Adam feels alone in the strange new city. He misses the colors and friendships of his faraway home. Everything in the city looks gray and deserted until one morning he awoke and everything was white. He looked out of his window and saw some children building a snowman. He starts to building an elephant and a friendship begins when they all began to build snow animals like in his homeland. When Adam starts school, his teacher gives him some seeds...

Stubby was a brave soldier, a loyal friend and a dog. From an army training camp to the trenches in France, this is the incredible true story of Sergeant Stubby, the dog who served bravely in the First World War, sniffing out gas attacks, catching spies and winning the hearts of his fellow soldiers.

Living in ruin and rubble with a wire fence and soldiers separating him from the cool hills where his father used to take him as a small child, a boy's tiny, green plant shoot gives him hope in a bleak landscape.

Written when the author was ten years old, tells of a dog and a boy who are both lonely until they are included by others.
