The Turning of the Year is a short story collection that looks at each of the twelve months as separate and special. These stories are both down-to-earth and optimistic, based on author Jim Crompton's observations from forty years spent teaching, as well as watching nine grandchildren and a great-grandson. Each tale covers a wide range of challenges faced by children and young people today. Read of the autistic boy who comes to terms with a New Year's celebration. A brother and sister come to realize that a scary witch is in fact a caring young woman with a disability. There are tales of bullies, the culture shock of moving to a new country, and a slow recovery from illness. The Turning of the Year looks at and celebrates responses to a diverse spectrum of challenges. Each chapter embraces the turning seasons and the joy that each month and each kind of weather can bring. Crompton shares a message of faith and hope, applauding the unnoticed bravery and kindness inherent in us all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Crompton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1665598905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781665598903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Jim Crompton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073959620863,"sku":"9781665598903","price":31.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8536883-2140-4b32-8d0d-93bff6728032.jpg?v=1685450938","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-turning-of-the-year-jim-crompton-9781665598903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
