The Madonna of the Schools
1 pp · religious

A parish's dream takes shape when a leading Iowa sculptor undertakes a bold new vision—a terra-cotta statue of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child designed for St. Cecilia's School grounds, meant to inspire both students and the thousands of travelers passing daily on the Lincoln Highway. This artistic shrine combines biblical tradition with modern sensibility, creating a timeless reminder for all who pause to pray before it.

The Dog and the Bone
2 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals

A greedy dog spots another's much larger bone and schemes to claim it for himself, only to lose his own prize in the process—a timeless lesson about the dangers of envy wrapped in a brief, punchy fable by Liz Sherman.

Elevators to the Sky
4 pp · non-fiction

"Elevators to the Sky" traces the ingenious history of vertical transportation, from ancient water-drawing mechanisms through Egyptian engineering to the pivotal moment when Elisha G. Otis demonstrated his revolutionary safety brake at the 1853 Crystal Palace Exposition. The story charts how steam power gave way to hydraulics, then electricity, and finally the gearless traction systems that power modern skyscrapers—each innovation solving the problems that plagued its predecessor. Along the way, you'll discover how escalators came to be, how contemporary signal-control elevators operate almost entirely on their own, and what engineering marvels may lift us even higher in the future.

Francis, Cardinal Spellman
5 pp · non-fiction; religious

This biographical account traces the remarkable journey of Francis, Cardinal Spellman, from his humble beginnings working in his father's store through his decision to enter the priesthood at Fordham. After his ordination in Rome in 1916, Spellman rose through the Vatican ranks, earning the trust of Cardinal Pacelli (later Pope Pius XII) and undertaking dangerous missions including smuggling papal messages during the fascist era. His dedication to service culminated in his appointment as Archbishop of New York in 1939, his tireless visits to Allied troops across the globe during World War II, and his elevation to Cardinal in 1946—a testament to one American priest's unwavering commitment to his faith and his country.
