Outside ABCs
Outside ABCs isn’t just another alphabet book, it turns the natural world into a classroom. In this delightful book, Janice D. Green pairs every letter of the alphabet with something children can actually spot outside. The Charming Seymore the Look-Again-Owl challenges them to find even more on the pages. Kids won’t just memorize the alphabet – they will learn to observe, wonder, and discover the living world around them. Vibrant, detailed illustrations by Jonathan Huff bring each page to life, making this a book children will return to again and again – not because they have to, but because they genuinely want to.

Janice,
You ladies do a wonderful job. I was so impressed. I didn’t want to leave just one comment on one of the posts they are all WONDERFUL and so full of good ideas, crafts and things. I wish you all much success on this wonderful project and your own careers. Thanks for sharing the link. I’ll be checking in regularly.
Billie
Thank you Billie. By the way, I heard your blog radio interview a few minutes ago and now I want to read your book, Look for the Raven.
Hi Janice,
I have been looking for you for years. I think you are the one and only who was my roommate at MTSU and who made my wedding dress. Please email me so I can at least call and talk with you sometime.
You are a wonderful friend whom I greatly appreciate and will never forget. It has been over 40 years and that is much to long to be out of touch.
Please email me as soon as you can.
Take care and God bless you and your family.
Ricki
YES Ricki! It’s really me! I will email and call and look for you on Facebook too! I have looked for you online too and given up. Thanks for leaving a message.
Hi,
Our church, Highland Baptist Tabernacle in Blue Ridge, Ga, annually hosts a fall carnival for the children in our small town. We provide everything free to the children and their families, including food, games, entertainment, prizes and goodie bags. I am trying to procure enough childrens’ books (preferably Christian) for each child’s goodie bag. My goal is 200. Would you be able to donate one or more of your books for our cause? Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Jan Holley, on behalf of
Highland Baptist Tabernacle

Jan Holley, look for an email from me.
