Produktbeschreibung
In the second book of Adelyn's Adventures, a girl chooses to explore the garden her grandparents plant every year. She meets different creatures, each doing its duties for Mother Nature. A garden spider tells her story, a humming bird zooms in and out between duties protecting her territory, a fox sits cleverly hidden from her. The garden is where they start life, follow instinct to do their work, and die. Real life is hard. Creatures constantly search for food and build shelters. They must keep watch for enemies and defend their territory. The garden is also a symbol. This is the Garden of Earth, after the Garden of Eden. It reminds humans they do not follow instinct. They must make decisions about the problems they face. They must work for things they need. They have a duty to take care of the plants, animals, soil, water and air. They must have self-respect and respect others. Adelyn learns that work in the Garden of Earth helps humans discover the path to a good life.
Autorenporträt
CHARLES BRUCKERHOFF started life in Augusta, Missouri, in 1947, on a small farm near The Big Muddy. He spent many days exploring the hills, valleys, fields and streams of the Ozark Mountain foothills. At 19, he joined the United States Army and served in Vietnam. Returning to the USA in 1969, he went to college, studying English, literature, philosophy and research methods. In 1995, he created a firm, Curriculum Research and Evaluation, Inc. (www.creus.com), focused on the social and cultural life of children living in poverty. He believes the best way to gain personal knowledge, social skills, moral behavior, spirituality, and healing for children and adults is through the real world, out the back door with friends. Currently, Charles works as the author and publisher of Adelyn's Adventure Series for Sequoia House Books. He also devotes time to shepherding the firm, now run by his lovely wife, Theresa, and to family life with four sons, five grandchildren, friends, and neighbors. His hobbies include community service, artisan bread baking, gardening, traditional quilting, and studying American history, ancient civilizations of the world, the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. He places no limit on new adventures.
