“Nigel half-smiled. How Stella's eyes sparkled in the firelight! "I heard you play the violin very well." "I play a few tunes." Stella Chapman's voice tailed off, her red hair fell forward, screening her face. "And you?" Billy said, diverting attention to the sandy-haired questioner. "What do you plan to do with the rest of your life?" Nigel went quiet. "Anything, I guess." He threw out his arms, his palms facing upward. How would they understand? Only he had lived his life.” MusicYoung Adult FictionDogsWolvesJuvenile FictionChildrens FictionDog Sledding Book:The Girl in The Red Cape Source: The Girl in The Red Cape
“Caring for dogs teaches kids observation skills, empathy and a sense of responsibility. Taking part in sport helps children cultivate physical strength, mental and physical resilience, self-esteem, delayed gratification, patience, courage, independence, leadership skills, good judgement and decision making, collaboration skills and a passion for teamwork. I have long held the belief that sport is worthwhile, and something that is often underestimated in the individual and team values it fosters. Who ever said that sporty types - girls included - do not like a fairy tale? Sport can be the beginning of a journey where children discover that they - and their team - whether dogs or humans, can create and fulfil their passions and their dreams” ActionLeadershipBooksAdventureDogsSportChildrens BooksFairytalesThe Girl In The Red CapeWinter Sports Author:Suzy Davies

“Far, far away, in a place known as Alaska, darkness was beginning to fall. A man was walking across the vast wilderness. He made slow progress. His dog pulled on the leash as if she knew they were almost there. They were headed for Anchorage. The dog, a fur ball of energy, kept her nose to the ground. She moved fast as if something was driving her forward, some kind of reward or prize.” AdventureDogsNew ReleaseThe Girl In The Red CapeFairytale RetellingsSuzy DaviesSleddingCharles PerraultLittle Red Riding Hood Retelling Book:The Girl in The Red Cape Source: The Girl in The Red Cape
