J.S. Rust Mouse in the House and Other Stories from Mrs. AveryaEUR(tm)s Kitchen

Annotation

This book started with a mouse running across the floor in my bedroom. Before I knew it, I was jotting out several short stories that I felt might be interesting to youngsters. After sharing these stories, I decided to compile them into a short book. I can sum up my thoughts with this short poem and in the character of Mrs. Avery.Protecting the Innocence of Our ChildrenThe innocence of our children,it knows no bounds to me.Simple smiles and trusting eyes,are reflections of their found memories.To violate their gentle faith,is a crime beyond compare.Yet can we pretend when leadersspeak, our children don't really care?I speak up for our children, let'sremember the heritage they will bear.We must protect the values they're given, and the innocence all children share.by John S.
