster Ads," is about a boy named Timmy who learns an important lesson about misleading advertising.

At first, Timmy believes a cereal commercial that claims it will make him run super fast. But when he eats it and sees no difference, he realizes he was tricked! His friend Maya teaches him about false advertising, explaining how companies sometimes make big promises they don’t actually keep.

Throughout the story, Timmy and Maya discover different types of deceptive ads, including:

Greenwashing (when companies pretend to be eco-friendly just to sell more products).
False promises in weight-loss ads (ads that make products sound more effective than they really are).
Exaggerated claims (like ads that promise unrealistic results, such as getting stronger from a milkshake).
By the end of the book, Timmy learns to question ads, check facts, and think critically before believing everything he sees. The story teaches kids an early lesson about media awareness and smart consumer choices in a fun and engaging way! 😊

Timmy and the Tricker Ads

In a lively barnyard, two mischievous sheep, Sneaky Sam and Tricky Tina, were known for their clever tricks and elaborate pranks. Their latest scheme was their most daring yet—a grand rodeo promising extravagant prizes like fresh hay, shiny new wool, and delicious farm treats. However, unbeknownst to the excited barnyard animals, the entire event was rigged in the sheep’s favor. The "bucking bronco" was a mechanical sheep under their control, and the "roping contest" was a setup designed to trap competitors. Just as chaos unfolded, a kind-hearted young girl named Lily arrived at the farm. Noticing the strange behavior of Sam and Tina, she quickly deduced their trickery. As the animals struggled against the deceitful challenges, Lily devised a plan to turn the tables. Switching the rigged ropes and tampering with the mechanical sheep, she transformed it into a wild, unpredictable "bull" that neither Sam nor Tina could control. Their own tricks backfired, leaving them tangled in their own traps as the barnyard erupted in laughter. Realizing their mistake, Sam and Tina apologized, learning that honesty and kindness were far more rewarding than deception. With Lily’s help, the farm animals threw a fair rodeo, where everyone could enjoy the games without tricks or deceit. As the sun set, the animals gathered for a joyful celebration, and Sam and Tina finally understood that true fun comes from playing fair. The story ends with the heartwarming lesson: "Honesty is the best policy, and helping others always brings more joy than any trick!"
