When Winter — an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin — was just three months old, she was rescued from a crab trap off the east coast of Florida, her tail seriously damaged. She was rushed to Clearwater Marine Aquarium where she was cared for by a special team around the clock.
It wasn’t clear that Winter would survive but to everyone’s amazement, she did. Eventually, Winter’s tail fell off, which caused her to compensate by swimming with a side-to-side motion like a fish instead of an up-and-down motion like a dolphin. Over time, it was apparent that she was seriously damaging her spine.
Then something amazing happened: a team of experts from a renowned company that makes prosthetics for humans heard about Winter and decided to help. Now Winter is learning how to use a prosthetic tail and her odds for living the normal life of a dolphin are looking great — Winter is thriving and using her new tail with great command.
Winter is an inspiration to everyone, especially to children around the globe who face challenges themselves. With gorgeous photographs and an unbelievable story,
Winter’s Tail
promises to inspire and delight.

Nancy Bentley was bitten by a snake on the shores of Port Arthur in Tasmania. There was no medical help nearby so Nancy's father rowed her out to the HMAS Sydney in the bay.
In 1920 women were not allowed on naval vessels. In order to comply with regulations Nancy Bentley was enlisted into the Royal Australian Navy. Nancy was six years of age and the first female to be inducted into the Royal Australian Navy. The Navy looked after her for eight days before discharging her because she was 'required by her parents'.
A moving and fascinating true story.

1945 was a hard time to be a child in Japan. Many had seen their cities destroyed by US bombers. Food, fuel and materials were in short supply. Yet spirits remained high.
In April 1945, Yoko Moriwaki started high school in Hiroshima, excited to be a prestigious 'Kenjo' girl and full of duty towards her parents, school and country. But the country was falling apart and in four months time her city would become the target for the first atomic bomb ever used as a weapon.
In her diary, Yoko provides an account of that time — when conditions were so poor that children as young as twelve were required to work in industry; when fierce battles raged in the Pacific and children like Yoko believed victory was near.
With additions by Yoko's relatives and fellow students, and an introduction by award-winning author Paul Ham,
Yoko's Diary
not only shows us the hopes, beliefs and daily life of a young girl in wartime Japan, it is a touching account of the consequences of the first nuclear bombing of a city.

Maria Andzelm was a Catholic teenager growing up in Nazi-occupied Poland. One by one, her Jewish friends and neighbours were hauled away to undisclosed locations, never to be seen or heard from again. Then Maria’s family took in two Jewish men. They hid them in a box underneath the floor of their barn. Every day, Maria brought them food to satisfy their stomachs and books to feed their minds. She did this every day for two years–and paid a terrible price.
Read Maria’s stirring story as well as the gripping accounts of five other teenagers who willingly put their lives in jeopardy for the sake of saving Jews during World War II.
