'The Trouble with Howard' is based on the real-life story of Howard and Anita Millican, racers who rescued a baby skunk on the way to the racetrack. They named him Trouble.
Trouble traveled with them to all the races. He dug in toolboxes, dove into coolers, and really liked hot dogs. With a skunk named Trouble at a racetrack, what could possibly go wrong?
Written by my fabulous “Partnership Strategist” and Marketing Guru for my book, Lee Anne draws on her past racing experience to create this marvelous children’s book. It has been positively reviewed by Blue Ink Reviews, receiving a coveted “star” rating. Check it out today!

Inventing the airplane was not easy. Nor was it a feat of genius. Wilbur and Orville Wright were successful where so many others failed because they were engineers. The Wright Engineers: Inventing the Airplane puts the reader elbow-to-elbow with the brothers as they solve the many technical challenges that finally led to success.
They even faced discouragement, Wilbur lamenting, “Not within a thousand years would man ever fly.” But with determination and good engineering practice, the brothers knocked down the obstacles one by one, inventing new technologies and discovering the basic science of flight.
Their marriage of aeronautical science and aircraft technology took flight on that cold, windy December day in 1903 and opened the era of modern aviation. This lavishly illustrated book is perfect for educating and inspiring middle-grade students who are interested in aviation or becoming engineers.
Written by Brian Page, a historian and engineer, it outlines the technical hurdles the Wright Brother's faced in creating the world's first powered flying machine.
Complete with colorized images, the book lays the ground work for an introductory examination of the engineering considerations the brothers faced. Suitable for middle school students and above.
