In our home, Lesley and Sophie's names are spoken of often.  Our oldest son Logan was born at 24 weeks and spent 100 days in Neo Natal.  Lesley was our angel.  She left me notes when I had missed exciting milestones, she took photos of Logan during night shift and left them for me in the mornings, she made me a special corner by his incubator with the welcoming red lazy boy chair.  She is my angel.  Sophie’s Legacy is a heart-breaking story, about a beautiful, intelligent, bubbly girl who died at the hands of a monster.  Taking the courage to write  this book and the strength to start the Sophie Elliott Foundation in the hope of saving wonderful girls like Sophie in the future is important in raising awareness against violence to young women.  It is a book every mother and daughter should read and is a wonderful tribute to Sophie.

 

How people Lived – Jim Pipe

This book gives a snapshot of how people have lived through the ages – from cave dwellers right through to today’s high-tech societies.  Kids will love the illustrations, they have so much fun detail and interesting information that will capture their imagination and take them back in time.  Fantastic!
