Three lost seeds : stories of becoming / by Morton, Stephie,author.(CARDINAL)816526; Wong, Nicole(Nicole E.),illustrator.;
"Each of the three seeds in this story--a cherry seed in the Middle East, an acacia seed in Australia, and a lotus seed in Asia--survives a difficult journey through flood, fire, or drought, then sprouts (in the case of the lotus seed, a hundred years later) and flourishes. To author Stephie Morton, nature's powerful forces are a metaphor for the hardships faced by displaced children. Kids, like seeds, thrive when given a chance. Stephie's verses and Nicole Wong's art make a picture book to treasure"--Jacket.1080L

The CCC in the Smokies / by Jolley, Harley E,author(CARDINAL)180799; Cave, Kent,editor(CARDINAL)351725; Kemp, Steve,editor(CARDINAL)332028; Great Smoky Mountains Natural History Association(CARDINAL)165365;
"In 1933, a force of some 4,000 Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) enrollees began reporting to work camps in the Great Smoky Mountains. They came from all across the country, some highly trained engineers, masons, and landscape architects, some with practically no discernible skills at all. During the course of nine years, they reforested clear-cut slopes, restored historic structures, built hundreds of miles of roads and trails, and constructed buildings, retaining walls, bridges, trout hatcheries, campgrounds, and other facilities. In short, their labors created the backbone of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Most of what they built still stands today, as handsome, functional, and enduring as they day the last stone was laid."--
