Sinopsis

In "Mother West Wind 'Why' Stories," Thornton W. Burgess enchants readers with a collection of whimsical tales that elucidate the mysteries of nature through animal characters. Written in a conversational and accessible style, Burgess weaves folk-like narratives that blend humor with moral lessons, reflecting the early 20th century'Äôs burgeoning interest in environmentalism and the human relationship with nature. Each story is introduced by the loving character of Mother West Wind, who imparts wisdom and reason behind the behaviors of her animal friends, creating a tapestry of interconnected tales that inspire curiosity about the natural world. Thornton W. Burgess, a naturalist and conservationist, was deeply influenced by his early experiences in the rural landscapes of Massachusetts. His dedication to wildlife and ecological preservation is evident in his writing, which not only entertains but also educates young readers about nature and animal behavior. Burgess's ability to personify animals and convey ethical lessons mirrors his commitment to his roles as a storyteller and advocate for nature. I highly recommend "Mother West Wind 'Why' Stories" to readers of all ages who seek a delightful entry into the world of nature through storytelling. This enchanting collection is perfect for those who wish to foster an appreciation for wildlife while enjoying charming narratives that spark the imagination.

    One WWII pilot's mission to lift the spirits of children living in war-torn Berlin in 1945 comes to life in this moving middle-grade historical account. After World War II the United States and Britain airlifted food and supplies into Russian-blockaded West Berlin. US Air Force Lieutenant Gail S. Halvorsen knew the children of the city were suffering. To bring a bit of hope, he began dropping chocolate and chewing gum by parachute. 
     
     
     
    What began as a one-time gesture of compassion turned into an official US Air Force operation. "Operation Little Vittles" grew, as more and more pilots volunteered to drop the parachutes, and donations of candy and cloth poured in from all over. This inspiring story of one man's contribution to the rebuilding of a country after war is a unique look at history. 
     
     
     
    Candy Bomber is an important and interesting addition to studies of World War II.
