Download or read book Twiglet written by Phyllis Mae Fisher and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twiglet: The Little Christmas Tree is a story of discoveries, miracles, and friendships in the lives of Reuben and Rachel Oliver and their Gramma O. Set in the town of Snowflake, with horses, adventures, and a Christmas Tree farm, Twiglet: the Little Christmas Tree is full of human kindness and the results of helping those in need. Along with Gran'pa Shepherd and Bright Starr, the twins end up finding seven special trees. Twiglet: The Little Christmas Tree is the product of sevens: seven authors, seven chapters, seven hours to draw up the first draft of the first chapter, seven typed pages. There are seven human characters in the first chapter and multiples of seven "art sparks" on each page throughout the story, there are seven letters in Twiglet, and the main author and illustrator, Phyllis Mae Richardson-Fisher, is the seventh of eight children. We added a forward in the shape of a tree, a table of contents using Roman numerals, a glossary of terms marked with a "snowflake" asterisk to help young readers know the meaning of some of the special words. A cast of human and animal characters (as they appear in the story) complete the reading aids. Twiglet: The Little Christmas Tree is not just a Christmas story; it takes us through seven years as Rueben and Rachel learn the benefits of helping others, the importance of doing good in school, and that miracles are a part of our everyday life.

Download or read book Jade Goody How It All Began My First Book written by Jade Goody and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moment Jade Goody stepped into the Big Brother house in 2002, her life changed forever. As soon as she opened her mouth on national TV, Jade secured her place as the unofficial winner of the third series of Big Brother and became the most famous reality TV star in the UK. The glitz and glamour of Jade s sudden fame was a far cry from the real-life drama of the estate where she made her start. Brought up in a run-down part of Bermondsey, South London, caring for her disabled mum and with her dad in and out of prison, she had experienced more by the time she started secondary school than most people do in their whole lifetime. But Jade always lived her life with incredible spirit and that is what endeared her to millions of people during her time on Big Brother. Behind the bubbly exterior, though, there was a tough and fiercely determined lady. Jade was always the first to admit that she had made mistakes and there were many trials and tribulations along the way. But when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2008, she faced the toughest battle of her life, in the full glare of the national media. Jade fought with dignity and unbelievable strength of character, never giving up hope and always striving to do the best she could for her beloved boys, Bobby and Freddy. In this, the second instalment of her autobiography, Jade spares no detail as she reveals all about her time in therapy, her tempestuous relationship with the love of her life, Jack Tweed (who she married in February 2009) and the trauma of her cancer diagnosis. Funny, moving and disarmingly honest, Fighting to the End truly is a fitting tribute to one of Britain s best loved celebrities.

Locals love their pub dogs and landlords often say that people come in as much for the dog as for anything else. Dogs make a pub feel like home for regulars. Fleckney and Lucas chronicle the incredible variety of dogs that actually live in, rather than simply visit, Britain's pubs. They showcase the dogs with their beautiful photographic portraits and tell their stories, too. In feel, this is very much a 'family album' of British pub dogs.
