Thaddeus of Warsaw explores the conflict between national loyalty and personal transformation during a time of upheaval and resistance. Set within the emotional and political turmoil of a nation facing external domination, the narrative elevates ideals of self-sacrifice, moral integrity, and the responsibility of legacy. It examines how individuals shaped by ancestral valor confront changing political landscapes, often having to reconcile inherited values with shifting realities. The story emphasizes quiet strength over spectacle, drawing attention to the personal cost of serving a cause greater than oneself. It suggests that true heroism lies not in victory alone, but in steadfast belief, honor, and the ability to endure loss without compromising one's principles. Against the backdrop of threatened sovereignty, the novel presents internal growth as essential to national identity. Through measured action and reflection, the protagonist becomes a vessel through which history, memory, and duty converge - demonstrating how private character can echo collective struggle and define the path forward through crisis.

Bob the elephant follows his friend's advice for letting go of stage fright in a sweet, encouraging story that will appeal to any child who experiences anxiety. In the heart of the forest, everyone is getting ready for the big show. Everyone but Bob the elephant. Bob longs to sing on stage, but it's impossible--he's just too nervous. Whenever he tries, his ears get hot, his trunk feels tangled, and nothing but a tiny squeak pops out. When his friend Paloma, the ukulele-playing pangolin, shares her secret, Bob agrees to perform. But at the very last minute a minor disaster strikes and he can't go on. Until, that is, he remembers Paloma's secret--and how much he'd like to give her something in return. From the award-winning author of The Boy Who Loved Everyone, a story of overcoming your nerves and finding your voice.

Her 1810 work The Scottish Chiefs, about William Wallace, one of the earliest examples of the historical novel, was very successful and the French version was banned by Napoleon. It has remained popular with Scottish children.
