Redd The School Bus Driver
Lunch is over and the kids can’t wait to see and hear what book their teacher Ms. Boswell will read to them today during story time. All of the kids love story time on the alphabet mat because their teacher makes reading interesting and she always gets her students involved when reading the stories.
JaNi’ leads the way from the lunch room to the classroom, Emmanuel holds the door and Khloe retrieves the book, Redd the School Bus Driver off of the bookshelf. Bus safety is very important in school and lately their school Kujawa Elementary has been having trouble when it comes to following the bus safety rules. Therefore, Ms. Boswell chose one of her favorite books to help assist her in teaching bus safety and in doing so, the book will make reading fun just like reading should be.
Bad Luck Felix
It is the first day of school and Khloe is in class missing her mommy. Ms. Boswell is the teacher and she knows from past experience that reading is the perfect answer to little boys and girls having a bad day at school.
Bad Luck Felix is the book that she gets off her classroom bookshelf because it never lets her down. Not wanting to give away the story, she decides to only tell her class that the book that she is about to read is about a Truck Driver who has bad luck from the time he wakes up until the time he goes to sleep.
Why Me?
Ms. Boswell’s students are at recess and all the kids are having fun. That is, until E.J. wants to play tag with some of his classmates and pushes Emmanuel down to the ground after he’s told he has to wait for the next game. Bullying is something that’s not tolerated at Kujawa Elementary and is definitely not tolerated in Ms. Boswell’s class.
Back in class, it’s story time but before their teacher can pick out a book to read on the alphabet mat, Emmanuel finds the courage to tell the teacher how E.J.’s been picking on him in school. Knowing the affects that bullying have on kids, Ms. Boswell goes to her bookshelf and pulls out, “Why Me?” to help explain to her class how bullying makes the person getting bullied feel. Hopefully, after the story is read, this will be the last day E.J. will bully anyone again.
Grace
One would think that a pastor of a church would no doubt enter the pearly gates of heaven. That is, until Pastor Grace dies and has to stand before Jesus, not prepared to give an account for his life’s deeds. He thinks he is okay because of the fl ourishing ministry he pastored while alive, but Jesus knows the truth because he is the truth and sentences Pastor Grace to Hades/Sheol.
Troughout Hades, Pastor Grace must learn to survive the dark souls he attracts while on the quest to find Sharia (the path to the watery place). Queen Jezebel, King Azzazel, Dagon the Demon, the Great Leviathan, and creatures that don’t exist in the natural world anymore are just a few he’s up against.
His days are numbered with the price on his head for cold water in the midst of hellish temperatures. During his journey, he comes to realize that even though he didn’t make it into heaven, he is still going to preach the gospel the way Jesus ordained him to. That is, if Satan doesn’t have anything to say about it first.

His time is running short and Tree feels with the help of prayer and God on his side he can make it in a working society when released. Something he is not accustomed too by far. Will he make it or will the love for the streets cause him to return to hustling when faced with adversity? Whatever his choice may be; Tree knows he must make the right decisions or lose his freedom and what matters most to him, Audumn.
