Sinopsis

Living among the flowers and ferns of Kew Gardens, Katy has always dreamed of more – of the sky and the stars and the sea. Unfortunately for Katy, her father doesn't understand. He says young girls should be content to stay at home, not go off gallivanting around the world.

So when news reaches London of a meteorite falling in the faraway land of Brazil and an expedition being put together to find it, Katy knows it's her chance to follow her dreams and prove her father wrong. And winning a place on the trip is just the start of her extraordinary voyage on the trail of a fallen star…

A thrilling historical adventure from the author of THE HOUSE OF HIDDEN WONDERS, perfect for fans of Katherine Woodfine, Lucy Worsley, Jennifer Bell and Robin Stevens

    From the Newbery Award-winning and bestselling author of the modern classic One and Only series comes a gorgeous picture book introducing young readers to Ruby, the beloved baby elephant. 
    Ruby is the littlest elephant in the herd at the animal sanctuary, where she lives near her best friends Ivan the silverback gorilla and Bob the lovable mutt. Ruby loves all the things that make being an elephant fun, like splashing in muddy puddles and spraying water through her trunk. But there are parts of being an elephant that she doesn’t love so much, like her new tusks. 
    The herd is preparing for Ruby’s Tuskday, a day to celebrate the fact that Ruby is growing up, and for remembering. Ruby has lots of happy memories, but she also has lots of sad ones, ones that are hard to think about. Surrounded by the love of her herd and her friends, the littlest elephant will see that growing up doesn’t have to be scary, and that remembering the darkness can help us appreciate the light. 
    This beautiful and poignant story shows readers the importance of honoring the past, cherishing the present, and facing the future without fear.

    🕯️ Wisdom isn't just intelligence, it's a way of life. 
    It's not a certificate, or sharp mental ability, or cleverness in speech. 
    True wisdom is when your heart is pure, your thoughts are clear, and your path is aligned with God's will. 
    In this unforgettable sermon, Pope Shenouda III, the former Coptic Orthodox Pope—called "The Golden Mouth" by many—explains the profound difference between being smart and being truly wise in the eyes of the Lord. 
    This English-translated message is especially prepared for: 
    Orthodox Christians raised outside the Middle East 
    Second and third-generation immigrants who may struggle with Arabic 
    All Christians worldwide who seek to grow in spiritual maturity, regardless of denomination 
    🔑 Key Topics in This Sermon: 
    The difference between intelligence and godly wisdom 
    The traits of a truly wise person in God's sight 
    How to live wisely both spiritually and practically 
    How to walk in God’s commandments with discernment and humility 
    📖 Biblical Anchors: 
    "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock." (Matthew 7:24) 
    "But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand." (Matthew 7:26) 
    🧠 What’s the Difference Between Intelligence and Wisdom? 
    Intelligence understands quickly, analyzes fast, and may solve problems. 
    Wisdom lives rightly, even if not academically brilliant. 
    There are brilliant philosophers… yet they deny God. 
    "The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’" (Psalm 14:1)
