Books by Ellen H. Baer
Lessons from Apple Trees, Rainy Days, and Johnny Woodchuck is a collection of art and essays by writer Ellen Holmes Baer and artist Joyce Hopkins, two friends whose original intent was to provide Christmas gifts for friends and family. Now in its third printing, the book remains a favorite for gift giving. Described in a local paper as “delightful” and “enlightening,” the essays are inspired by experiences as long ago as Baer’s Mississippi childhood and as recent as the election of 2004.
Traveling Far and Near and Other Essays is the second collection of reflections and remembrances by Ellen Holmes Baer, a Mississippi native who now calls North Carolina home. A collaboration with Durham artist Joyce Hopkins, the book features a unique book design and cover art inspired by the Eno River. Described in a local paper as “engaging” and “thought-provoking,” the essays recall journeys to a few foreign lands but mostly use familiar places and everyday experiences as opportunities for learning and transformation. Proceeds from the sale of Lessons from Apple Trees are donated to Episcopal Relief and Development. Proceeds from the sale of Traveling Far and Near are donated to St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Roxboro NC.
