Beschreibung

In "A Book of Nimble Beasts: Bunny Rabbit, Squirrel, Toad, and 'Those Sort of People,'" Douglas English intricately weaves together a tapestry of whimsical narratives centered around a cast of charming woodland creatures. Through his playful prose and vivid imagery, English masterfully explores themes of friendship, identity, and the interdependence of nature, all while employing a delightful blend of lyrical and allegorical literary styles. The book invites readers into a captivating world where anthropomorphic animals engage in adventures that reveal the complexities of their lives and the morality embedded in their actions, set against the backdrop of a vibrant natural landscape that resonates with both children and adults alike. Douglas English, a dedicated naturalist and storyteller, draws inspiration from his extensive experience in wildlife observation and his passion for the environment. His rich understanding of animal behavior and ecosystems lends a layer of authenticity to the narrative, allowing him to create characters that are both relatable and reflective of human society. English'Äôs work is heavily influenced by classic children'Äôs literature, bridging the gap between educational content and enchanting storytelling, ensuring that his lessons are imparted with charm and laughter. I highly recommend "A Book of Nimble Beasts" to readers seeking a fresh take on classic animal fables. Its delightful narrative will not only entertain young readers but also spark meaningful discussions about relationships with nature and each other. This book serves as a timeless reminder of the lessons we can learn from the simplest creatures among us.

    "Will you please come back and play for the club Aoife?". Aidan asks his twin sister this question every week. Twins, Aoife and Aidan Power, along with their four best friends love playing Gaelic football. They spend most evenings after school playing football in the green in their picturesque rural village of "Droichead Beag". Aoife and Aidan are skilful and fast but when they combine on the same team, "Twin Power" is unleashed and they have an almost telepathic communication on the pitch, leading to some spectacular scores.
    But while Aoife loves football, an incident at a match almost two years earlier saw her stop training and playing with her local GAA club, Droichead Beag GAA. Aidan knows what happened, but Aoife refuses to tell her friends. Could it have something to do with their Under 12 counterparts in Gorman GAA, the rival parish team of Droichead Beag, where old rivalries run deep?
    And how will Aoife's refusal to play affect their school team when the children's teacher Ms. Kelly, herself a former All- Star football player announces an exciting new school's football competition, "Star Schools GAA"?
    Parish rivalries re-surface and threaten to get out of hand as the children of Droichead Beag National School fight tooth and nail to get their hands on the coveted first ever Star Schools Cup.

    God loves kids, and his really good plan is for kids to grow up in loving families with everything they need to be safe, happy, and whole. But the brokenness in the world has caused really big problems in some families. Because God loves these families, he provides people to help them, as well as foster families to welcome the kids who need safe and loving homes. How can we help young kids--kids in foster families, kids in foster care, or kids simply learning--to understand foster care in a gentle and biblical way?

Beginning with God's initial plan for kids and families, the story introduces, with compassion and sensitivity, the challenges that bring about the need for foster care, what it looks like for foster families to show up for kids, and the different feelings everyone involved in foster care may experience. The book ends where it begins, with the promise that God has a good plan for the kids he loves.  
           
    This unique resource helps children understand foster care and how they can trust God and his good plan to redeem every single story.
