Описание:
Hamilton, Ontario, 1953.
A nine-year-old boy meets with a horrific death at the hands of a sociopath; his little body is then hidden away in a soon-to-be-sealed tenement coal chute where it lies for two decades. The remains, discovered by contractors rerouting a pipe in 1974, make for sensational news; the fact that ten small bones are missing causes further speculation. But interest in the cold case fades quickly--except in the imagination of a tragically lonely boy named Scott Campbell, a resident of that sad building who suffers (equally) from undiagnosed Selective Mutism and the terrible neglect of his mentally ill mother. In the building's furnace room, Scotty meets his one and only friend: a child's playful, coal-black shadow that follows him through a litany of foster homes and into adulthood.
Now, in 1987, thirteen years after the discovery of those remains, Scotty is an enigmatic street artist who makes strange sculptures out of found objects, which he leaves in the forgotten and overlooked corners of the city. Scotty's social worker, Simon, despairs over Scotty's plight: the mute will soon be completely on his own, for he aged out of government-sponsored aid almost two years ago and is now living on the remnants of a miracle extension arranged by Simon's boss. Simon also has his own dilemma: as a Mohawk with invested interest in the Six Nations of the Grand River, he feels like he is betraying his own community by working for the government-funded Children's Aid Society in Hamilton. Caught between pressure at home and the impending end of Scotty's meagre support, Simon is losing faith in both the System and himself.
Little Bones is a heart-rending tale of loss, redemption, and the cruel consequences of investing in that most beautiful of lies--hope.

Описание:
Phoebe is nervous about reading--she is embarrassed that she will say things wrong, so she just doesn't read at all.
Phoebe worried when she didn't know the sound of a letter. And letters that were joined together made her freeze.
When Mrs. Spinelli's class goes on a field trip to the animal shelter to practice reading, Phoebe is paired with Big Boo, a rescue dog, who is scared of her like she's scared of reading.
But when she starts reading, Big Boo and Phoebe form an incredible connection and the two turn their fears into a positive experience. Phoebe kept reading. When she got stuck, Big Boo didn't mind one bit.
A heart-warming tale that acknowledges a child's anxiety and fear over reading and turns it around. A true celebration of the joy of reading and friendship.
I think this is a beautiful heart warming story about the beginning of a trusting bond.--books_for_boys
An adorable sweet book for kids who need a little help with reading and building confidence, and for all those who love dogs.--ragamuffin.books

Описание: By critically analysing the often romanticised discourses of `heritage`, `community engagement`, and `sustainable development` the volume suggests ways of harnessing aspects of heritage to tackle some of the socio-economic and political pressures facing heritage practices on the continent, including the legacies of colonialism.
