Sophie May

Sinopsis

In "Little Prudy's Cousin Grace," Sophie May intricately weaves a narrative that captures the essence of childhood innocence while exploring themes of family, friendship, and growing up. Written in a warm, engaging style characteristic of late 19th-century children's literature, this delightful tale invites readers into the whimsical world of Little Prudy, a spirited girl whose adventures with her cousin, Grace, are both entertaining and didactic. May's use of vivid imagery and relatable dialogue enriches the reader's experience, grounding the charming story in the social context of her time, where familial bonds and moral teachings were paramount. Sophie May, known for her masterful blend of imagination and realism, was a prominent figure in children's literature. Her own experiences as a child and her keen observation of young people's thoughts and emotions inspired her storytelling. May's dedication to portraying the lives of young girls with authenticity and nuance reflects not only her literary ambitions but also her desire to empower her young audience through relatable narratives, stemming from an era rich with evolving literary traditions. I highly recommend "Little Prudy's Cousin Grace" to both young readers and adults seeking to revisit the warmth of childhood literature. May'Äôs ability to illuminate the joys and trials of youth makes this book a timeless treasure that resonates with readers across generations, offering not just entertainment but also valuable lessons in empathy and resilience.

ORB - A Sci-Fi Story For Kids

E. M. Buchan

Would you still believe in God if aliens exist? A Christian family is faced with that difficult question when THEO, a typical nine-year-old homeschooler, watches an alien orb fall from space and land in a nearby forest.
My name is Elijah and I am a Christian author and I aim to write fiction in multiple categories that not only avoid evil concepts, but actively point my readers to King Jesus and His amazing works.
My wife and I homeschool our children and I wanted to write a book featuring homeschooler elements casually. You'll notice many novel Christian concepts are assumed in this book. That was also one of the goals of this book. I want the kids reading this book to not feel othered by being a homeschooling Christian. After all, there aren't many books with a main character in that demographic!
The main goal of this book, of course, is to address the growing concerns within the church about aliens. We are shown alien-filled Hollywood propaganda constantly and have been for several decades. Why? And why are UAP/UFO/ET sightings on the rise? Why is it that all the conservative podcasters are adamant that aliens are not only real, but have communicated with our world before? Are we seeing a return of Genesis 6-like events where demonic forces are deceiving people by the millions into disgusting practices and worship? Maybe. So why don't we talk to our kids about aliens, but from a proud and victorious Christian perspective? If aliens are real what does that mean about the existence of God?
Join me and my children in this dialogue by reading this new book... ORB: A Sci-Fi Story for Kids.
