Sinopse

In 'Polly in New York,' Lillian Elizabeth Roy crafts a captivating narrative that follows the spirited young protagonist, Polly, as she navigates the vibrant landscape of early 20th-century New York City. The book is marked by its engaging and accessible literary style, characterized by vivid descriptions and relatable dialogue that evoke the bustling energy of urban life. Set against a backdrop of cultural diversity and economic opportunity, Roy intertwines themes of ambition, friendship, and the challenges faced by a young girl in a vast metropolis, reflecting the societal shifts of her time. Lillian Elizabeth Roy, a noted author of children's literature, drew inspiration from her own experiences and observations as a writer during a period of robust change in American society. Her background in storytelling and education influenced her ability to resonate with young readers, embodying the hopes and aspirations of children exploring their identity and independence. Roy'Äôs own journey as a female writer at the turn of the century undoubtedly shaped her portrayal of strong, resourceful heroines like Polly. I highly recommend 'Polly in New York' to anyone interested in classic children's literature and stories of personal growth. This delightful tale offers both entertainment and insight, making it a valuable addition to the collections of young readers and literary enthusiasts alike.

Except the Little Soul didn't just want to understand forgiveness--the Little Soul wanted to experience forgiveness and know what it felt like to forgive another. So God helped in the best of all possible ways: by putting the Little Soul in the body of Meghan, a newborn baby just beginning to explore all the magic the world had to offer.But God never sends any Little Soul to Earth all alone. God sent along Melvin, a guardian angel, and a promise that God would always be there--even if the Little Soul forgot from time to time.Experience the world through the eyes of the Little Soul in her first few moments on Earth as Meghan meets her mommy and daddy, learns about love, and begins to figure out what it means--and how it feels--to be human.The Little Soul and the Earth is a delightful, vividly told and illustrated tale from the team that created The Little Soul and the Sun. The first of a new series of Little Soul adventures, it exemplifies the vital truth that God is with us always, no matter where our own adventures lead and no matter how many times we may forget that truth. Gently reminding us that beauty and love are all around, the world of the joyous Little Soul is a place your child will want to visit again and again.
