The Girl Who Loved Adventures: New Home New Friends
Step back to the 1950s with The Girl Who Loved Adventures: New Home, New Friends. This second heartfelt and nostalgic collection of short stories is inspired by the childhood of a spirited seven-year-old girl named Rose. When Rose and her family move to a new subdivision in southeastern Ontario, a whole new world of adventure unfolds . . . and like all children, Rose loves adventures! From waiting eagerly for the friendly bread truck to being chased by a bull in a farmer's field to skating on the frozen creek, Rose's escapades are filled with curiosity, mischief, and the timeless lessons that come with growing up. Each story captures the simplicity and wonder of childhood in an era long past-when neighbourhoods were smaller, playtime was outside no matter the weather, and every day brought the possibility of something new to discover.
Written with warmth and humour, these true-to-life tales are designed to delight young readers and their families while sparking meaningful conversations. At the end of each chapter, thoughtful questions and reflections encourage readers to share their own experiences and explore the valuable lessons Rose learned along her journey.
Whether you're a parent looking to inspire family discussions, a child with an adventurous spirit, or simply someone reminiscing about a bygone era, this book is a timeless celebration of life's little joys, big lessons, and the adventures that define us.
