"Brrr…. Autumn is here. The winds are cold and strong! It’s time for the blue canaries to fly south where it’s warmer. It’s Little Canary’s first time to travel. They are all going to fly when the sun sets. What if he gets left behind?"
Which Way is South?
"It is finally time to fly. Little Canary stays close to his mother. But what is that? Little Canary swerves and chases after it. Just then, Mother calls out. He was almost left behind!"
Which Way is South?
"The birds carry on their journey. Hey, what’s that? Mmm, those berries look delicious! Mother is busy with Little Canary’s brothers and sisters. Perhaps, Little Canary can quickly just grab a few berries."
Which Way is South?
"Little Canary dives down. These berries are delightful. There are still many more! How wonderful not to have to share with his brothers and sisters."
Which Way is South?
"Fly, fly, to the south we fly To places warm and cozy Fly, fly, fly in the sky To the … the sunset you’ll see. Is it to the right or left? Little Canary cannot recall. Left? Right?"
Which Way is South?
"The flock of blue canaries continues their journey, singing: Fly, fly, to the south we fly To places warm and cozy Fly, fly, fly in the sky To the right the sunset you’ll see. And when it gets a little too dark Little Bear will make its mark Fly away from its shimmering tail Fly on south you will not fail."
Which Way is South?
"Indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea) or the blue canary, are birds that live in eastern United States and southern Canada. Male birds have bright blue feathers, and the females are brown. In the winter, the males lose their blue plumage and resemble the brown females, although a little bit of blue remains. Every autumn, the birds migrate to Mexico and to southern United States. They navigate with the rotation of the Polaris star of the Ursa Minor constellation (also known as Little Bear). Polaris lies at the end of the bear’s tail and is also known as the North Pole Star. It indicates the direction to the north pole and is always seen in the northern hemisphere. Light pollution from excessive artificial light in urban areas, makes it hard to see stars in the sky at night. This has a negative impact on nature, including obstructing bird migration. It is also evidence of electric energy waste."

"But Botom’s parents ran in and told her to stop. “The poor elephant!” her mother cried. “He must be starving and lost.” Her father agreed. “We should be friends to this elephant. We will call him Sakor.”"
The Elephant in My House
"Botom was envious of how much attention and good food her parents gave to Sakor."

"One morning, Botom wanted a guava to take to school. But she could not reach them! The young elephant reached up with his trunk and picked one for her."

The Elephant in My House

"Sarah brought a gift for Reta. “Wow, this is a souvenir from Riedau Canal!" Reta says. "This is where tourists can do boat-riding, fishing, and skiing." Sarah does not expect that reaction. How does Reta know?"
The Great Teacher
""Salt, warm water, and milk are all good for soothing a burnt tongue. My teacher told me that," says Reta. Hm… she’s right! The burning sensation is instantly gone. "Your teacher is smart," Sarah tells Reta."
The Great Teacher
"Later that day, Reta and Sarah go shopping. Reta brings along a shopping bag with her. "My teacher told me that this is one way to reduce the use of plastic," she tells Sarah. Sarah wants to get to know Reta’s teacher."
The Great Teacher
"Yay! Sarah gets to go with Reta to study in her teacher’s house. No registration and no cost. That is easy! But what is that broom for?"
The Great Teacher
"On their way, Sarah and Reta meet other children. They are all going to study. They also bring cleaning tools. Reta says her teacher cannot clean her house by herself."
The Great Teacher
"Wow! Some children are studying math, some are studying English, and some science. Sarah thinks it is a great way to learn."
The Great Teacher
"Reta's teacher is inspired by a woman named Een Sukaesih, often known as Bu Een. Bu Een graduated from the Indonesian University of Education in Bandung. She suffered from a disease called Rheumatoid Arthritis, which made her immobile for 27 years. Being persistent, Bu Een kept teaching while laying down, from 8 am to 8 pm. She taught English, history, computers, and math. Any child who wanted to learn was welcomed. Her students loved her so much so they all helped her with chores after their learning was done for the day."
The Great Teacher
"“Let’s place this statue in a temple in the village. Eventually, we’ll build a separate temple for Lord Shiva and worship him. There can be no harm in a village that is protected by none other than Lord Mahadev himself,” the village headman said."
