Discovering Shiba

Beschreibung

Once upon a time, there was a cute little puppy named Shiba. She was all alone, wandering the streets, feeling scared and sad. But then, something magical happened! A loving family found Shiba and decided to take her home. At first, Shiba was a bit unsure. She didn't know if she could trust her new family. But they were patient and kind, showing her lots of love and care. They taught her that she could trust them and that they would always be there for her. As Shiba spent more time with her new family, she discovered something amazing. She realized that she was special and unique, just the way she was. She didn't need to be like any other puppy because she had her own special qualities. Shiba's family helped her embrace her uniqueness. They celebrated her playful nature, her wagging tail, and her cute little bark. They taught her that being different was something to be proud of. And so, Shiba lived happily ever after with her loving family, knowing that she was loved for exactly who she was. The end. Shiba can handle all the tough stuff at school because she has her amazing friends Rey and Ryo by her side and their super nice teacher, Mr. Pawsitive, who always understands them. Shiba can do this because Mr. Pawsitive is really good at understanding how others feel. She finally gets over being shy and starts talking about how special she is, she stands up for herself when mean kids bother her, and she learns to accept that she's different from everyone else. The Shiba doggie has grown up to be even happier, more confident, and super duper excited to try new things! He does things that show he is trying to figure out who he is and get better at things.

Spid the Spider Has a Day Off is a warm, funny children’s story about thinking ahead, making good choices and discovering that a little planning can make a big difference.

After enjoying a big breakfast, he comes up with what seems like the perfect plan to make the most of his day.

Chera, Lummie, and Joan are unusual in medieval Winchester, England. Two girls and a boy, and two Jews and a Christian are not supposed to be friends. Most days, after their studies with Rabbi Baruch, they enjoy scaring themselves in the greatly feared nearby forest, home to ne’er-do-wells and sprites, where they make another unusual friend, a starving outlaw. 
But the trio’s fun is shattered when Chera’s grandmother, a wealthy widow, and Joan’s mother, her maid, are murdered. Jurors name a suspect, who flees the city, and he may not have killed them anyway. Almost anyone could have, so just investigating isn’t enough. What’s more, the Unusuals are sure Lummie’s grandmother will be the next to die. 
They concoct a perilous plan, which needs allies to succeed, but everyone else thinks their idea is dizzy—crazy. With lives in the balance, this trio of friends must band together against the odds and call on their unusual bonds to help seek justice.
