Zelda the Welder
Just because we girls welded was no reason to ignore our femininity.
It is the winter of 1943. The United States, deep into World War II, relies upon women to help build warships. Thinking this is more essential than typing notes and legal briefs, twenty-year-old Zelda gets a job release to become an electric arc welder at Kearny Federal Shipyard. One day, she and car-pool buddy, Janice, are assigned to work on the top deck of a destroyer escort. But Janice doesn't show up on the DE or for the ride home. Something is terribly wrong. Zelda vows to find her missing friend, despite their leering foreman and the obstacles he puts in her way.

Rose and Rita in Prairie Park Zoo
These are marmosets, one of the tiniest of the primates in the monkey world. They have white tufts above their ears and their fur is a marbled brown and white, dense and silky. At the end of their long tails is a brown and white stripe. They turn their heads in small jerks, and can climb trees like a squirrel, but have five digit hands and feet and perform like the monkeys they are. We read of our two young marmosets and their many adventures in their first book, Rose and Rita’s Journey. They fled their burning home in the Amazon Rainforest, traveled to Miami Beach in Florida, then on to a zoo in the mid-west of the United States, all the while looking for their missing mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and friends. In the end, they find the missing troops in Prairie Park Zoo. Rose and Rita are happy again. In their second book, Rose and Rita in Prairie Park Zoo, unhappiness hits again when they lose the families once more. They must find them, no matter what it takes. This is the continued tale of our marmosets, the many delightful, new, and different kinds of friends they make, and their exciting adventures at their new home in the zoo.
