Since its beginning in 1973, \u003cem\u003eStone Soup\u003c\/em\u003ehas published art, poetry, and short fiction springing from the imaginations of young writers and artists. For the under-14s, family--or the lack of it--is not only at the center of their world; for the most part, family \u003cem\u003eis\u003c\/em\u003etheir world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this collection, we encounter all sorts of families: happy families, broken families, extended families, bereaved families, and the non-related families we choose for ourselves. In these tales of summer vacations, sibling relationships, family traditions, moving house or moving country, births, deaths, and \"normal\" everyday life, these young authors expose a myriad of emotions that we experience along with their characters: joy, anger, jealousy, confusion, unhappiness, amusement--and, above everything, love. The stories represent a quest for, and movement towards, deeper understanding of these various aspects of family life. Be prepared for a read that takes you through the fun of silly games with siblings, the sorrows of bereavement and divorce, the pleasures of bonding with grandparents and carers, and the longing for absent parents-all in the context of some truly creative storytelling. It's a richly challenging experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55152763240739,"sku":"9780894090608","price":25.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8279\/8371\/files\/SLMNrXCIOe9780894090608.webp?v=1779793560","url":"https:\/\/homeschoolbookbarn.com\/products\/the-stone-soup-book-of-family-stories-paperback","provider":"Homeschool Book Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
