by Bill WallaceThe day of the Naming is an important one for young roadrunners. That's when roadrunner parents judge the speed, courage, and hunting skill of their offspring and choose fitting names for them. One proud fledgling dreams of being named Muscles, or Dash, or even Hunter. If only he hadn't pursued those three juicy grasshoppers for a final snack. If only he'd remembered his parents' lesson: "Always look before you leap." If only he'd paid more attention to the mouse family that had lost two children to a nearby snake. If only the rattler had given some warning before it struck.... Miraculously, the young roadrunner survives the attack, but not without damage. With their son's feet swollen to such an enormous size, his parents have no choice but to give him the humiliating name of Thunderfoot. It's enough to make a roadrunner wallow in self-pity and give up.

The Legend of the Cape May Diamond
by Trinka Hakes NobleThe Legend of the Cape May Diamond At the southernmost tip of New Jersey, on a narrow point of land, lies the charming resort town of Cape May. Gently sheltering the Delaware Bay, the white sand beaches of this natural peninsula are sprinkled with stones of pure quartz crystal. Formed by melting glaciers thousands of years ago, the Delaware River flows some 200 miles down from its headwaters to spill into the Delaware Bay. And for thousands of years, fragments of pure quartz crystal have ridden the river, plucked from the mountains lining its banks. Polished and buffed as they tumble along, these once-unassuming rock particles dazzle like gemstones when tossed onto Cape May's sandy shore. Beloved by beachcombers, these 'diamonds' are the daughters of the river, linking New Jersey's past and present. Delving into the natural beauty and rich history of the Delaware River and New Jersey's famous coastline, storyteller Trinka Hakes Noble has crafted a wondrous, creative tale explaining the ancient origins of the Cape May diamond. Picture descriptions present.
