Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate look at one majestic hundred-year-old oak tree through four seasons--and the reality of global climate change it reveals. In the life of this one grand oak, we can see for ourselves the results of one hundred years of rapid environmental change. It's leafing out earlier, and dropping its leaves later as the climate warms. Even the inner workings of individual leaves have changed to accommodate more CO2 in our atmosphere. Climate science can seem dense, remote, and abstract. But through the lens of this one tree, it becomes immediate and intimate. In Witness Tree, environmental reporter Lynda V. Mapes takes us through her year living with one red oak at the Harvard Forest. We learn about carbon cycles and leaf physiology, but also experience the seasons as people have for centuries, watching for each new bud, and listening for each new bird and frog call in spring. We savor the cadence of falling autumn leaves, and glory of snow and starry winter nights. Lynda takes us along as she climbs high into the oak's swaying boughs, and scientists core deep into the oak's heartwood, dig into its roots and probe the teeming life of the soil. She brings us eye-level with garter snakes and newts, and alongside the squirrels and jays devouring the oak's acorns. Season by season she reveals the secrets of trees, how they work, and sustain a vast community of lives, including our own. The oak is a living timeline and witness to climate change. While stark in its implications, Witness Tree is a beautiful and lyrical read, rich in detail, sweeps of weather, history, people, and animals. It is a story rooted in hope, beauty, wonder, and the possibility of renewal in people's connection to nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the top of a cliff overlooking the sea was an oak tree that was 365 years old. It was an unimaginable age for the mayflies, tiny creatures who lived only one day. The oak only slept during the winter. The rest of the year, he remained alert. That year, like every year, he began to lose his leaves in autumn. He knew that he was about to go to sleep for the last time! Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not once upon a time, but right now, in a forest called Old Oak Wood, faeries frolic, invisible to those humans who choose not to believe in them. In A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S FAERY TALE, doll maker Wendy Froud and award winning fantasy author Terri Windling collaborate to tell the story of one of these elusive fellows, a young tree-root faery named Sneezle. Each page of this delightful book is graced with an elaborately staged photo of Froud's doll creations in their natural habitats, paired with Windling's story of Sneezle's unlikely heroism. Sneezle and his diaphanous friends are adorable enough to charm children and adults alike. Sneezle's adventures begin when he sets out to fetch the Midsummer crown for King Oberon. Meanwhile, the Faery Queen Titania is found asleep, victim of a powerful magic spell. The hopes of the faery kingdom ride on Sneezle who encounters fascinating forest characters, discovers the identity of the wicked sorceress who has enchanted the queen, and learns about courage and loyalty. He also figures out that being 'same old Sneezle' is a fine thing to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rodger and Jacob are officially military kids. Theyve had to move to new communities across America since they were babies. In South Carolina, the children had an especially difficult time settling in. This move was particularly difficult because it was the first time their dad couldnt come. His orders delayed him for eight months in Kansas. When he finally joined the family in South Carolina, he had to deploy to Kuwait for almost a year. Their mom knew the boys were having a rough time fitting in at school, 2nd and 4th grade was challenging. One good thing about the move was the family lived near the boys grandparents. Grandma loved to cook and Granddad was always outside fixing something. After school, though, when the boys came home they were so unhappy. Jacob insisted on having a bedtime story before he would go to sleep at night. So their mom would make up these really awesome bedtime stories with the boys as the main characters. It helped them to dream of a place where they were happy all the time. This lifted their spirits on the nights they could not sleep. The story begins with Rodger and Jacob visiting their grandmother who is secretly married to the keeper of the old oak tree, Mr. Stimer, whom the boys meet on accident. Later on, the boys begin to realize that the Oak tree is really magical and that little angel children from heaven called Quiblings, make the magic and that the Stimers vow to live this secret double life so the Quiblings dont have to be sad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a desperate plea to save Anouka from complete demise, William and Rosabella Joy are hurled into a web of strange new friends. A Black Witch is set to turn the human world into a slavery of coldness if she finds her way in. Her accomplice, an elusive goblin, is trying to capture four children, and if these children surround the Old Oak Tree only darkness will prevail for eternity. But who is he? Angus Moon, a charming Scottish boy, is bewildering and no one seems to understand his role. Alyssa too seems a rather knowledgeable dark horse. And Myriad, the elf? Well, he's just ridiculously tiny. A new headmaster, Mr Vixonight, is acting suspicious. Miss Terrine? She just smells of old coffee. And Miss Lovett? Too bothersome she is. At the crux of Anouka, will the light or the dark side prevail? Will Mr Vixonight be able to hide his true colours? Will Angus Moon ever stop flirting. And Alyssa? Will her heroine nature help or hinder? William and Rosabella could get slain alongside their friends, or will Mrs Joy be able to rely on her son to get back home unscathed, with at least a semi-pleasing school report? For once.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written around 150 years ago by Hans Christian Andersen, a Danish author, The Last Dream of the Old Oak Tree is a story of the seasons of life that ends on a note of hope and gratitude. The Last Dream of the Old Oak Tree has not lost any of its poignant beauty for readers today. Malaysian artist, Chooi Ling Keiong, has interpreted Andersen's story with her wonderfully realistic art work that bring to life the story’s simple yet profound message. This version produced by Oyez!Books has been modernised and simplified for today’s children but it is also a story that will resonate with adults. Andersen’s own life was like a fairy tale. He was born into a poor family and his father died when he was only eleven. He didn’t enjoy school and didn’t know what he wanted to do. It was only when he was in his forties that his fairy tales were recognised. He is probably best known for The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor’s New Clothes and The Little Match Girl.
