Sinossi

In "My Father's Dragon," Ruth Stiles Gannett weaves a poignant tale of adventure and self-discovery, centered around a young boy named Elmer Elevator. The narrative style is characterized by its vivid imagery and gentle prose, capturing the whimsical yet profound essence of childhood imagination. Gannett crafts a world where Elmer'Äôs quest to rescue a baby dragon unfolds through a series of engaging encounters with fantastical creatures, reflecting themes of courage, loyalty, and the power of friendship. The book, published in 1948, sits comfortably within the canon of children'Äôs literature, echoing the era's fascination with anthropomorphic characters and moral tales, while also carving its niche through its imaginative plot and relatable protagonist. Ruth Stiles Gannett, an American author born into a family with a rich literary heritage, drew inspiration from her childhood experiences and the stories told to her by her parents. Growing up surrounded by imagination and creativity, her early readings and her deeply held belief in the importance of storytelling shaped her writing. Gannett'Äôs unique perspective as a young storyteller culminates in this timeless work, making it resonate with both young audiences and adult readers alike. "My Father's Dragon" is a compelling invitation to audiences of all ages to reconnect with their inner child and embark on an enchanting journey. Its themes of bravery and compassion leave a lasting impression, ensuring that it is not just a story for children but a universal tale that speaks to the heart. I highly recommend this enchanting read for anyone who cherishes well-crafted tales that remind us of the magic inherent in both adventure and imagination.

From the first human settlements to today’s modern metropolises, we have always relied on the sun for light, energy, and sustenance. We Carry the Sun traces the history of solar power from ancient south-facing villages to the Industrial Age and modern innovators; and from solar-powered steam engines to silicon solar panels. 
  
Lyrical and informed, Newbery Medal winner Tae Keller’s debut is also a timely call to action that asks young readers to imagine a brighter, cleaner future. We Carry the Sun is a tribute to pioneering thinkers, a celebration of humankind’s relationships with the natural world, and a shimmering ode to the resource that sustains us. 
  
"More than a resource about the history of solar energy, it’s also a look at stepwise progress made by standing on the shoulders of those who have come before."—Publishers Weekly
