Love rolls in

Downing, Erin Soderberg,


Siblings Ruby and Henry have an unusual kind of home life compared to their friends. Their family operates an animal sanctuary with a unique collection of full-time pet residents: a pig, a dog, the world's bossiest cat, two silly goats, and a llama who thinks he's a human. Not to mention, Ruby and Henry's mom is also a vet at the animal clinic in town. Let's just say, when it comes to animals, it's hard for Ruby and Henry's family to say no. But a couple months ago, their parents decided that the farm is full. No additional resident farm animals. No more fosters. Of course, rules are meant to be broken... A scared puppy has just arrived at their mom's clinic, and he's lost mobility in his back legs because of an injury. What's worse is that the newly named Arlo clearly knows he's been abandoned. But with Ruby's builder brain, Henry's heart, and a little bit of kindness from their ragtag group of animals at the sanctuary, they might just be able to teach Arlo how to trust again.

Childhood Interrupted : A Child Migrant’s Journey /

Donnelly Toms, Evelyn.


In 1618, a group of orphaned children left Britain for Richmond, Virginia in the United States of America. It was to be the beginning of an extraordinary era in British History—formerly referred to as The British Child Migration Scheme. This was a more acceptable name to many than Child Separation, and this scheme was to last for more than 350 years. This is the child migrant story of Evelyn Donnelly Toms and the bravery and tenacity she exhibited to avoid her pre-determined future as a domestic servant. Her migration from England to Canada in 1945 through The Fairbridge Association is what would become the heart of a touching memoir about overcoming adversity and making the best of a bad situation with a little bit of luck thrown in. The story does not end there. Coupled with restoring identity, reuniting family and reclaiming dignity, this story proves it is never too late to find out where you came from.
