 Dream Big with A Book For All Seasons this 4th of July
 If you loved Water For Elephants, don't miss Hannah's Dream,
an elephant of a tale! Diane Hammond, author of Hannah's Dream, comes to A Book For All Seasons, July 4, 1:00 - 3:00 PM.
An Indie Next Notable Pick, Hannah's Dream is a beautifully told tale rich in heart, humor and intelligence. After forty-one years together, Sam knows Hannah the elephant as well as he knows anyone. Sam is aging and his health is failing, but he has vowed not to retire until an equally devoted caretaker is found to replace him. Enter Neva, who quickly discovers what Sam already knows: that despite their loving care, Hannah is isolated, lonely, and her feet are nearly ruined from standing on hard concerte all day. Neva and Sam hatch a plan to send Hannah to an elephant sanctuary - just as the zoo's implacable director launches an aggressive marketing campaign spotlighting Hannah as the zoo's star attraction.

What Are Leavenworth's Knitters Reading?
Linda Smyth, proprietor of the cheery Wooly Bully yarn shop, is reading two favorite books right now: so with a knitter's ambidextrous even-handedness, she wanted to tell you about both.
"I love Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day," Linda said. "Oh my gosh, this is the best bread ever. It's a fantastic reference. They've experimented to figure out just the essential steps to bread making. There's a lot we think we have to do that we can actually leave out. This book shows you how to make perfect bread in the least amount of time. And you know," she said with a happy sigh, "I really love good bread."
Linda is also reading (with a slice of hot, buttered bread in her hand, no doubt) A World Lit Only By Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance: Portrait of An Age. "If you're a history fan, like I am," she said, "you'll find this fascinating. It's about a time of great social change: the plagues have just ended, and printing presses are spreading information in a whole new way. But who was reading, and what, and how often? It's really interesting trying to get into the mind-set of people of that time. There are some thought-provoking parallels to today."
Buy Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day - $27.95 by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoë François.
Buy A World Lit Only By Fire - $15.99 by William Manchester.
 Lisi Ott, whose gorgeous knitted creations are straight off the llama, is reading Shapeshifting: Techniques for Global and Personal Transformation, by John Perkins. Perkins, better known for his best-selling Confessions of An Economic Hit Man, wrote Shapeshifting about his experiences among the indigenous South American Shuar, where John learned to integrate modern and ancient techniques to bring about profound healing. "I feel like what he's saying directly relates to me," said Lisi. "We can address our problems today only by viewing them from a totally different paradigm. What we are doing now is not working. We have to shift our consciousness. By studying successful Shamanistic cultures, John has determined what we need to do to break out of our present difficulties. I like this book! It's hopeful and exciting. If forces you to consider things in a whole new way, and gives you the tools to do that." Look for Lisi, and the knitted art of Lisi and her Purple Crayon llamas, at the Tuesday morning farmer's market. Lisi has about seven more related books she can't wait to tell you about!
Buy Shapeshifting - $12.95 by John Perkins.
Buy Confessions of An Economic Hitman - $15.00 by John Perkins.
