Summary

In the 'FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT Ultimate Collection (Illustrated),' readers are transported into the enchanting worlds crafted by one of the most beloved authors of children's literature. This comprehensive anthology features Burnett's timeless classics, including 'The Secret Garden,' 'A Little Princess,' and 'Little Lord Fauntleroy,' celebrated for their lyrical prose and rich, detailed illustrations. Each story is imbued with themes of resilience, transformation, and the redemptive power of nature, inviting young readers and adults alike to explore the profound emotional landscapes of her characters amidst the socio-cultural backdrop of Victorian England. Frances Hodgson Burnett was a pioneering figure in children's literature, drawing on her own experiences of hardship and her keen observations of society. Born in Manchester, England, in 1849, Burnett immigrated to America, where she faced various challenges that informed her storytelling. Her works often reflect a deep empathy for the struggles of children, particularly those experiencing loss or loneliness. Through intricate character development and magical realism, Burnett crafted narratives that resonate with audiences while addressing broader issues of class and gender. This Ultimate Collection is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the heartwarming yet poignant narratives that have shaped children's literature. Ideal for both new and seasoned readers, it illuminates Burnett's ability to blend imagination with social commentary, making her stories as relevant today as they were over a century ago.

    Imbued with a sense of wonder, and a strong connection to the natural world, Laura Alary' s books invite young readers to engage with the liturgical seasons of the church year. Breathe is a journey through Ascension, Pentecost, and Ordinary Time.


" The day of Pentecost is coming. The church is changing color. The white and gold of Easter will soon burst into flaming red, then cool to green." So begins Breathe: A Child's Guide to Ascension, Pentecost, and the Growing Time.


In the warm, thoughtful style that has made her books so popular with families who want to encourage their children to think deeply and engage their spiritual imaginations, Laura Alary presents the third book in a trilogy (previous books include Look! A Child' s Guide to Advent and Christmas and Make Room: A Child' s Guide to Lent and Easter) that explores the church' s liturgical seasons.


At the heart of Breathe lies a puzzle: How can Jesus go away, yet promise to be with us always? Can we trust someone who comes and goes so mysteriously?


Moving beyond long ago and far away events, Breathe invites children to wonder about and watch for the presence and work of the Spirit here and now, in practices of prayer and mindfulness, and through acts of justice, generosity, and kindness. Slowly but surely, we discover that we are the body of Jesus now, his way of being in the world. And that whenever we choose the way of love, Jesus is there. Always.
