Summary

In "Old Mother West Wind (Illustrated Edition)," Thornton Burgess weaves a delightful tapestry of storytelling that brings to life the adventures of anthropomorphic animals embodying both charm and wisdom. This richly illustrated collection follows Mother West Wind, a nurturing figure, as she introduces her animal friends, each embodying unique traits and life lessons. The narrative style merges simple yet engaging prose with vibrant illustrations, reflecting the early 20th-century literary context of nature-focused children's literature and environmental consciousness. Burgess's storytelling is marked by warmth and moral tidbits that resonate with young readers. Thornton Burgess, born in 1874, was an American naturalist and author devoted to wildlife preservation. His profound love for nature is palpable throughout his writing, as he often drew inspiration from his own experiences in the natural world. With a background in journalism and a passion for educating children about the environment, Burgess sought to instill a sense of wonder and respect for wildlife in his audience, positioning this work as a heartfelt endeavor not only for entertainment but also for moral instruction. "Old Mother West Wind (Illustrated Edition)" captivates readers of all ages with its enchanting blend of storytelling and ethical lessons. I highly recommend this book to families looking to share timeless tales that nurture both imagination and an appreciation of nature, making it a splendid addition to any child's library.

    This book contains the following two titles: 
- The Holocaust: The devastating events of World War II, particularly the Holocaust, left an indelible mark on the history of humanity. This chapter sets the stage for understanding the roots of hatred that led to one of the most horrific genocides in human history, and the role of ordinary people in shaping the course of events during the war. The Holocaust was not just an isolated act of mass murder; it was the culmination of a complex set of political, social, and cultural factors that had been brewing for decades. To grasp the magnitude of the atrocities, we must first look at the deep-seated prejudices and ideologies that laid the groundwork for such violence. 
- Prisoners of War: Throughout history, the experiences of prisoners of war (POWs) have captured the complexities of human endurance, resilience, and the moral challenges of conflict. In the midst of war, being taken captive often represents a turning point—one where survival becomes an individual’s primary focus, yet the determination to resist the enemy may persist despite overwhelming odds. This book explores the world of POWs, examining the strategies they employed to endure, resist, and sometimes escape the harsh conditions imposed by their captors.

    We are here at home now, watching the world through our windows. Outside we see the city we know, but not as we’ve seen it before. The once hustling and bustling streets are empty—well, almost empty. Around the city there are still some people out and about. These are the people keeping us safe, keeping us healthy, keeping our mail and our food delivered, keeping our grocery stores stocked, keeping the whole city going. Brian Floca speaks for us all in this stirring homage to all the essential workers who keep the essentials operating so the rest of us can do our part by sheltering in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
