When a lop-eared rabbit named Montgomery falls through a hole in a fence, drawn to a field rabbit, he discovers a whole new world. Instead of waiting for his owner, a girl in dusty boots who brings him raspberries, he and his new companion decide to find the raspberry patch all on their own. Their adventure is lovingly detailed in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing. This award-winning tale follows Montgomery as he and a field rabbit named Bentley escape predators like a coyote with jagged yellow teeth before reaching Bentley's warren home. The two convince Bentley's family that they can find the legendary raspberry patch past the big pond all on their own and set out in the morning. When a hawk pursues Montgomery, Bentley uses quick thinking - and some unsuspecting dogs - to help scare it away. They get an unexpected meal thanks to a kind stranger but find themselves in a dark forest to escape other dangers. When they reach the pond they have one more obstacle: Bentley can't swim. With Mongtomery's encouragement, the brave rabbits make it to the raspberry patch, where Montgomery makes a decision that will change his life. Detailed, realistic illustrations by David Wenzel showcase nature's beauty with their muted colors and bring the characters to life. The story teaches a gentle lesson of courage, kindness and the wonder that friendship can bestow. 'Montgomery Rabbit' won the Award of Literary Excellence from Dog Ear Publishing, which honors books that impress the company's editorial staff, for its charming story and stunning illustrations. This is the first book for author Sandy Little, inspired by childhood memories of playing in her grandfather's raspberry patch. Little, who spent 25 years in the entertainment industry on both sides of the camera, is a chef, photographer and traveler. She is a wife and mother and lives in Hidden Hills, Calif. Illustrator David Wenzel has illustrated numerous children's books, creating original artwork for more than 35 years. The graduate of Kent State University aims to balance realism with expressive effects to show emotion. He and his wife, Liz, live in Valley City, Ohio.

Poetry and essays allow writers to express themselves in ways few formats offer. Milton Joseph Batson takes full advantage of these media with a new book featuring his observations, released by Dog Ear Publishing. Through his writing, he captures the changes from his childhood through the present, revealing innermost thoughts, feelings and observations about life's joys and its tribulations but mainly about its most powerful force: love. In 'The Heart of Milton: Poetry, Love, Reflection,' the poet remembers simpler times as a child, describes struggles as he grew up and shares how faith shaped his life. The poems cover the many stages of life and speak eloquently to human emotion. The book features sections titled Forever Love, Mother and Father, Children, Other Loves, Lost Love, My Country, Thoughts & More and Prayer. In the poem 'Dawn's Vision,' one of many written with his wife in mind, Batson reveals this: 'The radiance of our love would shine so brightly that the heavens would glow from our path, as we flew side by side.' He writes of another form of love in the poem 'Mother,' which reads, 'She taught me how to accept my failures and thirst for improvement. And, she did it all by example, in such a gentle and unassuming way.' He writes of the love of country with 'Freedom,' a poem honoring fellow veterans who have given their lives for their nation: 'Then come warriors of spirit with unflinching glare, who, through the annals of time, have always come there.' The poem 'For Whom You Have Provided' describes the love of a son for his heavenly father: 'I am your son, your child, and can never escape that wonderful privilege, nor would I ever so desire. And through it all, you have patiently walked by my side, with your loving eyes upon me, lest I stumble.' Milton Joseph Batson has been writing poetry since he was a young child. He experienced a childhood similar to that of literary figure Huckleberry Finn, growing up on the islands of Eastport, Maine, and Compobello, Canada, having adventures with his best friend. Batson, who has a degree in applied science/industrial engineering field from Miami University of Ohio, served in the Air Force for 20 years in its space and missile program, first working in ICBM silos in North Dakota before transferring to Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, where he did operational testing before retiring from the Air Force. During his second career, Batson spent more than 20 years as a veterans' representative for the State of California, serving veterans returning from war zones and others. He developed many new programs to help veterans with their transition to civilian life as well as those struggling with joblessness and homelessness. He and his wife, Pamela, live in a rural area on the Central Coast of California, a stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean. They have seven children and 21 grandchildren.

Park Square Artistic Director Richard Cook directs Dane Stauffer* in this humorous and heartwarming tale of salvation and deliverance.
