Why Look at this Book? This charming & beautifully illustrated book is a useful reader for preteen social science discussions, where the key focus points in this book are friendship, depression & lifestyle choices. The Main Story This endearing story is excellent at outlining the importance of friendship and teaches young readers especially preteens to talk about their issues if they are depressed. The owl, Tristan, is rejected by all other animals in the woods because he is just "not normal"; always "off-balance". It takes the curious cat, Emily to come along and change all that. She helps set up safety nets around Tristan to prevent him getting as hurt when he loses his balance. Although it takes some time for trust to develop, she perseveres and carefully starts introducing new lifestyle choices to Tristan that may help him combat his depression. The Premise of this Story This book covers issues such as depression, kindness, friendship as well as our lifestyle choices. The talking points at the end of the story help stimulate discussion around these topics. In addition, there are fun facts about owls to get detailed insights about the animals.
Autorenporträt
Martha Begley Schade is a writer and author of the highly acclaimed Galway Fairytales series. After years of working in business management, during which she had also written several books relative to her work, she has now put pen to paper to realize a lifelong dream of story-telling, a talent that was handed down through generations in her family. With a B.Sc. in physics & maths, and an MBA, her new venture into children's storytelling comes from a lifelong passion of entertaining and educating children. After 22 great years of living and working in Germany, she returned to Galway in 2008 with her two sons. The only place she ever wanted to live, she finds the Tribes people are the kindest and most caring she has ever met. Together with the sea air, the seagulls flying overhead, the buzz of the city, the glistening beaches and beautiful hills of Connemara, all combine to only cement her love for her adopted home.
