"The 'queen of France' visited Tim Wadham's home about a decade ago. And now the St. Louis librarian memorializes that royal encounter in his first picture book for children.
Illustrated with watercolors favoring a muted pink and a dust jacket sporting a tasteful, glittery crown, the finished book is a success, says Wadham, 48, who has reviewed many children's books as assistant director of youth and community services at the St. Louis County Library."

BookTrends: Treasured: Knowing God by the Things He Keeps
"A battered cardboard box arrived by mail a few weeks after my grandfather’s death, postmarked from the small West Texas town where he lived most of his years, the town where a crumbling cemetery now cradled his remains.
Inside the box, suspended in weightless drifts of white Styrofoam, a smaller, more pungent box was buried. An old cigar box."

New Book Reveals DNA Evidence for Intelligent Design
"The digital code in DNA reveals new evidence of intelligent design, Stephen C. Meyer shows in his authoritative new book, Signature in the Cell (HarperOne, June 23, 2009).
In this anniversary year of Charles Darwin’s birth (200 years ago) and the publication of his Origin of Species (150 years ago), scientists and journalists alike are devoting increased attention to the ultimate evolutionary question: the origin of the first life. Darwin himself never addressed the issue, but in recent days the New York Times, Science, The Daily Telegraph and Wired have all carried reports detailing alleged breakthroughs in understanding how life first came to be."

What To Do in the Garden - February
"February may well be the toughest gardening month. Thank goodness it's short. Gardeners in warm climates don't know what kind of weather to expect from day to day or from day to night. Gardeners in cold climates have put the holidays behind them and just want to see the sun shine again.
But that doesn't stop the true gardener from working on his garden. February is for planning and for seeing the first signs that spring is around the corner. And it is especially for pruning. So take advantage of those rare sunny days and get back in your garden."
