Summary: Pontus the Penguin Goes Visiting is a reference book skilfully disguised as a picture book, designed for all families. The story naturally takes the reader from one family to the next as Pontus, the nursery’s soft toy penguin, goes home for the evening with one child in turn. First he visits Kirsikka, then Ilona, Kauri and Malviina. The story amusingly and simply explains how all of them were made in a way that small listeners can easily understand. Along the way we learn about in vitro fertilisation, egg and sperm donation, a two-mum family and adoption.

When his mother scolds him for not liking fish like all the other pelicans, he tries again to like fish by snatching up his next fish. But when he scoops up a fish on his attempt to give fish another try, the fish he captures happens to speak Pelican and asks him to please not eat him. He wants to live he says, plus he is still young. The pelican didn’t want to eat him anyway so that was fine with him. The pelican admits to his new friend that he actually prefers hot dogs. And the fish admits that he too is different in that he can speak Pelican. The two form a bond. This is the story of a friendship between two unique individuals and a metaphor about being different.

Suddenly, a petite old lady wearing a blue dress and a pearl necklace came to Will's rescue. She paid for his cheese and smiled.

In this story, you will realize that even the smallest good deed can really make a huge impact!

Summary: It’s not easy to become friends with someone who is nothing like you—but surprising things can happen when you give it a try. Despite the fact that they share a name, Big Bob and Little Bob are different. Big Bob likes trucks and throwing balls and being loud. Little Bob likes dolls and jingling bracelets and being quiet. No matter what they do, they do not do it the same. Could they possibly be friends despite these differences? With humor and tenderness, James Howe and Laura Ellen Anderson beautifully depict the struggles and rewards that come when friendships are forged between different kinds of people.

ISBN: 1453547290 ; 9781453547298
Summary: From the heart of a man whose greatest wish and wildest dream in life is to be a father comes a wonderfully touching story of adoption and of dreams coming true. Author Brian Tessier and artist Donna Estabrooks collaborate to create The Wildest Dream, a heartwarming read that brings forth inspiring messages of hope, parenting, and faith. This book is the sibling of The Greatest Wish, as Tessier has two children, so there must be two books. The Wildest Dream, while able to stand out on its own follows The Greatest Wish. Everyone has dreams and these wild dreams can come true if one truly believes. In this beautifully crafted picture book, the author a single, gay father, shares with everyone the adoption story he tells his second son. But because of the depth of this story’s message, this can very well be applied and shared with those who want to convey how special someone is to them. The central message, is to communicate just how special someone is in your life, to have hope and persevere. With vivid colors, abstract images, and vibrant paintings, the artist has adroitly captured the real essence of the story; thus, perfectly complementing the author’s words and message. The Wildest Dream was birthed from wishes, created by hope, and written in love for all who deserve to know that they are someone’s wildest dream. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book fund We Hear the Children Inc (www.wehearthechildren.org), an organization created to benefit education, the arts, diversity, tolerance and environmental children.
