Back in the days before computers and cellphones, kids made their own fun, so Mindy Piper is good at finding things to do. Best of all is the 4th of July with the annual Kiddie Parade. But this year, everything is different. Mindy’s older brother, Brad, is too busy mowing lawns, and her younger brother, Toby, just gets into mischief. Mom has promised to finish a job for her client and doesn’t have time for anything else, and Dad is on the road and won’t get home in time. Then, Mindy promises to babysit her little brother, so she doesn’t have time to plan for the parade either. That means there won’t be any 4th of July celebration for the Piper family, unless Mindy can figure out a way to save the day

Beloved author-illustrator Shirley Hughes portrays the life of a young scullery maid in 1911 England as she stumbles and scrabbles toward her true place in life.Daisy Dobbs has a mother and little twin brothers, but she lives far from them, serving as a maid in a big house owned by two refined old ladies. Daisy scrubs floors and sweeps stairs, washes dishes and peels potatoes. And sometimes she makes mistakes—like hanging the ladies’ red bloomers out the window for all to see. But in the evenings, Daisy sometimes has a moment to herself, which she uses for her favorite thing: borrowing books from the big house’s parlor. When disaster strikes in the form of a kitchen fire, and Daisy’s quick thinking saves the day, the ladies reward her in the best possible way. With atmospheric text and engaging illustrations, Shirley Hughes gently reminds us that reading is a gift to be treasured.

Maya Saves the Day Maya Saves the Day contains three stories. In ‘The Tiger in Maya’s House’, young Maya creates a satisfying amount of chaos while bravely pursuing an escaped tiger. ‘Maya’s Parents are Very Naughty’ begins with a normal family outing to the shops but when Maya and her baby sister realise that they have become separated from their parents, a very curious Maya eventually finds a solution that lets them know in no uncertain terms how naughty they are for wandering off. I love this story for the real bravery it encapsulates (it is unthinkable that Maya herself might consider herself lost – logically, how can she be when she knows exactly where she is) and because it is so empowering for young children.
