Books with author Mary Maud

ʺThere lived a 10-year-old boy named David. He had thick, long eyelashes and a cute little nose. He was the luckiest boy in town. Mum was always around whenever he needed her–at the school gate to pick him up; at the study table, to help him with his homework; at the kitchen, to prepare his favourite crispy fried chicken. One day, Mum did not come home, and never would. David’s world came tumbling down. What would happen to him?”David's Story is an exploration of a child's grief and journey of healing after the passing of his mother. It brings to light the importance of family support, hope, resilience, love and growth in the face of hardship. The story serves as a great starting point to help address and manage feelings of grief and loss in children.

Is this another collection of stupid poems that children cannot use? Will they look hopelessly through this volume for poems that suit them? Will they say despairingly, "This is too long," and "That is too hard," and "I don't like that because it is not interesting"? Are there three or four pleasing poems and are all the rest put in to fill up the book? Nay, verily! The poems in this collection are those that children love. With the exception of seven, they are short enough for children to commit to memory without wearying themselves or losing interest in the poem.

It was said that the Queen was dying. She lay at Richmond, in the palace looking out upon the wintry, wooded, March-shaken park, but London, a few miles away, had daily news of how she did. There was much talk about her-the old Queen-much telling of stories and harking back. She had had a long reign-“Not far from fifty years, my masters!”-and in it many important things had happened. The crowd in the streets, the barge and wherry folk upon the wind-ruffled river, the roisterers in the taverns drinking ale or sack, merchants and citizens in general talking of the times in the intervals of business, old soldiers and seamen ashore, all manner of folk, indeed, agreed upon the one most important thing. The most important thing had been the scattering of the Armada fifteen years before.
