In a world which tends to reinforce conformity rather than being different, the story of Brody the Boxer AKA Hollywood teaches children that it's OK to be different, important to be kind and that there are solutions to challenges. Brody the Boxer was adopted by a kind man named Richard when he was just 6 weeks old. He has led the typical life of a family pet in some ways, but in other ways he has also had more interesting types of adventures and outings than some other dogs. Brody is a very popular dog, and much more well known around his hometown than a lot of other dogs. Not only is he famous on Facebook, but he has proven, thanks to the kindness of others that there are ways to deal with unexpected challenges....like his Degenerative Myelopathy. Brody's back legs no longer work, but with his own special doggy wheelchair and roller skates, he still gets to enjoy all the same kinds of things he did before he developed this disease. Brody is a very special dog who wins the hearts of children, adults and other dogs as well. Children may be surprised by some of the things they learn about him in this introductory book. Like that he got married or likes to help with the grocery shopping.We hope that meeting Brody and following his adventures will teach children that it's OK to be different and that we should accept and be respectful of individual differences - knowing that deep down inside - we're really all the same.

Before 1940, Nathan Shapow, a young Latvian, had nothing more on his mind than enjoying his teenage years and becoming a champion boxer. But the Nazis' systematic extermination of the Jews quickly put paid to his dreams. Soon he was to face a different sort of fight, where the prize for victory would be his life. Escaping certain death time and time again, Shapow saw his youth disappear in the terror of the Ghettos and the horror of the camps. Fighting for his very existence for the simple reason of being Jewish, remarkably, he survived, fell in love and forged a new life in what was then British-controlled Palestine. There, he joined an underground military organisation and quickly became involved in the struggle to create a Jewish state. Extraordinary and powerful, The Boxer's Story is the inspiring true story of one man's enduring fortitude.
