A Little Zoo with a BIG Heart . . . One of Michigan's best-kept secrets is tucked away between a railroad and a river near downtown Lansing. Founded in 1920, Potter Park Zoo is the state's oldest accredited zoo, yet today there are still Lansing residents who have never heard of it.

Little Zoo by the Red Cedar: The Stor...y of Potter Park Zoo makes up for this neglect by revealing the true story of how caring people have kept the zoo alive.

Small and largely underfunded, the zoo has survived to become a respected educational and wildlife research center-and a fun place to spend the day!

In an isolated European farm town in 1906, a Pastor known as ‘the rabbit killer’ is preaching that the overrun of rabbits is a parallel for sin and corruption. But when Cora—a farmer’s daughter—befriends a rogue rabbit named Basajaun, she becomes enmeshed in a hierarchy of sentient rabbit armies and ceremony. Soon the ...secret behind the rabbits’ plight is unraveling, and Cora is fighting to save the lives of those she loves—as well as her own.

Michigan resident Rosemary Van Deuren has worked previously as a freelance illustrator, sculptor and painter for magazines, books and galleries. Basajaun is her first novel.

Please join EVERYbody Reads as we welcome back Lansing's resident baseball scribe, Peter Morris.

Catcher, which has received splendid early reviews from Publisher's Weekly and other critics, (http://www.becauseeverybodyreads.com/Catcher.htm) is Peter's 6th and most recent baseball offering. Earlier works have received ...the Michigan Notable Authors Award and both the Seymour Medal and CASEY Award, the highest honors available to baseball writers.

About the Author
Peter Morris's most recent previous book is But Didn't We Have Fun?, a widely praised informal history of the early days of baseball before it turned professional. His A Game of Inches, a compendium of baseball's innovations, was called "magisterial" by the Boston Globe and was the first book ever to win both the Seymour Medal and the Casey Award as the best baseball book of the year. A former national and international Scrabble champion, Mr. Morris lives in Haslett, Michigan.

The EVERYbody Reads Book Store in Lansing, is pleased to announce that local author, Lev Raphael, will be doing an Author Signing Wednesday March 18th from 7- 8:30PM at the store.

Raphael’s 19th and just released book My Germany, has received very enthusiastic reviews, including:

"As the New York-born son of eastern Eu...ropean Jews who barely survived the Holocaust, Lev Raphael grew up in a world haunted by secrets and ghosts. Having spent years fleeing from his parents’ past, he decided to confront that past and, in the process, to come to grips with Germany, the country he blamed for the horrors visited on his parents and, indirectly, on himself. My Germany is part travelogue and part detective story, as Raphael sets out to trace what happened to his parents and their families during the war. Above all, it is a wholly enthralling, beautifully written story of healing and forgiveness, in which Raphael not only sheds his hatred and fear of Germany but comes to a deeper, richer understanding of his parents and Jewish heritage—and, above all, of himself."
—Lynne Olson
Author of Troublesome Young Men



The evening’s readings and signing are free and open to the public.

Everybody Dreams, by Michael Stratton, follows marital therapist, Emma Davis, whose dreams have become nightmares. Struggling to understand their meaning, and appreciating the irony of having become the wounded healer, she begins a Dream Group with select clients, all of whom suffer troubling dreamscapes of their own. ...Together, Emma hopes they can all decipher the lies and symbolism of sleep to discover the truth that lies behind the fantasia, and so transform their collective chimeras into the answers they all seek.

Stratton’s Everybody Dreams explores a mysterious and unknown world within us all. Told through masterful prose, author Stratton weaves a complex world populated by fascinating characters, yet in it all manages to find the humanity, compassion, and spirit that unites everyone who struggles with life’s vicissitudes. This is a book that will entertain everyone who loves a well-told story, be it in the “real” world or the world of dreams.

About the Author

He's given presentations on dream work from Maui to Mackinac Island. Michael is has also published poetry and hosts his own jazz radio show The Vinyl Side Of Midnight.
