Bud, Not Buddy

Bud’s journey through Depression-era Michigan is a heartwarming tale of resilience and hope. Orphaned and alone, this plucky 10-year-old sets out to find the father he’s never known, armed only with his suitcase of precious possessions and an unshakeable belief. Curtis weaves humor and history into a poignant adventure that had me rooting for Bud every step of the way. It’s a story that lingers, reminding us of the power of family, both found and biological.

Heidi

Heidi by Johanna Spyri is a heartwarming tale that transports readers to the Swiss Alps. This classic follows the journey of a spirited little girl named Heidi, who brings joy and warmth to everyone she meets. Sent to live with her grumpy grandfather in the mountains, Heidi’s infectious love for life slowly thaws his hardened heart. I found myself deeply moved by Heidi’s resilience and optimism, making this book a timeless treasure.
