Synopsis

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.

    Maisie thinks her dad is the most boring person in the world. For fun he likes to do origami (but only basic triangles) or jigsaw puzzles of a cloudless sky (yep, every piece is blue).

    But Maisie has to admit weird things happen around Dad. Unexplainable things...When childcare falls through and Dad has to take Maisie to Antarctica to research his next book, How To Survive In Antarctica, Maisie realises there is definitely something unusual about Dad...
    
    Maisie is determined to find out the truth about her dad. What she doesn't realise is that she'll discover some things about herself and what it really means to be a hero along the way. One thing is for sure - it's going to be the adventure of a lifetime!

    In this time-slip tale with a touch of magic, Kerry-Ann finds out about the obstacles that her grandparents faced when they first arrived in England as part of the Windrush generation...and how she must follow in their footsteps to fight for fair play, and to keep enjoying the game that is a part of her culture.
