Sinopsis

Randolph Caldecott's "The Queen of Hearts, and Sing a Song for Sixpence" exemplifies the merging of lyrical poetry and whimsical illustrations characteristic of the Victorian era. Through playful verse and charming illustrations, Caldecott captures the enchanting world of nursery rhymes and children's folklore. His innovative use of sequential art not only engages young readers but also invites them into a world where imagination reigns supreme. As a seminal figure in children's literature, Caldecott's storytelling embodies a unique literary style that blurs the lines between text and illustration, marking a significant evolution in the genre's development. Caldecott, an English artist and illustrator, possessed a keen understanding of the child's perspective, shaped by his formative years in rural England. His experiences in drawing landscapes and folklore significantly influenced his artistic style, as he sought to create stories that resonate with the joys and curiosities of childhood. His dedication to enriching children's literature led to his lasting legacy, with the Caldecott Medal named in his honor, celebrating exemplary illustrated children's books. This delightful collection invites readers of all ages to immerse themselves in its playful narratives and vivid imagery. Ideal for educators and parents, Caldecott's work not only entertains but also sparks a love for reading in children, making it a timeless addition to any literary collection.

    Oen and Jarred help Dolana establish a new colony on Zeta, the planet selected three hundred years ago to showcase the benefits of collaboration. Previous attempts to settle Zeta were thwarted by The Order, corrupt and evil religious men who craved power and control. Thanks to Oen, Jarred, and their friends, The Order is defeated and removed from power, though not destroyed. But now a new threat appears that is determined to destroy the fledgling colony. The same advanced androids sent to help build the colony suddenly turn destructive. Only with the help of an advanced android sent by Darrik Madron, the head of a rich and powerful family descended from a space pirate , are Oen, Jarred, and the other colonists able to save the colony. The person directing the rogue androids, Councilman Gorm, is a rich scientist from the advanced civilization where Oen and Jarred's daughter lives and works.The two men are close friends with several others from that planet, including the world leader and her mate. Gorm's plans are discovered and he is forced to flee along with some sycophant followers and a team of androids operated by an artificial intelligence. Darrik cuts the flow of funds to Gorm but is not able to capture him. Damaged in a fire fight with Darrik's men and machines, Gorm transfer his consciousness into an android fashioned to look just like him. Now he has unlimited time to plot his domination of the galaxy. Gorm in his new android body now sets his sights on controlling The Order and their many hidden pockets of wealth and information.

Soon there is open warfare that leads to the destruction of the Madron mansion and the relocation of Gorm to an obscure planet where The Order has a secret

The war in Europe is over and she is the only child left at Westwood, a rambling country estate in the north of England, where she'd taken refuge seven years earlier. The arrival of a friend of the family, Yara Fielding, starts an adventure that will take Rosa deep into the lush beauty of the Amazon rainforest in search of jaguars, ancient giant sloths and somewhere to belong. What she finds is Yara’s lively, welcoming family on the banks of the river and, together, they face a danger greater than she could ever have imagined.  Featuring places and characters known and loved by fans of Journey to the River Sea  (including, among others, Maia, Finn, Miss Minton and Clovis) this spectacular new chapter in the story tells of the next generation and the growing threats to the Amazon rainforest that continue to this day.
