In this story, Papillion (Poppy for short) dreamed about one day traveling to magnificent lands. The puppy packs her bag for an adventure to France, and as her little brother smiles and waves goodbye, she klickity-klacks on a train from their house in the country, through the big city, then boards a plane at the airport.
Poppy's adventure is only just beginning when she meets a fellow traveler after landing in Paris. Bailey and Poppy become friends, and the two pups explore the beautiful city before encountering Pumpkin, a rascally cat who angrily chases Poppy. But when Pumpkin finds himself in need of help, Poppy doesn't hesitate to swoop in. In gratitude, the orange cat shares his knowledge of all the top spots in the city of lights--with his newly minted best friends.
This gift box set is a celebration of a yearning kind-hearted pup who follows her passion. It's a perfect gift for young readers ages 3-7.

Onward Forward is a book Brian Jeansonne would have written eventually. He wrote it now because ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, confined him to a power chair, silenced his voluntary muscles, and urged him to focus more deeply than ever on life's most essential questions. In this heartfelt and irreverent memoir, Brian chronicles the disease process while exploring metaphysical, spiritual, and emotional concepts such as soul, suffering, contentment, presence, and-most importantly-love.
As both narrator and soul guide, Brian writes with raw honesty about the arc of his own faith, as well as difficult periods of depression. He asks and answers life's most difficult but essential questions:
Beginning with a foreword by fellow soul-seeker Alanis Morissette, Onward Forward is an invitation to fully engage with life, to embrace the good, the bad, and the shitshow, and to run toward our truest selves with abandon.
In the wake of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, 22-year-old Joe Horiuchi is faced with a decision: volunteer for America's war against the Axis Powers, or reject the country that is locking his fellow Japanese-Americans in internment camps. Where does Joe's loyalty lie? And what is he willing to do for the country that regards him and his people as suspect?
Like the global conflict, Joe's personal war is fought on many fronts. Overcoming his sense of betrayal by his own government, he enlists and joins the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, where he confronts a self-serving senior officer, faces an accusation of murder, lives with the paralyzing terror of waging war, and longs for the girl he left behind.
Will Joe heed his unit's motto, Go For Broke? Or will he settle for giving less?
Debut author John Kiyonaga draws on his own father's experience serving with the 442nd RCT, a unit consisting entirely of Japanese-American enlisted soldiers and considered the military's most decorated unit. Expertly weaving fiction with history, Uninvited Valor is the story of men called into brotherhood-and greatness-by circumstances beyond their control, and their decision to go for broke, risking everything for the country that has forsaken them.
An intimate and compellingly honest memoir of a woman coming into her own after profound pain and grief.
Marsha Jacobson agreed to marry a secretive and controlling man because she saw no way out. He compelled her to move to Japan with him, where a chance meeting led to a job at the Tokyo headquarters of Mattel Toys.
As she became successful, her husband became more abusive. When they were back in America, she grabbed their two toddlers and escaped from him chased by police. Years later, she had a successful career and a joyful second marriage-until terrible memories her husband buried in childhood came to get him. His PTSD and flashbacks shattered her marriage, her career, and many friendships.
With penetrating insight and writing that moves from gritty to glorious, Marsha gives voice to the often-misunderstood lived experience of loss and grief and explores how trauma spreads from generation to generation and person to person but need not last a lifetime.
This never-before-told true story of a young woman's escape from Auschwitz with her sister is a remarkable tale of unimaginable courage, family, faith and enduring love.
...readers will admire Hinda's devotion to her family and her determination to resist her Nazi captors as they attempt to dehumanize her. There's also a remarkable love story at the heart of this novel-a relationship that will surprise and delight readers for its ability to withstand the most terrible of circumstances... A moving work...
─Kirkus Reviews
Hinda was eighteen years old when an axe crashed through the front door of her home in Poland. Nazi soldiers swarmed inside and herded the family into an army truck and hauled them away for one lone reason: They were Jews. World War II and the Hitler-induced Holocaust was in full swing.
With its added value of emotional and atmospheric richness, Tatae's Promise is a 'must have' acquisition for any library looking at high-quality fiction and nonfiction accounts of Polish Jewish history, concentration camp experience, and the power of survival. These explorations will also attract book clubs interested in selecting and contrasting a few quality titles on all these subjects, powered by an oral history that comes to life through solid literary excellence and collaborative determination.
─Midwest Book Review
Hinda Mondlak's story is nothing short of extraordinary... Inspired by her father's promise and last words to her just before his execution-'You will live; you will tell'-this riveting adaptation urgently demands only one thing from us: we must listen!
─Eli Rubenstein, religious leader, Congregation Habonim Toronto; National director, March of the Living Canada; director, International March of the Living; Appointed to the Order of Canada by the Governor General of Canada
This moving and suspenseful book tells the story of Hinda Mondlak, who escaped from Auschwitz with her sister. Based on hours of her taped testimony, it describes in rich detail every phase of the persecutions she endured-Nazi occupation, the village ghetto, the death journey to Auschwitz, beatings, illness, starvation, escape, and then a harrowing flight from Russian troops. Saved occasionally through the unexpected kindness of others and always by her own courage, Hinda is vividly alive in this reweaving of her memories. A memorable story of resilience and enduring love.

As a student of the Holocaust and one who interviewed Holocaust survivors for Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah History Foundation, I thought I had heard it all. Now, I know I was wrong. This is not your ordinary Holocaust story. Do yourself a favor. Find out for yourself.
─Mike O'Krent, Founder and CEO, LifeStories Alive; Holocaust survivors interviewer for Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah History Foundation
If you were captivated by the New York Times #1 bestseller The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, or, the Pulitzer Prize Winner All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, you will love Tatae's Promise.

After the McHubbard family courageously escaped the clutches of the Time Belt, the evil force behind its construction stole something rather valuable from them in return: their sister Elbina. With barely any leads on her location except for the fact that she was whisked to a planet in a different universe, the siblings were left perplexed and helpless.
In the penultimate book of The Jalopy Chronicles, Riff, Ann Lou, and Luna lead the effort to find their sister. The story takes them first on a journey to aid in the development of the first multi-universal Jalopy, then follows them as they use this Jalopy to search for Elbina. On Earth's parallel planet Thera, they meet a cohort of fun-loving and dastardly characters. What the McHubbards discover is a world not unlike their own, but with its own personalised twist. Problems start to escalate out of proportion when aspects of Earth and Thera collide...
The Jalopy Chronicles: A Parallel World presents even more zany and outrageous adventures across multiple universes. Follow the McHubbards as they encounter black holes, supernovas, and peevish planetary border control agents; navigate the whirlwind of love; and, above all, fly in innovative and particularly junky Jalopies.

In this fourth book in the PD the Pug series, PD is cast as an extra in a Chewy Productions film. Of course, PD thinks he's the star...not just a bit player! But all PD seems to do is botch things up, causing the ire of cast and crew (and even the big boss, Mr. Chewy himself) as he tries to achieve fame, fortune and, one day, that coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There's an important lesson in there about the difference between worldly adulation and real love (like from Mommy), and about fame versus contentment. But will PD actually learn these lessons? Find out in A Star Is Born! PD the Pug on the Silver Screen.
All PD the Pug books are suitable for readers (and dog enthusiasts) from childhood through grandparenting.
