Summary

In "Little Sunbeam," Eleanora H. Stooke offers a poignant exploration of childhood innocence juxtaposed with the pervasive shadows of societal expectation. This eloquently crafted narrative unfolds through a blend of lyrical prose and vivid imagery, painting a rich tapestry of a young girl's experiences in a world that is both enchanting and daunting. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, Stooke meticulously captures the nuances of family dynamics, societal pressures, and the fleeting nature of joy, all while maintaining a tone that oscillates between nostalgia and a subtle critique of contemporary mores. Eleanora H. Stooke, a dedicated educator and ardent advocate for children's literature, has infused her own insights and experiences into this work. Growing up in a time when children's voices were often muted, her literary journey has aimed to amplify the perspectives of the young. Stooke's passion for fostering creativity in children is mirrored in her characters, making "Little Sunbeam" not just a story, but a reflection of her belief in the inherent value of childhood dreams and aspirations. I highly recommend "Little Sunbeam" to those seeking a thoughtful and evocative read that delights both the heart and mind. Perfect for educators, parents, and anyone who cherishes the unadulterated joy of youth, this book serves as a gentle reminder of the resilience of hope and the beauty that can emerge even in the face of adversity.

We Are A Circus is the charming, autobiographical tale of a rainbow family, riding around Thessaloniki on a bike. They are poor and living precariously, but they are happy together and have fun in the sun and in the rain (though sometimes they get a bit cold).
As the book progresses, we follow them through the seasons, playing and cycling and fending off the weather. When their landlord turfs them out of their house, things get more serious as they have to find a new home, fast.
Nasta has created an exuberant, compassionate story, which is beautifully complemented by Rosie Fencott's energetic artwork.

We are a circus.
Fortunately not like the ones that train animals.
(Fortunately means "happiness")
We are trained by animals! They even make us jump through flaming hoops!

I am kidding. Animals would never do this.

Twelve-year-old underachiever Rob has better things to do than read. His parents give him lots of books but most of them just end up in the messy pile of junk he keeps locked in his closet that once doubled as a makeshift science laboratory. One day, Rob hears weird sounds coming from behind his closet door and discovers a funny little creature that seems to be a cross between two characters from books he's tried to ignore. He names him Wonkenstein. Keeping track of "Wonk" is hard work. But with help from friends and a little off-the-wall magic, Rob and Wonkenstein's crazy adventures set the stage for great laughs . . . and Rob might even read some good books along the way.
