  The inspiring true story of how one visionary woman used children’s books to help heal a generation of Germany’s children after WWII and went on to set up the International Youth Library and International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY). Written by Katherine Paterson, the beloved and award-winning author of Bridge to Terabithia and many other children’s favorites. 
    
  Jella Lepman was a woman who stood her ground, challenged convention, and worked fiercely to transform her biggest dreams into reality. 
    
  In 1945, when Jella was tasked with what seemed like an insurmountable challenge―to create a haven of imagination and joy for the children of a Germany scarred by war—she turned to a steadfast companion: books. As a Jewish woman who had fled from the Nazis, Jella was determined to restore a sense of childhood to the young people who had only known conflict and violence. Despite constant obstacles, Jella persevered, and with the help of publishers and children from around the world, she amassed an extraordinary collection of 4,000 children’s books in pursuit of her mission to promote peace. The roving literary collection would eventually find a home as the International Youth Library in Munich, now with over 600,000 items, the largest collection of children’s books and materials in the world. 
    
  Jella Lepman and Her Library of Dreams is a thrilling and heartfelt exploration of one woman’s extraordinary belief in the power of books to transform young lives. Perfect for readers who enjoy biography, true adventure nonfiction, and empowering stories of women in history, this makes an outstanding addition to classroom and home libraries.

  From Outer Space

  From Outer Space by Robert Zacks - How did Doomsday come? Well, it's the story of a banquet... 
  The grizzled old space veteran leaned back in his chair and stared up through the transparent dome. In the black sky myriad white specks gleamed without twinkling, their light unbent by atmosphere or dust. The steady pulse of the airmakers kept rhythm with the heartbeats of the young men seated in a semi-circle, listening with glistening eyes to these ancient tales of an Earth they'd never seen—the home of their species. 
  They stared hungrily at the old man's face. There was a silvery spot on the chin where Venusian fungus had nearly gotten into his bloodstream and had had to be burned away. Over one eye an eyebrow was gone, replaced by scar tissue grown on a planet at the other end of the galaxy where the light of enormous fireflies wasn't cold, as on ancient earth, but searing with heat. 
  "Imagine," they marveled, "such weak flame in fireflies." 
  "Not weak," corrected the old man. "Just different. Those insects on Earth didn't have to fight off intense cold. They had a much thicker atmosphere and were close to the sun. And they didn't feed on alcohol." 
  The young men's eyes glittered. They were an odd group. Small—most of them, none over five feet five inches—and pale, unlike the old man who was bulky around the shoulders and had skin virtually leathered by various radiations and temperatures and winds. 
  Each day this group waited hungrily for the old man to come and talk to them. The stories he told were the breath of life to them. And of all the tales of adventures in the far ends of the universe, the one that was most repeatedly called for was the story of what had happened to Earth. 
  "Tell us about Earth," said one of them, now, in a low voice.

  Mat the mailman was a beloved figure in his town, known for his friendly nature and dedication to his job. For most of his life, he delivered mail and parcels, building strong connections with everyone he met, from children to adults and even their pets. When he was forced to retire, Mat's world fell apart. He lost his sense of purpose and his sadness was so profound that he passed away shortly after. 
  However, his story didn't end there. In heaven, the angels, moved by his love for his community, granted him a special gift: the ability to return to his town as a ghost and continue his work. As the “Friendly Neighbourhood Ghost,” Mat resumed his mail delivery, much to the bewilderment of the postal company, who couldn’t understand how the mail was being delivered without an employee. 
  Some of the children Mat had known, now adults, recognized their old friend and were overjoyed, introducing him to their own children. Mat, in his ghostly form, also became a guardian of the town, protecting its residents and their pets from harm. He became a local legend, a symbol of enduring friendship and kindness, a not-so-spooky ghost who just wanted to make friends.
