DESCRIPTION:The exhibition (Not) At Home features the work of five artists
 : Katie Garth\, Lois Harada\, Tom Jones\, Sean Morrissey\, and Henry Payer
 . The selected works offer a space to consider ideas of home and in many c
 ases\, dislocation from home. The works also explore the tensions between 
 the built and natural environment. When grouped together\, the works offer
  a space for reflection on how people interact with the land and how feeli
 ngs of home and placemaking can be seen in the context of dislocation and 
 displacement. (Not) At Home is curated by Lilah Anderson. The exhibition w
 ill be on display at the Anderson Gallery in the Harmon Fine Arts Center a
 t Drake University from Sept 11 to Oct 18\, Sun to Sat from 12-4pm and unt

SUMMARY:09/21 | Book Launch - Rebecca Janni

DESCRIPTION:At the beginning of all things\, God spoke\, and a family tree
  sprouted in the dust. Adam and Eve were the first branches\, but soon thi
 s beautiful tree came to include Noah\, Abraham\, Jesse\, King David\, and
  eventually Jesus… \nBranch retells the journey from sin to salvation th
 rough stirring poetry and a wonderfully accessible metaphor of trees\, gar
 dens\, and plants. Luminous art from Michelle Carlos overflows with striki
 ng Old and New Testament imagery\, which is explained further in back matt
 er notes from the author and illustrator. Whether readers are hearing this
  story for the first–or hundredth–time\, they’ll find something new 
 to discover on this expansive journey from Genesis to Revelation. Branch 
 is an unforgettable book to share during all seasons\, especially around C
 hristmas and Easter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto Credit – Courtney Wil
 son\nRebecca Janni (pronounced Yawn-nee) goes by Rebecca on paper\, Becky 
 in voice and sign language (sign name: B handshape\, tap opposite shoulder
 )\, and “Mom” to six adult and young adult children. She lives in Stil
 lwater\, MN with her husband James\, their youngest daughter Elizabeth\, a
 nd their two dogs Ollie and Louie.  \nYoung Becky learned early that biki
 ng was the best way to get around the neighborhood and reading was the bes
 t way to get around the world. On a bus ride home from school\, she confid
 ed to a friend that she was working on a novel about a girl and her horse.
  She never finished the novel\, but a horse of a different hoof shows up i
 n her Every Cowgirl series.  \nHer newest book\, Branch: A Resurrection S
 tory\, is her “heart on paper\,” exploring the connection between her 
 faith and writing. For as long as she can remember\, her most profound mom
 ents of prayer and worship have happened with a blank sheet of paper and a
  pen. Whether she is journaling\, writing for ministry\, or creating a wor
 k of fiction\, writing feeds her faith and faith enriches her writing. \nR
 ebecca holds a BA in English and French from Iowa State University and an 
 MAT in English Education from Boston University. She has enjoyed teaching 
 both high school and college. In addition to writing children’s books\, 
 Rebecca has written for Meredith Corporation publications\, local ministri
 es\, and education curricula. She loves visiting schools\, universities an
 d libraries\, offering story times and writing workshops. If you invite he
 r\, she might pedal into your neighborhood\, too! \n \n  \nBeaverdale Boo
 ks is proud to donate 10% of the book’s event sales to Central Iowa Deaf
  Academy\, an organization committed to academic excellence\, spiritual fo
 rmation\, and social-emotional growth to equip Deaf students for lifelong 
 success\, service\, and faith-filled living.
