Publisher's Synopsis
Nothing beats a really good story. From the very first page, this brand new collection of stories and poems promises to be a 'good read'. It gathers together material that explores what it means to 'be me', the sense of belonging, family relationships, friends and enemies, bridging the differences and facing challenging situations. The final section looks at parting - death and bereavement - discovering hope and strength even in the saddest times. All the stories are essentially positive and life-affirming. There is a rich variety both in theme and style. Many well known authors are featured including: C.S. Lewis, E. Nesbit, Ann Pilling, Rumer Godden, Elizabeth Laird, Walter Wangerin, James Berry, and Katherine Paterson.
