BY SANDY SASSO Adam and Eve were enjoying their first day on Earth when they noticed the sky growing darker, the sun drifting toward the ground. Without the sun's heat and light, the night grew cold and dark. Adam and Eve were frightened. What was God doing? Was God taking away the sun? With the first sunset, Adam and Eve learn how to get through the night and not be afraid of the dark. And when the new day dawns, they bless God for creating the day and the night. This book explores the power of faith in God and in one another in a way that kids will understand. Board Book.

Why Christian Words Have Lost Their Meaning And Power -- And How They Can Be Restored
BY MARCUS J. BORG Christianity is filled with words like "salvation" that have drifted in their meaning over the centuries until we have lost touch with what we are saying to each other when we use these words. They mean different things to different people, often sparking emotional responses in which the words and the effort to express a meaning are at cross purposes. Marcus Borg, author of "Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time," explores the challenges of religious vocabulary.

BY MICHAEL ROSEN, ILLUSTRATED BY BOB GRAHAM George has a house made from a big cardboard box, and he says that no one else at the playground can come in. Not Lindy, because George's house "isn't for girls," nor Freddie, because it "isn't for small people." Sophie can't come in because, George says, "This house isn't for people with glasses." But when George leaves his house for a moment, everyone piles in, and on his return, George gets a taste of his own medicine. Aided by Bob Graham's striking illustrations of an urban playground, Michael Rosen tells the tale of a little boy who makes a big discovery -- that letting everyone into his playhouse is a lot more fun than keeping them out.
