Spring is Coming, Jesse! Jane Hurley

Adorable Jesse dog enjoys a variety of visitors as he sits in his garden, and has the pleasure of helping these animal friends in gently surprising ways. Good friendships and relationships are the building blocks of a happy home and a safe environment, and we all want these for our children and grandchildren. This book is about friendships and kindness. It is about allowing time for others, and about including others who are not happy to be on their own. It is an excellent conversation starter for the issue of loneliness, which is a growing modern day problem. Here we see how inclusion and time-giving bring their own rewards, but also added valuable returns as a bonus, perhaps to the point of survival. It is also about having faith in oneself, about unseen, quiet forgiveness and about waiting patiently for others while they develop maturity in relationships. The story, of course, can be simply enjoyed for its own sake as well!Age range 4-8, but some younger people will easily appreciate this charming story with its beautiful illustrations, and much older children will enjoy the sweet and gentle characters. In memory of Jesse. Thank you boy for the happy times. Jane Hurley is a wife and mother, christian, nurse and animal lover, who lives in Wales by the sea.
