Produktbeschreibung

Time passes, and seasons change. Often, we change with them. The Turning of the Year is a short story collection that looks at each of the twelve months as separate and special. These stories are both down-to-earth and optimistic, based on author Jim Crompton's observations from forty years spent teaching, as well as watching nine grandchildren and a great-grandson. Each tale covers a wide range of challenges faced by children and young people today. Read of the autistic boy who comes to terms with a New Year's celebration. A brother and sister come to realize that a scary witch is in fact a caring young woman with a disability. There are tales of bullies, the culture shock of moving to a new country, and a slow recovery from illness. The Turning of the Year looks at and celebrates responses to a diverse spectrum of challenges. Each chapter embraces the turning seasons and the joy that each month and each kind of weather can bring. Crompton shares a message of faith and hope, applauding the unnoticed bravery and kindness inherent in us all.
