A Surprise in the Wood - Cosetta Zanotti

Mama and Papa Bear are waiting for a special delivery, which finally arrives from the heavens above, but the bear cub they receive is not quite what they—and the rest of the forest animals—were expecting Inspired by parents who adopted a child with a debilitating genetic disease, A Surprise in the Wood exalts the love that makes a family strong despite the surprises that sometimes come its way. This powerful allegory will resonate with any parent who expected a bear cub and instead received a goldfish. It teaches to cherish the fish and immerse oneself in another’s world, whether they breathe water or air. It also celebrates the value of community, especially when they learn to embrace difference. A Surprise in the Wood is a remarkable tale that delivers a moving and relatable story packed with emotional resonance and ultimately advocates for unconditional love and acceptance as a path through adversity. A donation from sales of the book will be made to the MCT8–AHDS Foundation, which inspired the story.

The Song of Mountain, Forest and Sea - Kate Dargaw

Tři příběhy tří domorodých kmenů Rukai, Atayal a Pangcah (Amis) nás vrací zpět na počátek ke kořenům tchajwanské domorodé kultury. Tchaj-wan známý též pod názvem Formosa, neboli Krásný ostrov, leží v Tichém oceánu nedaleko čínské provincie Fu-ťien, mezi Filipínami a Japonskem. Zde jej omývá teplý mořský proud Kurošio, který k jeho břehům přináší bohatý mořský život. Hornatý ostrov ležící na pomezí tropického a subtropického podnebného pásu je nejen domovem řady unikátních endemických druhů, ale i domorodých kmenů melanésko-polynéského původu, jejichž kultura vyrůstá v těsném sepětí s místní přírodou. Příběhy původního obyvatelstva se prochází levharti obláčkoví, černí medvědi ušatí či obávané zmije, jakými jsou ploskolebci nosorozí. Kmeny s nimi uzavírají své pokrevní svazky. Čelenky náčelníků zase zdobí peří bažantů mikádo. Boje, které bojovníci svádí, se vedou proti nelítostným Sluncím nebo obludám, které ohrožují život kmene a teprve s velkým úsilím je lze překonat. Bohatě ilustrovaná kniha dává nahlédnout do ústní tradice melanésko-polynéských kmenů a je určena čtenářům každého věku, od těch nejmenších až po ty nejstarší. ---------------------------- Taiwan is an island in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of mainland China. For centuries, the island has had a diverse mix of cultures and languages . The indigenous tribes on the island are distinctive examples . Their languages are classified as Austronesian languages close to those of the inhabitants of today s Philippines, Indonesia or New Guinea and Polynesia. Taiwan has thus become the platform where you can see the influences brought by the migrants from Pacific and Indian Ocean islands. The literary tradition of the Taiwanese is very rich, although they do not have their own writing system. The key to choose these three stories is the title of the book loosely hidden by the topics of the selected stories. It contains the natural elements that make up the world around us. In this book we find poetic stories about fire, water and the earth. They are stories full of known archetypes of humanity. We learn about the long journey to the end of the world and shooting down of the Sun, a story not unlike the well-known legend Beauty and the Beast . We also find the well-known battle of the archetypes of good and evil in the story of the natives victory over the monsters. This wonderful book with three indigenous stories, which shows the world Taiwanese culture and legends through delicate but colorful illustrations, will not disappoint discerning readers of any age.

The Traitor of Sherwood Forest - Amy S. Kaufman

Jane Crowe is an ordinary peasant girl who never dreamed she would work for the infamous Lord of the Greenwood. But when she s forced out of her home, she has no choice but to turn to Robin Hood for help - and he makes her an irresistible offer. He needs a pair of eyes in the King s Houses, and quiet, unassuming Jane - who has spent her whole life going unnoticed - will be the perfect spy. At first, Jane s work for Robin seems straightforward. She whispers to him about the nobles at King s Houses and all their secrets, including the new Sheriff of Nottingham, who would like nothing more than to see Robin Hood s head on a spike. But the more Jane is drawn into Robin s world, the more she s drawn to Robin himself - a man as charismatic as he is cunning, capable of plucking at her heart as easily as he notches an arrow. As Robin s tricks grow increasingly dangerous, and shockingly violent, Jane starts to suspect that her hero cares more about his own legacy than helping the common people - and that despite his declarations of affection, he sees her as just another object to be stolen. When Robin s schemes implicate Jane in a brutal murder, she must decide: is she prize to be won, a pawn to be used and discarded - or is she an equal player in the game between nobles and thieves?
