Inspired by the true story of a courageous teen runaway At only thirteen years old—arrested for being part of the Mercury Gang because the boys only stole Mercury sedans—Conley Ford, on a whim, decides to run out on probation, skip school, and put his thumb out instead.

When he finds his way back home, he attempts to settle into high school. But his adventures have given him different life experiences than his peers. To his surprise, they are in awe of his exploits and vote him class president. Fictionalized by Conley’s wife Mary, Boy at the Crossroads is an adventurous coming-of-age novel about making it on your own and overcoming a hardscrabble childhood.

The toddler years can be the most amazing, yet challenging times. On one hand, it’s hard to believe that your little one is growing up before your eyes (and it’s the most incredible joy to be part of) but on the other hand, with growing up comes change and new milestones. These toddler transitions can often be daunting for both the child and the parent. We created the character, Louie, with your child in mind. It’s our goal that your child will instantly relate to Louie’s adventurous spirit, independence, and fun-loving nature. He or she will giggle through this sweet, rhythmic story but also learn that change can be overcome by a little courage and that the outcome can actually lead to even more fun and adventure! We understand that there are many different tactics and tools to conquer toddler transitions (and that each household may handle them differently), however, we strongly believe that before technique there needs to be a want and desire within the child. The same is true for adults. Think about it, there’s a small chance you’re going to learn a foreign language if you don’t have the desire. You can be thrown into some of the best classrooms and programs but will have a hard time grasping the information until you’re actually interested and motivated.  Louie’s Little Lessons’ sole focus is to ignite curiosity and motivation when it comes to facing change (then, the technicalities can be taught whichever way you chose), however, the first and most challenging step is establishing the correct mindset. We hope to help your child finds his/her desire to embrace change and courage for years to come. This is a wonderful bravery book for kids! And don’t forget to check out our toddler milestone charts!
