Sinopse

In "Our Holidays. Their Meaning and Spirit; retold from St. Nicholas," various authors collaborate to explore the rich tapestry of holiday traditions and their significance through a series of heartwarming narratives. The anthology draws from the wellspring of the beloved children'Äôs magazine St. Nicholas, infusing each tale with a delightful blend of whimsy and moral reflection. The literary style is characterized by its vivid imagery and a gentle, didactic tone that invites readers'Äînot just children, but families'Äîto reflect on the essence and spirit of festive celebrations across cultures, underscoring themes of community, generosity, and joy. The contributors to this volume include prominent writers and illustrators of the late 19th century, an era marked by a growing interest in childhood literacy and the portrayal of wholesome family values. By distilling profound lessons into engaging stories, these literary figures aimed to cultivate a sense of shared heritage while addressing the shifting societal norms of their time. Their collective efforts reflect a nostalgia for simpler times and an aspiration to instill values of kindness and gratitude in children during the holiday season. I wholeheartedly recommend "Our Holidays" to readers of all ages who wish to deepen their understanding of holiday traditions and their underlying meanings. Through its charming retelling of classic stories, this book serves not only as a delightful read but also as a guide to nurturing the spirit of celebration and camaraderie in our own lives.

    Twelve-year-old Zuzu Santos doesn’t want a robot. She and her best friends, otherwise known as “the Valleycats,” would rather explore Bright Valley on their own. But then Zuzu meets Snap, a know-it-all guardian robot with a limited battery life and an abundance of hope. A gripping, stand-alone, thematically rich survival story by two-time Newbery Medalist Erin Entrada Kelly, for fans of The Wild Robot and A Rover’s Story.  
    Bright Valley Subsidized Camp #5 is not a perfect place to live. It’s dusty, there are no trees to provide respite from the beating sun, the trailers are falling apart, and the water supply is heavily rationed. But to twelve-year-old Zuzu Santos and her three best friends, Bright Valley is home.  
    When Zuzu’s dad loses his job at Lockwood, the corporation that controls everything from rations to education, he isn’t given money or food or water as severance, but a dated, first-generation robot. They do not provide a working charging station. Zuzu names the robot Snap, and he soon becomes part of the Bright Valley family. But Snap’s battery is dwindling every day, and though Snap is prepared for his inevitable reset, Zuzu isn’t. She would do whatever it takes to keep Snap alive. The problem is, Snap would do the same for Zuzu and her friends, no matter the cost. 
    Erin Entrada Kelly tells a moving story of friendship and family, rich with themes and characters that will resonate with readers. The Second Life of Snap is a futuristic book for middle graders that is grounded, full of heart and humor, and unforgettable. An excellent choice for fans of The Wild Robot, A Rover’s Story, and Erin Entrada Kelly’s own We Dream of Space.
