Youngsters get to know the young hero and the adventures that carry him toward manhood. As they come to know Jeremiah as a friend who would understand their own growing pains, they look forward to each book in the series.

Teachers will Achieve..

Teachers will appreciate the ways that Jeremiah Stokely novels, kits, and activities make literature meaningful to children. Teachers can download free classroom idea packets to hold a hand-on workshop based on each book.

Redbud (Cercis canadensis)

The redbud is generally a low shrub tree but if it is protected it can grow to considerable size, though no more than 10 m (35 ft.) It is a member of the pea family. This is one of the ways to identify it, because it produces seedpods that resemble peas. While is is a wild tree, people of the Midwest often plant it in their yards so they can enjoy the early pink blooms. Its heart-shaped leaf has an entire (smooth) margin.

It is sometimes called the Judas tree. According to legend, it is blushing because of Judas’ betrayal.
