Synopsis

In "Nancy First and Last," Amy Ella Blanchard intricately weaves a narrative centered on the titular character, Nancy, whose journey of self-discovery unfolds in a series of poignant vignettes. This work, characterized by Blanchard's lyrical prose and vivid imagery, explores themes of identity, resilience, and the nuances of human relationships in a rapidly changing world. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the book captures the social dynamics and cultural shifts of the time, providing a rich literary context that enhances its emotional depth and invites readers to reflect on the nature of belonging and personal growth. Amy Ella Blanchard was a prominent American author known for her children's literature, and her dedication to capturing the complexities of youth informs every page of this novel. Her own experiences as a woman in the early 1900s, along with her understanding of the societal expectations placed on young women, likely influenced her empathetic portrayal of Nancy. Blanchard's ability to resonate with young readers and adults alike is grounded in her connection to her characters, transforming her stories into reflective mirrors of her audience's lives. "Nancy First and Last" is a compelling read that resonates with anyone who has grappled with identity and belonging. Blanchard's masterful storytelling invites readers into a heartfelt exploration of life's beginnings and endings, making it a must-read for those interested in the intricacies of personal growth and the universality of human experience.

    Can Edie uncover a hidden crime and bring the perpetrators to justice once agai
    Throughout the book and the series, Anthony explores how things are not always what they seem - how our 'thinking' often represents our imagined reality rather than what is necessarily true - and examines the nature of the link between thoughts and feelings. In so doing he gives readers the tools they need to understand their thoughts and emotions better and to connect with their inner wellbeing so that they can live happier, more fulfilled lives.

The two girls find their own ways to communicate, which includes collecting other people's discarded words. They use the words to write anonymous supportive poems for their classmates, but then someone begins leaving nasty messages using the same method – and the girls are blamed.

    One summer, when both his parents are away for work, Oskar is sent to the countryside to live with his grandma. A dreary prospect turns into disaster when Oskar realises he left his mobile phone back at home. What will he do all summer now?
    Lonely and bored, Oskar crafts a phone out of a block of wood he finds in the shed and uses it to pretend to call things. To his surprise, the things reply! He speaks to a tough-talking iron, a poetising bin, a bloodthirsty wardrobe, a red balloon that gets tangled in the crown of a birch tree, and many more. Oskar finds himself in high demand, helping the things solve their problems and achieve their dreams.
    Oskar and the Things is a charming book about the power of the imagination and friendship, by Estonia's leading children's writer, Andrus Kivirähk. With a lively translation by Adam Cullen, and the original illustrations by Anne Pikkov, it is the perfect gift for an introverted child with a rich inner life.

    What parents everywhere are saying ... 
    “My high-energy toddler twins are asleep in 15 minutes. Bedtime used to take nearly 2 hours—but with Rocket’s calming narration and the beautiful stories from the Yawnimals box set, our nights have totally transformed. They YAWN on cue when Rocket YAWNS, and they’re asleep before the story ends.”  
    - Heather Schalk, Toddler Toolkit Podcast, Mother of 2 toddlers 
    “Their favorites are Amanda the Panda (they love the journey), Benny the Bear (truly magical for relaxation), and Lincoln the Lizard (hello, Monster Trucks!).” 
    “The stories are soothing, my toddlers love the illustrations, and this is now our must-have bedtime ritual. I can’t recommend this enough—it’s a total lifesaver for tired parents.”
