Book Description
Christmas is a special time of year. A time when families come together, friendships are rekindled, and even strangers treat one another with kindness. But, on two separate occasions, for two lonely, stuffed teddy bears that remained unpurchased on a grocery store shelf, the holiday is proving to be a lonely and empty time.A charming new children's book, Harry B. and Timmy T.'s Beary Magical Christmas, shares several wonderful lessons that revolve around a pair of forgotten stuffed animals.It becomes a magical Christmas for the bears when a supermarket store clerk, whose mission in life is rescuing unwanted cats, sees their need and rescues them.This story teaches us the value of adoption, caring for animals, and how one person's generosity can make a difference. Readers are in for a beary big treat! The opening lines of Lynch's wonderful story set the tone for readers: "Magic happens. Sometimes it happens in the most unusual places. We just have to look to see it. We just have to believe it exists. Life is full of the unexpected. It is what makes life interesting, surprising, and fun."Lynch writes about two teddy bears -- Timmy T. and Harry B -- who even at 50% off could not find any takers, not even during the gift-giving, holiday season. She writes of Timmy T. as follows. "Whoever made this particular bear did not stuff him properly. So, unlike the other bears, who when placed on the shelf, or wherever they were displayed, sat up nice and straight and looked bright, happy, and appealing, this bear slumped and sagged and never did look happy with the whole arrangement. No matter how any of us tried to make him sit up, so people would notice him and want to buy him, he just lay there limp with a sad expression on his face." Imagine no child to hug the bears lovingly, or an adult looking pleased at the checkout counter at the prospect of one of the bears delighting a family member. Do stuffed bears have feelings, or even care if someone buys them? Lynch's story raises these questions, helping readers develop empathy for all creatures. Her book also offers educators and parents an opportunity to engage children with a list of discussion questions at the back of the book.Lynch illustrates through her story how the magic to create happy endings lies within each of us. All we have to do is to recognize the need, step forward, be kind and offer help in caring for another. "For there is magic in doing a good deed and the doer of that good deed is the one who benefits most," she writes. "There is no better feeling than knowing you have done something to make another's life better, even if that someone is only a stuffed bear."

Book Description
Do Stuffed Bears Have Feelings? Christmas is coming, but it is proving anything but joyous for two lonely, stuffed bears.

Their Christmas becomes magical when a store clerk, whose mission in life is rescuing unwanted cats, sees their need and rescues them. The story teaches us the value of adopting, be it an animal, a child, or even a stuffed bear, and how one person's generosity can make a difference in someone, or something's life. Author Karen A.

Book Description
A 2015 Whitney Award Nominee! A powerful story of loss, second chances, and first love, reminiscent of Sarah Dessen and John Green. When Oakley Nelson loses her older brother, Lucas, to cancer, she thinks she’ll never recover. Between her parents’ arguing and the battle she’s fighting with depression, she feels nothing inside but a hollow emptiness. When Mom suggests they spend a few months in California with Aunt Jo, Oakley isn’t sure a change of scenery will alter anything, but she’s willing to give it a try. In California, Oakley discovers a sort of safety and freedom in Aunt Jo’s beach house. Once they’re settled, Mom hands her a notebook full of letters addressed to her—from Lucas. As Oakley reads one each day, she realizes how much he loved her, and each letter challenges her to be better and to continue to enjoy her life. He wants her to move on. If only it were that easy. But then a surfer named Carson comes into her life, and Oakley is blindsided. He makes her feel again. As she lets him in, she is surprised by how much she cares for him, and that’s when things get complicated. How can she fall in love and be happy when Lucas never got the chance to do those very same things? With her brother’s dying words as guidance, Oakley knows she must learn to listen and trust again. But will she have to leave the past behind to find happiness in the future?

Book Description
A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
