African Heroes: Discovering Our Christian Heritage
"African Heroes: Discovering Our Christian Heritage shows children how God has used all races and ethnicities in his plan of redemption by celebrating and highlighting the contributions of African theologians and martyrs. Jordan and Jasmine's dad loves history and is always telling them stories about the past. One day when their family is out on a picnic, they start asking if there were any Christians who looked like them who God had used to help the church grow. They are excited when their dad shares inspiring true stories of early Christian leaders-both men and women-from Africa who helped to grow the early church in remarkable and significant ways. Author Jerome Gay introduces children to the stories of eleven amazing African leaders including Augustine, Athanasius, Tertullian, and more. - For children ages four to seven to show the African roots of the early church. - Key principles and Bible verses are connected with each leader; for example, Augustine's life and work in Algeria is characterized by grace (Ephesians 2:8). - Christian parents and church leaders will value sharing this resource with children to show that people of diverse cultures were part of the early church."

A Pocketful of Goobers: A Story about George Washington Carver
"There wasn't anything that George Washington Carver couldn't grow. He took the common goober--today's peanut--and created hundreds of useful products from it, turning goobers into a very profitable staple for the South. At the same time, this very special man passed on to everyone who knew him the importance of following one's own dreams."
Barbara Mitchell (Author), Thomas A. Penny (Narrator)
What Are You Figuring Now?: A Story about Benjamin Banneker
"In 1791 plans for the new capital city, Washington, D.C., were in the works, but someone was needed to help with the surveying. Thomas Jefferson recommended Benjamin Banneker for the job. Banneker was a free black man who lived at a time when black Americans had few, if any, rights. Yet he was an accomplished farmer, mathematician, astronomer, and surveyor. What Are You Figuring Now? is the story of a man who was never afraid to try something new, no matter how difficult."
Jeri Chase Ferris (Author), Thomas A. Penny (Narrator)
A Hunger for Learning: A Story about Booker T. Washington
"When nine-year-old Booker T. Washington was finally freed from slavery, he soon discovered that freedom had a price, and that he had to work, and work hard, to make his way in the world. After years of study and struggle, Washington became a teacher at what would become the famed Tuskegee Institute. Built from the ground up by Washington, his students, and his staff, Tuskegee became one of the finest schools for black students in the nation. More than one hundred years later, it still is."
Gwenyth Swain (Author), Thomas A. Penny (Narrator)
