  Rovi is a healthy Bengal Tiger living and hunting in a jungle in India. When chasing an animal for his dinner, he discovered a different world outside his territory- a small village with a mission church and orphanage. The sight of people and the smell of food cooking made him curious. The residents were frightened when they saw Rovi raise his head and roar at the unusual sight. A shot by a villager grazed Rovi's back. 
  Rovi became very angry and decided to return the next evening to get revenge. The madder he got, the brighter his eyes shined until they became bright as coals of fire. 
  On the path, his attention was drawn to a happy sound in the sky. Santa Claus was happy to see Rovi's eyes and asked him to guide him through the jungle. Anger left him and he was happy to run to the village. 
  Santa introduced him to the villagers who welcomed him. His life changed when he became friends with Manbir, a young orphan boy, and they heard the story of the first Christmas from the missionary. 
  As Rovi left the village, he roared and the villagers understood that he said, "Think Love!" 
  In Rovi's next book, Rovi and Manbir have Christmas dinner with the village and share fun times.

  From Barbara Dee, the critically acclaimed author of Maybe He Just Likes You, comes a middle grade novel about a girl who makes the choice to speak out against a problematic historical hometown figure no matter the cost—perfect for readers of Dress Coded. 
    
  For as long as Freya can remember, she has loved living in her cozy hometown of Wellstone. Not only is the town itself named for local and historical hero Benjamin Wellstone but everything in it: schools, beaches, and stores. There’s even a giant statue of him to remind everyone of the good things he did. 
    
  But while doing research for a big school project, Freya discovers that Benjamin isn’t the big hero everyone has been taught to believe. He had some redeeming qualities, but he also held incredibly problematic views towards women, believing they shouldn’t have the right to vote—or even to exist outside of the home. Disappointed by her revelation, Freya wonders if she could figure out a way to not only show what the hometown hero was really like but replace his statue with one of an unsung hero: local suffragette Octavia Padgett. 
    
  Though Freya knows not everyone will agree with her, she is shocked when her efforts cause even bigger issues than she could have imagined. Even her own parents seem uneasy with Freya’s cause. With the help of her beloved Nan, friends new and old, and the coolest librarian she’s ever met, can Freya stand firm and tear down outdated views?

  Cold War Presidents The: The...

  Among America’s presidents, Harry Truman’s presidency produced some of the nation’s most crucial decisions and left one of the nation’s most unique legacies. As president, Truman would lay the groundwork for the next 50 years of American foreign policy, as the architect of Cold War containment, the man who signed off on the Marshall Plan, and the commander-in-chief during much of the Korean War. 
  Despite being one of America’s oldest presidents, Eisenhower redefined the public relations nature of the office, in addition to positioning America during the Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union. But Eisenhower’s most lasting contribution as president was the construction of the interstate highway system, and it was in the final year of his presidency that his administration planned and implemented the Apollo space program that would land men on the Moon in 1969.  
  In 1961, Kennedy made it seem like anything was possible, and Americans were eager to believe him. The Kennedy years were fondly and famously labeled “Camelot,” by Jackie herself, suggesting an almost mythical quality about the young President and his family. 
  Of all the politicians who have left their mark on American history, few have had a political career or list of accomplishments and accolades that can even come close to rivaling Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson is one of only 4 Americans to serve as a House Rep, U.S. Senator, Vice President and President, and he made the most out of each experience.  
  The 70+ year old former actor Ronald Reagan went on to have one of the most consequential presidencies of the 20th century, unquestionably making him one of the most influential men of the last 50 years. And his name is still as relevant in American politics today, with every politician with an R next to his or her name trying to claim Ronald Reagan’s conservative mantle.

  Hooray, it’s August! Spid boards the train to Spidlins holiday camp at Spidwell-by-the-Sea for a summer holiday he’ll never forget. Which is exactly what he gets – but not for the reasons he might think … as ever he faces lots of setbacks but wins through in the end.This audiobook features two songs:  'Surfin' Spidwell Bay' and 'Holiday'.  Surfin’ Spidwell Bay pays homage to holidays at Spidwell Bay. It combines The Beach Boys’ surf vibe with Bill Haley’s ‘Shake, rattle and roll’.  In Holiday, Spid sings about his holiday experiences. You can only hope they are not yours! You can also watch music videos of Spid's songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider/.Spid is a lowly spider, who writes songs, wants to better himself,  and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to listen to with, their children.  The humour also works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy listening to the stories multiple times. The books are accompanied by lots of free parent and teacher materials to help children read, write, grow and succeed in life. Find them at https://spidthespider.com/fun-childrens-activities/.
