Mira's Discovery

Publisher: Liza White

Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
Mira’s Discovery: A Story of Curiosity and Why It’s Great to Ask Questions is a delightful adaptation of an age-old story, inspired by the essence of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. This children’s book is crafted to spark curiosity, a love for truth-seeking, and a passion for knowledge in young minds, making it the perfect read-aloud for parents and kids alike. Moral Curiosity is a powerful tool that helps us understand the world beyond what we initially see. It teaches young readers that asking questions, exploring, and seeking truth are valuable practices that lead to knowledge and growth. The story encourages children to think independently and to embrace a mindset of curiosity and discovery. Book Summary In a cozy room, a group of kittens spends their days watching shadows dance on the walls. These shadows, soft shapes like stars, hearts, flowers, or animals, fascinate the kittens, and they come to believe that these shapes are all there is to know. Each day, they sit contentedly, watching the shadows and imagining stories about them. But one kitten named Mira (derived from "mirare," meaning "to look" or "to wonder") begins to feel a flicker of curiosity. She wonders where the shadows come from and if there might be more to discover beyond what they see. Her questions make the other kittens giggle at first. Yet Mira can’t let go of her curiosity. One day, she follows a beam of light to the edge of the room and peeks around the corner, discovering the source of the shadows. She sees sunlight streaming through a window, casting shapes from outside, the shapes of trees, birds, and objects that exist beyond the walls of the room. She notices a small light and follows it, eventually meeting Ollie the Owl outside the room. Ollie is friendly and wise, guiding Mira with questions rather than direct answers. He shows her how the shadows are created by objects in the world outside and helps her understand that the shadows are just a glimpse of a much bigger world. Through their conversation, Mira begins to see the value of questioning and discovering. Excited, Mira returns to tell her friends, but they don’t believe her. They think the shadows are the only reality, and Mira’s stories of “more beyond” sound silly to them. Some even make fun of her, thinking she’s making it all up. But Mira doesn’t lose heart. She patiently shows them how to follow the light, step by step, so they can see for themselves. One by one, the kittens start to explore the light, each discovering a new shape or shadow they hadn’t noticed before. They begin to realize that there’s more to their world than just the shadows on the wall. They ask questions, they wonder, and they even create their own little games around exploring and imagining what lies beyond their cozy room. In the end, the kittens aren’t just entertained by shadows anymore. They’re inspired to always look deeper, ask questions, and never stop exploring. They’ve learned to think beyond what they see, to seek, question, and understand the world around them.

Ollie
Author: Stephen Venables
Publisher: Random House

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Like the swallows, our son Ollie came in the spring and left in the autumn. Dancing, singing, swooping - there was something birdlike about his energy, joy and laughter - but also the fleeting, enigmatic quality of his life. When he was two he lost all his speech, as autism turned his life - and ours - into a baffling challenge. Then at four he had to face a new challenge when he almost died from leukaemia. But chemotherapy worked its magic and he made a full recovery. He was a tough survivor and nothing seemed to dim his spirit: he could light up a room and energize everyone around him. So it was a huge shock, after several cancer-free years, when a fatal brain tumour was discovered. This time his body had had enough and he died very suddenly. He was twelve. Ollie had extraordinary courage and endurance. Time after time he bounced back, determined to enjoy life. He was obstinate, mischievous, playful, flirtatious, quixotic, funny. He generated - and continues to generate - huge amounts of laughter. And he was very beautiful. We always felt that if autism had not unravelled the wiring of his neural pathways, he would have achieved extraordinary things. This is the story of the journey we made with Ollie. Unlike a mountaineer, pursuing extreme experiences out of choice, he had difficulty thrust upon him: he was forced to be brave. For me, too, the journey was far more compelling than any expedition.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.

ISBN: 1496721691
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
A USA Today Bestseller Inspired by fascinating, true, yet little-known events during World War II, The Long Flight Home is a testament to the power of courage in our darkest hours—a moving, masterfully written story of love and sacrifice. It is September 1940—a year into the war—and as German bombs fall on Britain, fears grow of an impending invasion. Enemy fighter planes blacken the sky around the Epping Forest home of Susan Shepherd and her grandfather, Bertie. After losing her parents to influenza as a child, Susan found comfort in raising homing pigeons with Bertie. All her birds are extraordinary to Susan—loyal, intelligent, beautiful—but none more so than Duchess. Hatched from an egg that Susan incubated in a bowl under her grandfather’s desk lamp, Duchess shares a special bond with Susan and an unusual curiosity about the human world. Thousands of miles away in Buxton, Maine, young crop-duster pilot Ollie Evans decides to join Britain’s Royal Air Force. His quest brings him to Epping and the National Pigeon Service, where Susan is involved in a new, covert mission to air-drop hundreds of homing pigeons in German-occupied France. Many will not survive. Those that do will bring home crucial information. Soon a friendship between Ollie and Susan deepens, but when his plane is downed behind enemy lines, both know how remote the chances of reunion must be. Yet Duchess will become an unexpected lifeline, relaying messages between Susan and Ollie as war rages on—and proving, at last, that hope is never truly lost. “Hlad adeptly drives home the devastating civilian cost of the war.” —Booklist
