Lessons from Apple Trees, Rainy Days, and Johnny Woodchuck

Lessons from Apple Trees, Rainy Days, and Johnny Woodchuck is a collection of art and essays by writer Ellen Holmes Baer and artist Joyce Hopkins, two friends whose original intent was to provide Christmas gifts for friends and family. Now in its third printing, the book remains a favorite for gift giving. Described in a local paper as delightful and enlightening, the essays are inspired by experiences as long ago as Baer's Mississippi childhood and as recent as the election of 2004.
