Ever since Buddy the little Indie pup entered Papayi's life, it has been one adventure after another for them both. Buddy lived on the streets of Bengaluru-a teeming metropolis in South India. How he charmed everyone he met, managed to move from the streets to Papayi's home and heart, and helped her family battle the pandemic lockdown blues is described in this true story that will bring smiles, tears, and warmth to your heart.
Street dogs in urban India have a difficult life. They have to claim their space, forage for food, live through disease and pain, face human cruelty, battle traffic and, be lucky enough to live another day. Yet, through all these challenges, the highly intelligent and resilient local Indian breeds make many friends - both human and animal. You will meet many such friends of Buddy in this book. Dog lovers in cities like Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore) toil day and night to make lives better for dogs like Buddy. They organize groups, petition the government, start movements like Adopt-Don't-Shop and foster many such street dogs in their homes and shelters. Indeed, dogs like Buddy become Community Dogs - not 'owned' by anyone in particular but looked after by many in the neighborhood.
Dogs bring a joy to humans that is probably unparalleled due to their unconditional and unjudgmental nature. During the lockdowns induced by a pandemic, Papayi finds much to smile and chuckle about -- all thanks to Buddy who becomes a fixture in her home during those months. His antics help her beat the pandemic blues and in turn, Buddy finds a warm place to sleep and food generously garnished with love and affection. He is an Indie street dog - i.e., he vigorously guards his independence and refuses to be locked down inside the house. Buddy wants the best of both worlds - the love, safety, shelter and food at Papayi's house, and the freedom of roaming the streets, befriending other dogs and humans, and being a true street dog. What a wonderful life it is.
Buddy and Papayi will give you a glimpse into their lives in Bengaluru. You will not forget Buddy once you see and hear him through the stories that both narrate in this book.

Описание: The New York Times bestselling author of the Oprah Book Club Pick Cane River brings us the evocative story of a once-enslaved man who buys his freedom after serving as a translator during the American Indian Wars, and his granddaughter, who sustains his legacy of courage. Cow Tom, born into slavery in Alabama in 1810 and sold to a Creek Indian chief before his tenth birthday, possessed an extraordinary gift: the ability to master languages. As the new country developed westward, and Indians, settlers, and blacks came into constant contact, Cow Tom became a key translator for his Creek master and was hired out to US military generals. His talent earned him money--but would it also grant him freedom? And what would become of him and his family in the aftermath of the Civil War and the Indian Removal westward? Cow Tom's legacy lives on--especially in the courageous spirit of his granddaughter Rose. She rises to leadership of the family as they struggle against political and societal hostility intent on keeping blacks and Indians oppressed. But through it all, her grandfather's indelible mark of courage inspires her--in mind, in spirit, and in a family legacy that never dies. Written in two parts portraying the parallel lives of Cow Tom and Rose, Citizens Creek is a beautifully rendered novel that takes the reader deep into a little known chapter of American history. It is a breathtaking tale of identity, community, family--and above all, the power of an individual's will to make a difference.

Sweaty palms and shouts of "Arggghhh" should not be your reaction at the thought of tucking the kiddies in at night. Read along with Daisy and her family for a sweet tale and even sweeter tips on having a peaceful and stress free bedtime routine. You may even secure some much needed slumber time yourself.
Setting a time for bed, with a nightly routine, has tremendous benefits for the entire family. For one, it is an opportunity for children to learn how to relax and sooth themselves, a skill that is useful for their entire lives.
Another benefit is that routines set reasonable expectations, and can transform bedtime into a special time for bonding while removing the stress sometimes associated with making sure everyone gets a good night of sleep and relaxation. This is especially great in a household with more than one child.
When story time is a part of the routine it can lead a child to a love of language deep inside and there's no good reason to stop as you all get older. Reading aloud together even as children enter their teenage years is widely recommended as an aid to keep the family connected in a positive way.
Bedtime and bedtime routines help us get the sleep we need so that we may function at peak levels in order to be our best selves.
