Joey and his friends learn that we can use the starts to help find our way home, just like God used stars to guide the three kings to Baby Jesus. Featuring the fun feathery friends from the Owlegories video series, this new line of books from Sparkhouse Family will have preschoolers giggling as they learn about the ways nature teaches us about God.
Thomas Boyd was raised by his mother's family due to his father's death before he was born. While still in school, he and a friend enlisted in the US Marine Corps and saw service in France, where he was gassed in 1918.
Upon discharge from the occupation forces in 1919, Boyd tried several occupations before becoming a writer for newspapers in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. He opened a bookstore, Kilmarnock Books, in St. Paul, which became the locus of literary figures, including Sinclair Lewis. He was urged to write and produced the 1923 novel, Through the Wheat, based in part on his own war experiences.
Boyd later remarried and became interested in Socialist causes during the Depression, eventually running as the Communist candidate for governor of Vermont.
