"One night at the farm, Albert was outside raking the field and burning weeds. Julie ran out in her dressing gown to see her father and tripped, falling into one of the burning piles of weeds. Her nightgown caught fire and she panicked and began running around, which further fanned the flames.
Albert wrapped her up quickly in an effort to put out the fire.
She was taken to Swift Current hospital to treat third degree burns on her thighs and arms and stayed in hospital to recover for six months.
Her mother, Sarah, stayed by her side, biding her time knitting, crocheting, and tatting. She was able to sell the finished pieces to help pay for Julie’s hospital stay."

William, Oliver, and Henry knew a lot about trains. One day they came up with an outstanding idea: to make a train that could FLY.
Inspired by the author's beloved nephews, Train of the Skies is a story about three brothers who bring a very special train to life, showing bravery in the face of danger and working together as a team to take on new challenges.
Three brothers work together to build a space train that takes them on a dangerous cosmic adventure where they must use their gifts to retrieve their alien friends' flying saucer on a planet light years away.
Train of the Cosmos is the sequel to Train of the Skies.
