"Sophia and Alex Celebrate Winter Break" is one of eleven volumes in the "Sophia and Alex" series, written by Author Denise Bourgeois-Vance and illustrated by Artist Damon Danielson. The theme of the book centers on Sophia and Alex experiencing family traditions and recognizing other customs from cultures found around the world. The children learn that every tradition has value within a given culture or family and should be celebrated as each family wishes.The 32-page illustrated book shows varying types of customs, religions, and cultures so that children know that even though we don't all think, believe, or feel the same, that's ok. They learn at an early age that differences exist in the world, and this is what makes life so interesting.Each book in the "Sophia and Alex" series draws on storylines based on common events found in the life of an early learner. Children relate to the multi-cultural characters and learn the art of acceptance and inclusion in school and home settings. Through the use of dual text, the child can simultaneously learn to read in Ukrainian or English while better expressing themselves in each. Studies prove that bilingual children are more apt to excel in writing and reading in subsequent grades when given the tools at an early age. At the time of this printing, over two dozen languages have been added to the series by the Children Bilingual Books' pool of translators. Parents and grandparents alike cherish the opportunity to connect with their child through reading in their native tongue.Why is reading important to your child? Reading sparks imagination, stimulates cognitive development, boosts social skills, and increases communication proficiencies. At Children Bilingual Books, we endeavor to connect children of all ethnicities, races, cultures, and languages with the wondrous world that surrounds them. The Sophia and Alex series provides a pathway to a child's understanding of language and social interaction. Moreover, they're fun to read!

From Christmas trees to Santa Claus, to carols, lights and decorations, have you ever wondered how all these much-loved customs came about? In this book we will explore all the traditions that we associate with and enjoy over the festive holiday period and uncover some fascinating facts about the history behind them from around the world. Deeply entrenched in Western culture, we often forget what this magical time was originally celebrated for - the birth of Jesus Christ. It represents a time of peace and goodwill to all, but in modern day life this often gets lost in the big commercial merry-go-round with parties and gifts galore that it has become. Interestingly, some of the traditions we know so well actually started over 2,000 years ago before Jesus was born. So, let's walk through the mists of time and legends and explore all the captivating snippets of historical customs that have led us to where we are today.

Mit "Das Sternenmalbuch ¿ Lass deinen Stern leuchten!" feiert die Autorin ihren Berufseinstieg als Erzieherin. Es ist eine Danksagung mit 40 verschiedenen Motiven zum Ausmalen an alle Sterne, die sie zum Lächeln gebracht haben.Das Malbuch beinhaltet Malbilder aus den folgenden Werken der Autorin:¿Echard der Sternendrache¿¿Christmette ¿ das Sternenmädchen¿Außerdem Malbilder, die auf Wunsch von Kindern entstanden sind (Sterne, Sternzeichen, Tiere, Dinos, Weihnachten ...).Ein festliches und magisches Malbuch, das einen leuchtenden Einblick in die fiktive Welt des von der Autorin geschaffenen "Sterniversums" bietet."Ich erschuf ein eigenes Universum: Sterniversum. Ich kam auf Sterne, weil Sterne für mich magisch sind. Sie sind das Licht im Dunkeln und ich selbst kann ohne Nachtlicht nicht schlafen. Sterne verbinde ich mit Magie, Freude und Schönheit. Und darauf baute ich das Sterniversum auf. Ich füllte es mit verschiedenen Planeten und Göttern. Eine Welt, die ganz nach meinem ausgedachten Konzept läuft. Nach meiner Freiheit. Sterne sind unendlich und so auch das Sterniversum. Weil das Sterniversum unendlich ist, sind es auch meine Ideen." ~ Anna-Maria Ziegler

Ein einsames Mädchen, das ziellos durch die große Stadt irrt, und das niemanden hat. Ein kleiner Brunnen, aus dem das Lachen von Schmetterlingen kommt, als wäre es Frühling. Und die alte Kirche, deren Turm sich in der Nacht versteckt. Bis die Musik beginnt¿¿Das tanzende Licht¿ erzählt die Geschichte eines fantastischen Weihnachtswunders. Und es ist ein Beweis. Dafür, dass uns die Dinge berühren, die wir an unser Herz heranlassen. Dass wir uns wirklich fühlen in diesem Augenblick. Wenn wir ganz und gar wir selbst sind. Ganz und gar.»Oh, bitte verzeihen sie mir!«, ruft das Mädchen erschrocken.Mit Lippen, schmal wie ein Strich, starrt sie den Mann an. Mit dem ist sie also eben zusammengestoßen! Sie hört deutlich, wie die dünne Papiertüte in seinen Händen zerreißt. Sieht gelähmt zu, wie der Einkauf auf den Gehweg fällt.Benommen reibt sie sich mit der Hand den Schmerz fort von ihrer Stirn. In Gedanken spürt sie noch einmal den starken Aufprall. Wie grob der Stoff des Mantels gekratzt hat! Sie schüttelt sich.Mühsam ist der Fremde inzwischen in die Hocke gegangen. Hat gestöhnt dabei. Und sammelt jetzt auf, was ihm von den Dingen im Schnee noch brauchbar scheint.Sie hört sein ärgerliches Murmeln. Sieht, wie er grimmig zu ihr herauf starrt dabei.»Pass doch auf!«, versteht sie als Einziges.Aber dann, ganz jäh, richtet der Mann sich auf. Atmet geräuschvoll ein. So laut, dass sie erschrocken zurückweicht.»Ich habe es bestimmt nicht mit Absicht getan!«, flüstert sie bange.

The Last Christmas Tree is a story of putting Jesus's "golden rule" as presented in Matthew 7:12, "Therefore all things what so ever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them," into a real-life situation. Matthew, the owner of the Christmas tree lot, connects with a family in need and puts the rule into practice. He sees the needs of John and his family of four, having lost his wife recently, and he decides he can help them as he would like to be helped if the situation were reversed. In part told from the point of view of the last Christmas tree on the lot, the story progresses through the help given by Matthew with his generosity and the joy and assistance it brings to John and his family despite their recent loss. The story is intended to inspire us to treat others as we want to be treated and to help those in need when we can. Although the situation John and his family are in is sad and painful, Matthew's acts of Christian love hopefully alleviate some of the pain of mourning that the family is feeling and inspire them to go on in Christ's love.

Orthodox churches in Ukraine and Russia share a common ecclesiastical tradition but differ in their views on practicing and interpreting it. To bolster their own views, different Orthodox churches emphasize different aspects of history, and >forget< others, not favorable for their interpretations. These intentional memorizing also influence on the churches' reflection of their position and role in society at large.Interpretations of ecclesiastical tradition also influence the Orthodox churches' reactions to the other churches in Ukraine. Abroad, ecclesiastical organizations, especially ecumenical bodies are also influenced by the Ukrainian Orthodoxy, and have influence on the Ukrainian and Russian Orthodoxy, when recognizing or leaving without recognition the multiplicity of the Orthodox faith in Ukraine and Russia.
