      4RV Publishing's second Meet the Authors in July will be July 29 at Serendipity Market, Edmond. As part of Edmond, Oklahoma's annual Krazy Days, the book signing is one of the events and special happenings at Serendipity. The four authors participating will sign books in two shifts: 10 AM - 2 PM and 2 PM - 5 PM.

      For the first shift, Wayne Harris-Wyrick will have three of his releases: If You Swallow that Seed ... illustrated by Matthew Hughes; Why Am I Me illustrated by Stephen Macquignon;  and Kimmy Finds Her Key illustrated by Liz Warren. Partnering during the same time will be Kathleen Gibbs, author of Journey of the Cheyenne Warrior.

     During the second shift, the author who writes under the name vehoae will be signing her nonfiction book that many colleges have on reading lists, Conscience: Breaching Social Amnesia, which examines the treatment of indigenous peoples of North American from European leaders to the beginning of the United States. Also participating from 2 PM - 5 PM will be Jodi Heaton Hurst. Her book Merry Tilda: A Winter Fairy Tale was illustrated by Jeanne Conway.

Kindertransport now in Children's Lit Holocaust Database

     In the early 1930's, the Nazi persecution of Jews and other minorities began. Adults lost jobs, couldn't provide for their families, became discouraged and despondent, were sent to prisons. However, their greatest fear -- What would happen to their children?

     Therefore, just before the outbreak of World War II, the Nazis pushed Jewish families to do something they never imagined they would. They sent their children away on a train to faraway places to live with strangers so that they would be safe until the danger passed. 

     In Kena Sosa's tale of a young Jewish girl, she involves readers in the ordeal suffered by Helen, whose parents do what they must to save her: They send her away. As she gets on-board the Kindertransport, a train to hope, ten-year-old Helen will never be the same, but she will be saved.

     Holocaust Children's Literature provides a website that includes a database of stories and books written for children concerning the Holocaust, a period in history that needs to be documented and remembered.
     If a person searches for "Kena Sosa" in the database,  the information for Kindertransport: a chld's journey will appear. 

     Kindertransport
can be purchased on the 4RV Bookstore (at the bottom of the page), as well as through other bookstores, online and brick and mortar.
