Summary

In "Little Sunbeam," Eleanora H. Stooke offers a poignant exploration of childhood innocence juxtaposed with the pervasive shadows of societal expectation. This eloquently crafted narrative unfolds through a blend of lyrical prose and vivid imagery, painting a rich tapestry of a young girl's experiences in a world that is both enchanting and daunting. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, Stooke meticulously captures the nuances of family dynamics, societal pressures, and the fleeting nature of joy, all while maintaining a tone that oscillates between nostalgia and a subtle critique of contemporary mores. Eleanora H. Stooke, a dedicated educator and ardent advocate for children's literature, has infused her own insights and experiences into this work. Growing up in a time when children's voices were often muted, her literary journey has aimed to amplify the perspectives of the young. Stooke's passion for fostering creativity in children is mirrored in her characters, making "Little Sunbeam" not just a story, but a reflection of her belief in the inherent value of childhood dreams and aspirations. I highly recommend "Little Sunbeam" to those seeking a thoughtful and evocative read that delights both the heart and mind. Perfect for educators, parents, and anyone who cherishes the unadulterated joy of youth, this book serves as a gentle reminder of the resilience of hope and the beauty that can emerge even in the face of adversity.

National Book Award winner Pete Hautman explores a friendship like no other—and the universal truth that dogs make life better, especially for underdogs.  
Evan doesn’t seem to fit in at school or at home. He goes out of his way to avoid attention. He sits at the back of the bus, keeps his head down in class, and keeps to himself. But when a burr-covered border collie—a survivor with a gut instinct about the Boy—starts following him around and joining him on his runs, Evan’s simple duck-and-dodge existence becomes a lot more complicated… a lot more like life.  
Evolving from wary companions to steadfast friends, Evan and the dog run fast and far together, thwart an abusive dog breeder and the school bully, and find the courage to stand up for themselves and open up to those who matter most. Narrated in alternating viewpoints, this relatable contemporary novel with classic coming-of-age themes has all the hope, pathos, and emotional complexity that mark Pete Hautman’s books for middle-grade readers—and is a deeply satisfying read for animal lovers.
