After a terrifically hard and terribly disappointing day before the Fourth of July, Peanut Johnson, wandering aimlessly down Main Street, stumbles upon The Capital Z, a This and That Shop. Stepping inside, he meets Mr. Aloysious Zip, the kind and eccentric shopkeeper, who introduces Peanut to a most extraordinary place. There are toys and trinkets, model cars and miniature wagon trains, even memorabilia from days gone by. Discovering the wonders of The Capital Z, Peanut finds not only anything and everything a young boy could imagine or want, but also history unfolding before his very eyes. Touching a Kentucky rifle hanging on the shop wall, he is transported to the wilderness where he sees his Great-Great-Great-Great Uncle Milkweed Johnson fighting in Andrew Jackson's regiment during the War of 1812. George Washington's sword brings Peanut onto the battlefield where the General, on horseback, dodges bullet after bullet. And while staring at a beautiful stained-glass window depicting the building of the Tower of Babel, Peanut finds himself in a crowd of angry and confused spectators, all speaking a different language! But Peanut's visit to The Capital Z turns out to be much more than a journey through history. As he peers into the past with his Uncle Milkweed and some of America's greatest leaders, he finds courage and hope to face his own mistakes, taking his first steps from boyhood to those of a young man.

Review History comes to life in this enjoyable tale of a boy exploring a unique town store. If school books were written this way, kids would be more interested in learning! Characters feel like instant friends, and life lessons are carefully interwoven. I highly recommend it for school-aged children! (And, you may find yourself stealing this book from your child--I couldn't put it down!) --Julie Kroenig Forbes, blogger for Baby Rabies and former WKRN anchorMr. Zip and the Capital Z is like climbing up into your grandfather's lap to hear him tell a great old story. But like every good grandfather tale, there is always more than a story there is a life lesson. Using history, timeless wisdom, and an array of curious characters, Kimberly Bryant-Palmer introduces us to a precocious young boy, Peanut Johnston, who enters the magical world of The Capital Z and is forever changed. This coming of age story promises to engage your imagination and warm your heart while teaching some of the most important lessons of life. Trust me, you will not be disappointed! --Rev. Nate Shurden, Senior Pastor, Cornerstone Presbyterian Church, Franklin, TNWith her heartwarming accounts of the adventures of Peanut Johnson, Kimberly Bryant-Palmer not only breathes life into a delightful family of characters, but she immerses those characters and the reader into a well of historical events leaving us thirsty for more. Mr. Zip and The Capital Z is more than a fun read (although it is that!). It's a learning experience...and it challenges the reader, no matter the age, to discover the secrets that make us who we are. The book is beautifully illustrated by renowned artist Jerry Palmer who just happens to be Kimberly's husband. His drawings will draw you into the magical world of Mr. Zip as he teaches Peanut Johnson that sometimes we are who we are, because we are who we were. As the writer of Mr. Zip and The Capital Z, Kimberly-Bryant Palmer may have reached her zenith. I love this book, and my grandchildren do too! --Roxane Atwood, Independent Broadcast and Media Specialist, Producer and Writer for PBS, The Nashville Network, CBS, and The Armed Forces Radio Network
About the Author Kimberly Bryant-Palmer never dreamed of becoming a writer, but always loved reading her favorite authors being James Michener, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Harper Lee. Kimberly received her Bachelor of Arts degree in both music and biology from Mary Washington College (now The University of Mary Washington). While in graduate school, studying music theory, she worked a short time in cancer research before going on to write and record a CD, Just Enough. But it was when she met an artist named Jerry Palmer, and wrote the introduction for a book idea he had carried in his head for 25 years, that she found what she truly loved to do. Mr. Zip and The Capital Z, a story of restoration and hope, tells of a young, dark-skinned American boy, Peanut Johnson, who has just endured a terrifically hard and terribly disappointing day. In this tale, Kimberly explores matters of the heart while taking her readers on a magical journey through history. As she wrote, Jerry sketched the characters, and together, they brought the eccentric Mr. Zip, the tenderhearted Peanut, and his hilarious, lovable family to life.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. but also some wonderful life lessons By Cheryl M Nelson Mr. Zip and the Capital Z is a delightful story of a little boy, Peanut Johnson, and his unexpected adventure into Mr. Zip's shop. He learns not only lessons in history, but also some wonderful life lessons. You are drawn into the story with Peanut as he curiosity takes him on a tour that changes his outlook by the end. He learns to trust Mr. Zip, who becomes his guide, as he experiences the story told with sensitivity and excitement. The illustrations are fantastic and so well matched with the story. I am looking forward to the next book that Kimberly Bryant-Palmer writes and Jerry Palmer illustrates! I would recommend this book to any teacher as a supplement to literature and history and as a resource rich with content and engaging for young readers.-Cheryl Nelson

By Ditzydotts Mr. Zip and the Capital Z is such a fun story that kids won't even notice that they're learning lessons from American history! This story follows Peanut Johnson through the disappointment of a very bad day, to the adventures awaiting him in the most interesting of shops, as guided by the most interesting of shopkeepers. Your young readers/listeners will be as surprised and delighted as Peanut himself to discover the "magic" of the shop, and may learn a few life lessons along the way. Beautifully illustrated, and historically and biblically accurate, this book is sure to become one of your child's favorites.

Mr. Zip and the Capital Z is packed full of painless history lessons, and before you know it, you are drawn into Mr. Zip's world. The footnotes are an added bonus as I have learned to take most history books with an attitude of, "how do they know that?" The illustrations are so detailed and I guess my favorite one was of the inside of the shop. They truly put a face to a name! I am very much looking forward to future adventures in The Capital Z!
