'Twas the Night Before Round-Up
Written by Nancy Garhan Attebury
Illustrated by Joan Gilbert Madsen
When powerful horses dressed in silvery tack sweep into the arena, four energetic cowkids grab reins, swing onto the steeds, and ride like the wind. The cowkids showcase their skills in pole bending, barrel racing, calf roping, and more in this adaptation of the classic 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. In the end the cowkids face a choice to stay in the arena or stay with the horses and . . ."answer the call to dash away, fly away, zip away all."
Exposing children to a regional event that appeals to everyone is what Nancy hopes to do with ‘Twas the Night Before Round-Up. Grandpa George Attebury was a saddle bronc rider in the Pendleton Round-Up in 1912.
‘Twas the Night Before Round-Up, its illustrations, and activities at the back of the book cover many educational learning standards.
Gloria Steinem: Champion Of Women's Rights
by Nancy Garhan Attebury
Blazing new trails and winning equal rights for women are what Gloria Steinem is about. Since the 1950s she has made a mark on society with what has sometimes been an outspoken manner.
This biography offers insight into Steinem’s formative years when she was sole caregiver of a mother who was often depressed and unable to care for her as other mothers cared for their children. Chapters build chronologically and stress Steinem’s growth toward independence in a world that did not always value strong women.
Attebury’s opportunity to meet with Steinem in person shows in her ability to disperse information in an informative yet interesting way. According to Attebury’s text, “Women and other oppressessed people today receive more support than ever before. Steinem has played a big role in making this a reality. She has spent a lifetime making sure that society no longer holds women back.”
This book allows women and men alike to see positive results brought about by striving to make things equal and better for all people.
