Scargo’s Cape Cod Adventures by Dr Valarie Whiting The story comes from Wampanoag oral tradition. Princess Scargo was the daughter of a Native American chief. One version says a young brave gave her four fish as a gift before he left for a journey. She wanted to keep them alive, so her father and the villagers dug out a lake to hold them—today called Scargo Lake, in Dennis, Massachusetts. The lake was filled with rainwater or diverted from another water source. When the brave returned, the fish had grown and thrived, and he was impressed by her dedication. The story is associated with themes of love, patience, resourcefulness, and the connection between people and nature. The shape of the lake and nearby Scargo Tower are said to resemble parts of the story. Be sure to look for the additional books in the Scargo’s Cape Cod Adventures series and the companion coloring books! ✨ Dream, Discover, and Delight in the Magic of Cape Cod! ✨ Join baby Scargo on a dream-filled journey where family stories, sparkling lakes, and the legend of a Wampanoag princess come to life.

Freedom Pancakes for Ukraine by Dr. Janice Cohn Young Artem lives in Ukraine and, when war breaks out, his father stays to fight for freedom while Artem and his mother take the train to safety in neighboring Poland. Sad and confused, Artem worries about his father and his own future. But warm meals served by Paolo, a volunteer with World Central Kitchen, and the kindness of Paolo and others give him strength and hope. In an interconnecting storyline, Hannah, a girl in the United States, worries about the plight of Ukrainian children and finds a way to counter her own feelings of helplessness and take action. As children today often absorb narratives of violence and fear from the news, it is important to offer them stories about the powerful antidote of goodness and courage, and to inspire them—no matter how overwhelmed they may feel—to create change in the world around them one step at a time. |

Aboard the Timeline by Bastian Gregory Aboard the Timeline It's the story of a bored boy, Pete who doesn't find anything interesting at school. One day he becomes so bored, and time stands still and he escapes to Outermind. Here he befriends various living beings in different worlds, and along the way becomes aware of a constant conflict going on in these different lands. Ultimately, Pete is asked to make a difference, and the question is whether he is up to the task? Anyone who has a passion for words and wordplay will enjoy reading “Aboard the Timeline” In this wonderful children’s book , Bastian takes us on an adventure with his main character Pete, a young boy who at first seems to be lost (in many more ways than one!) but who ultimately finds his way together with the help of his companions, the lovely dinosaur Reginald and the ancient Greek thinker, Philosophocles. Bastian manages to keep the reader engaged page after page, with clever puns and witty plays on words, which makes his story even more entertaining. Here is a quote from a teacher on Amazon: “My 10 year old son and I read this together and we both really enjoyed it. Redolent of Salman Rushdie’s Haroun and the Sea of Stories/Luka and the Fire of Life plus Walter Moers’ Captain Bluebear series, it’s a consistently chuckleworthy, highly imaginative, multi-layered yarn that carried us wackily along its narrative tracks from start to finish. There’s a great cast of characters - from a doddery old dinosaur to an ebullient Ancient Greek philosopher (“Philosophocles”) to some suitably dastardly demons - and the illustrations, which perfectly complement the text, are great fun too. Highly recommended!” |
