  Shandy by Ron Goulart is a witty, offbeat science fiction story that showcases his trademark blend of humor and human insight. At its heart is Nancy Tanner and her unusual companion, Shandy—a teddy bear, a lion, an ape, and something far stranger. What begins as a lighthearted look at affection and rivalry evolves into a reflection on identity and emotion in a world where technology and fantasy intertwine. Like much of Goulart’s work, Shandy balances satire and sentiment, using absurd situations to reveal truths about love, loneliness, and what it means to be human. His sharp dialogue and breezy style make the story both funny and unsettling, a perfect example of how he could infuse whimsy with warmth. 
  Ron Goulart (1933–2022) was one of the most versatile and prolific voices in American popular fiction. Born in Berkeley, California, he wrote hundreds of stories and novels across genres—science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and comic adventure—often marked by his quick wit and social satire. A frequent contributor to Galaxy and If magazines, Goulart was also known for his media tie-in novels and for reviving pulp heroes like The Avenger. Beyond fiction, he was a noted historian of comics and pulp literature, authoring nonfiction works such as Cheap Thrills and Comic Book Culture. Goulart’s writing combined humor with compassion, capturing the eccentricities of modern life and the absurdities of technology with a light but insightful touch. His work remains a bridge between the pulp era’s exuberance and the self-aware irony of modern speculative fiction.

  RENEE: I was ten years old then, and my sister was eight. The responsibility was on me to warn everyone when the soldiers were coming because my sister and both my parents were deaf. 
   
   
   
  I was my family's ears. 
   
   
   
  Meet Renee and Herta, two sisters who faced the unimaginable—together. This is their true story. 
   
   
   
  As Jews living in 1940s Czechoslovakia, Renee, Herta, and their parents were in immediate danger when the Holocaust came to their door. As the only hearing person in her family, Renee had to alert her parents and sister whenever the sound of Nazi boots approached their home so they could hide. 
   
   
   
  But soon their parents were tragically taken away, and the two sisters went on the run, desperate to find a safe place to hide. Eventually they, too, would be captured and taken to the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Communicating in sign language and relying on each other for strength in the midst of illness, death, and starvation, Renee and Herta would have to fight to survive the darkest of times. 
   
   
   
  This gripping memoir is a testament to the power of sisterhood and love, and now more than ever a reminder of how important it is to honor the past, and keep telling our own stories.

  This collection of fifty original New Year nursery rhymes was specifically created for children aged six to eight, drawing inspiration from the beloved tradition of Christmas carols and rhymes but focusing entirely on the themes of transition, celebration, and new beginnings associated with the New Year. The primary purpose of these rhymes is to provide engaging, age-appropriate literary content that introduces young readers to the customs, emotions, and excitement surrounding the end of one year and the start of the next. 
  Each rhyme, crafted to be approximately 1,000 characters long, explores a unique facet of the holiday. Themes range from the thrilling anticipation of the **New Year's Countdown** and the spectacle of **Fireworks in the Sky** to the quieter, more reflective moments of **Making Resolutions** and watching **The Last Sunset of the Year**. The collection also covers cultural and symbolic elements, such as the meaning of **Auld Lang Syne**, the folklore of **Father Time and Baby New Year**, and various **Good Luck Traditions**. 
  By blending whimsical storytelling with rhythmic language, the rhymes aim to foster literacy, encourage family discussion about traditions, and cultivate a sense of hope and optimism for the future. The accompanying book cover images, designed to be visually appealing and thematically rich, further enhance the collection's potential as a valuable resource for parents, educators, and young readers looking to celebrate the New Year with joy and imagination. The entire project serves as a comprehensive, festive literary toolkit for welcoming the brand new year.
