a wonderful place to stay.
Except for one time, not long ago,
the day the trash came out to play."

It's not long before the town becomes overrun by mischievous, high-spirited litter. Can Robin fix the situation before everything is buried under a pile of unruly, stinking trash?

"My Brother is Very Special"
written by Amy Glorioso May
Illustrated by Laurie A. Faust
Trafford Publishing 2004

This story is about a little boy, Reed, who is very different than most little children. Reed has a severe speech disorder, Apraxia, which leaves him almost completely unintelligible to his peers. This story is told from the viewpoint of his sister, as she is well aware of his challenges and triumphs. Instead of exclusively focusing on what Reed is unable to do, this story portrays the many things he can do with his peers despite his inability to speak to them.

"My Brother is Very Special" gently teaches young children about acceptance in a way that they can developmentally understand. By reading this story to young children, we encourage them to ask questions about differences they see in others. Although the main character in this book has a speech disorder, it is written in a way that makes it universal. With developmentally appropriate text and bright, whimsical illustrations, "My Brother is Very Special" is perfect for all young children.

"Grandma, Why are there nails hanging on your tree?"
written by Ann M. Macey, Illustrated by Laurie A. Faust, Edited by Nina Modzdzanowski

Emily and Jacob visit their grandmother during the Christmas season. Grandma’s house is decorated with the usual crèche, wreath, and Christmas tree adorned with lights, ornaments, bows, berries, etc. But today, the children are very eager to know why everyone decorates as they do for the Christmas season…and why does Grandma have nails hanging on her Christmas tree?

Grandma gives them insight as to the real meaning of Christmas by using these decorations as learning tools. The children learn that Jesus Christ, and the purpose of His birth, is what should be recognized above all other distractions created by man during this holiday.
