Tin Cans And String  |  Plekist konservikarbid ja nöörid - by Virve Aljas-Switzer 

For ages 4-9yrs

Priya and Jay share stories every night using tin cans and string hung between their windows. Priya is devastated by the news that Jay and his family are moving far away. Using her resourcefulness, some unraveled sweaters and a few thousand knots, Priya learns that a little distance can’t keep close friends apart.

Priya ja Jay jagavad oma lugusid kasutades nende akende vahele tõmmatud konservikarpidest ja nööridest valmistatud telefone. Priya on väga õnnetu, kui saab teada, et Jay ning ta pere kolivad ära väga kaugele. Kasutades ära oma leidlikkust, mõnda üles harutatud kampsunit ja tuhandeid sõlmi, avastab Priya, et ükski vahemaa ei saa sõpru teineteisest eemal hoida.

Once in a While  |  Vahetevahel - by Virve Aljas-Switzer

For ages 1-10yrs

This book is for anyone who is missing someone they love. When we remember people who are far away, they never really leave us.

See raamat on mõeldud kõigile, kes igatsevad oma lähedaste järele. Kui mäletada neid, kes on kaugel, ei lahku nad tegelikult kunagi meie juurest.
