  In a small country household, a gentle and kind young girl is forced into a life of drudgery by her cruel stepmother and vain stepsisters. Known only as “Cinderella” for the ashes on her clothes, she endures her hardships with patience and grace. But when the King’s son invites every lady in the land to a grand royal ball, a touch of magic changes everything. With the help of her fairy godmother, a pumpkin becomes a gilded carriage, mice become fine horses, and Cinderella herself is transformed into a vision of beauty—adorned with the most exquisite glass slippers in the world. 
  Yet the enchantment comes with one condition: she must leave before midnight. When the clock strikes twelve, Cinderella flees, leaving behind a single glass slipper. The Prince, determined to find the mysterious young woman who captured his heart, sets out to discover whose foot the slipper will fit—and to change her life forever. 
  First published in 1697, Charles Perrault’s timeless tale has enchanted readers for centuries with its themes of kindness, resilience, and the belief that dreams can come true. This classic fairy tale is brought to life in a warm, heartfelt narration by Heather Nichols.

  Winnie-the-Pooh

  Winnie-the-Pooh is a children's book by English author A.A. Milne and English illustrator E.H. Shepard. Published in 1926, it is a collection of short stories about an anthropomorphic teddy bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, and his friends Christopher Robin, Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Rabbit, Kanga, and Roo. It is the first of two story collections by Milne about Winnie-the-Pooh, the second being The House at Pooh Corner (1928).
  Milne and Shepard collaborated previously for English humour magazine Punch, and in 1924 created When We Were Very Young, a poetry collection. Among the characters in the poetry book was a teddy bear Shepard modeled after his son's toy. Following this, Shepard encouraged Milne to write about his son Christopher Robin Milne's toys, and so they became the inspiration for the characters in Winnie-the-Pooh.
  The book was well-received at release, and was a commercial success, selling 150,000 copies before the end of the year. Winnie-the-Pooh has been translated into over fifty languages; a 1958 Latin translation, Winnie ille Pu, was the first foreign-language book to be featured on the New York Times Best Seller List, and the only book in Latin ever to have been featured. The stories and characters in the book have been adapted in other media, most notably by Disney beginning with Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966).

  New Year's Nursery Rhymes -...

  This collection of fifty original New Year nursery rhymes was specifically created for children aged six to eight, drawing inspiration from the beloved tradition of Christmas carols and rhymes but focusing entirely on the themes of transition, celebration, and new beginnings associated with the New Year. The primary purpose of these rhymes is to provide engaging, age-appropriate literary content that introduces young readers to the customs, emotions, and excitement surrounding the end of one year and the start of the next. 
  Each rhyme, crafted to be approximately 1,000 characters long, explores a unique facet of the holiday. Themes range from the thrilling anticipation of the **New Year's Countdown** and the spectacle of **Fireworks in the Sky** to the quieter, more reflective moments of **Making Resolutions** and watching **The Last Sunset of the Year**. The collection also covers cultural and symbolic elements, such as the meaning of **Auld Lang Syne**, the folklore of **Father Time and Baby New Year**, and various **Good Luck Traditions**. 
  By blending whimsical storytelling with rhythmic language, the rhymes aim to foster literacy, encourage family discussion about traditions, and cultivate a sense of hope and optimism for the future. The accompanying book cover images, designed to be visually appealing and thematically rich, further enhance the collection's potential as a valuable resource for parents, educators, and young readers looking to celebrate the New Year with joy and imagination. The entire project serves as a comprehensive, festive literary toolkit for welcoming the brand new year.
