  When Kip Tiernan was growing up during the Great Depression, she’d help her granny feed the men who came to their door asking for help. As Kip grew older, and as she continued to serve food to hungry people, she noticed something peculiar: huddled at the back of serving lines were women dressed as men. At the time, it was believed that there were no women experiencing homelessness. And yet Kip would see women sleeping on park benches and searching for food in trash cans. Kip decided to open the first shelter for women—a shelter with no questions asked, no required chores, just good meals and warm beds. With persistence, Kip took on the city of Boston in her quest to open Rosie's Place, our nation's first shelter for women. Kip Tiernan's story of humanity and tenacity reveals how one person's dream can make a huge difference and that small acts of kindness can lead to great things.

  Gardening with Children - Fun...

  Gardening with children is more than just a hobby—it’s an adventure in discovery, learning, and connection. When kids dig their hands into the soil, they’re not only planting seeds, they’re nurturing curiosity, responsibility, and a love for the natural world. Whether you have a spacious backyard, a community garden plot, or just a few pots on a balcony, gardening offers endless opportunities to engage children in meaningful, hands-on experiences. 
  In our increasingly digital world, time spent outdoors has never been more valuable. Gardening draws children away from screens and invites them to slow down, observe, and interact with the rhythms of nature. They get to see firsthand how a tiny seed can grow into a leafy green, a colorful flower, or a juicy tomato. These small miracles become moments of wonder, sparking questions and encouraging exploration. 
  But the benefits of gardening go beyond the science of how things grow. It also supports important life skills—like patience, teamwork, and problem-solving. Children learn how to plan, care for living things, adapt to changes, and celebrate the rewards of their efforts. It fosters a sense of responsibility and accomplishment, as they take ownership of their plants and see the results of consistent care. Along the way, there are plenty of opportunities for creativity and play, whether they’re painting pots, building bug hotels, or designing their own fairy garden.

  Doctor Dolittle, the man who can speak with the animals, is back home but running short of money to care for all the animals who need his help. He invites animals into his garden and encourages them to build their own societies and come and go as they please. This works very well. He has a mouse and rat town, a dog community, a burrow for badgers, and so forth. This does not make any money and only gets him into trouble with his neighbors. But the stories told by these mice and rats are entertaining and fun. And there is a murder mystery too, which Kling, the dog detective, helps solve. All of this with Lofting's usual delightful whimsy and light hearted touch that make you smile at every other sentence. -
