Children have always struggled with the obligations of school, chores, practices, and other family responsibilities. Lumpy's Gift is a delightful fable about how all those little trials help make it possible to find your true potential. In this light-hearted fable, Lumpy, a lump of clay, is taken from his home by a well-meaning potter who does "terrible" things to Lumpy. But by the end, Lumpy has become something extraordinary, something he never knew he wanted to be. The book includes a parent and teacher's discussion guide to the story and an introduction to the basics of pottery.

Based on meticulous research into these tales, this volume is an encyclopedia, a fieldguide to the creatures that can be found in Maine and beyond. The entries havebeen peer reviewed by notable experts in the fields of folklore, anthropology, Nativestudies, and cryptozoology.
