Cally’s father never mentions her mom, which seems to deny her existence. Cally then begins to see 
her mother- a ghost or imagining? - that is sometimes accompanied by a dog who Cally ends up naming “homeless” because the dog always turns up independently. The theme of this story is grief, loss, love, and death. This book can be a lesson to many kids that everyone loses someone or something every day and there are people out there suffering from grief. It's an introduction to children who are new to the concept of death and grief. Those who have dealt with that at an early age can relate to this book. The author may have expericed a death in their early childhood that inspired them to make this book.

Trixie does everything she can to get her beloved bunny back. As kids, we all carry a prised possession and this story can relate to many kids. The author of this story based this book on a real-life experience. I think he wanted to show kids that it's possible for your voice to be heard if something goes wrong or if you need help.  Kids grow up with something they love but eventually, that prized possession will be lost or forgotten. That's what we experience with our daily life anyway. ]]> 2021-12-04 03:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/typrocky/g9gp4qbnq4y95ukc/wish/1928432029 typrocky https://padlet.com/typrocky/g9gp4qbnq4y95ukc/wish/1943370934 My main theme that is relative to children’s literature and childhoods are love and loss.]]> 2021-12-13 00:31:14 UTC https://padlet.com/typrocky/g9gp4qbnq4y95ukc/wish/1943370934 Stuffed Animals typrocky https://padlet.com/typrocky/g9gp4qbnq4y95ukc/wish/1943387804 Stuffed animals teach compassion, how to love, how to be gentle with one another. Because stuffed animals are often gifted to us by people we love, they are the ultimate symbol of love. Stuffed animals are naturally loving and giving creatures.]]> 2021-12-13 00:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/typrocky/g9gp4qbnq4y95ukc/wish/1943387804 A "favorite " childhood Blanket typrocky https://padlet.com/typrocky/g9gp4qbnq4y95ukc/wish/1943393804 A blanket symbolizes warmth and comfort for the child when they need it the most. Most children carry something they've grown up with and they want to take care of it and have learned to love it. Most objects like this end up getting lost, forgotten, or thrown away once kids start to grow up. Objects like these are just memories now. Something you once love and cherished now is gone and forgotten. ]]> 2021-12-13 00:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/typrocky/g9gp4qbnq4y95ukc/wish/1943393804
