Book Description
Their time has joined with ours. All the magical things you believed in as a child and others you never heard of, are about to come to life. It appears that all is lost. Soon the magical veil of belief that protects and hides their world from ours will fade and Aeon will take dominion over all of creation. The mighty will of Aeon controls and overpowers the people of Auril. Across the veil, the Earth is erupting, great winds of change move across the face of your planet, it defends you, like a mother, from the evil that sets it will against your existence. From within the magical city of Tùrin, a light shines, calling once more the races of Auril to unite and to save the very existence of life. The scrolls of time are open and the truth of your world is before you. My child, you are the beacon that will change the history of this world and ours. Remember, as you once did when you were a child, for that is all that can undo the destruction surrounding us all.

When a young boy's beloved plum tree falls in a storm, he feels like he's lost both a friend and a connection to his old home. A young boy, recently arrived from Korea, finds a glorious plum tree in his new backyard.

Whenever the boy is homesick, he knows he can take shelter in Plumee's tall branches. And when a storm brings the old tree down, he and his friends have all kinds of adventures on its branches, as it becomes a dragon, a treehouse, and a ship in their imaginations. But soon it's time to say goodbye when the remains of the tree are taken away. Before long, a new plum tree is planted, new blossoms bloom, and a new friendship takes root.

Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Jean E. Pendziwol’s newest picture book is a lyrical meditation on nature and hope. The child in this story observes the sun by playing with her shadow, though sometimes it disappears. She listens to the wind tell stories, even when it howls like wolves. She tastes snowflakes — sometimes sweet and delicate; other times sharp on her cheeks. And finally, she finds hope in the buds on a cherry tree that survive through the winter to blossom in spring. Jean E. Pendziwol has written a layered, lyrical exploration of the hardships and beauties of nature. Her poem, beautifully illustrated by Nathalie Dion, is a study in contrasts and a message of the hope that carries us through the year and through our lives. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.2 Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson.
