Based on a true story, Mr. Gauguin’s Heart is about the birth of imagination and the solace of art. Young Paul Gauguin sailed from Denmark to Peru with his family: his mother, his father, his sister, Marie, and his odd-looking, imaginary orange dog. At first being on the boat was fun; he loved to walk his dog on the ship’s bridge. Then one day, Paul found his mother in tears; his father had died. When the ship docked, Paul refused to leave. Then an old man took him by the hand and in a few brush strokes, he had stirred a passion that lay just beneath the boy’s surface. He had shown Paul how to paint, but, more than that, he taught him how to bring his memories to life. Mr. Gauguin’s Heart is a charming and heartwarming story of how, as a boy, Paul Gauguin learned to channel his grief from the death of his father and pour it into his first painting — one that would pave the way to many masterpieces.

Fred loves it when his grandmother comes to town from Vancouver-she brings so many presents and so much fun, it's like Christmas, Easter, his birthday and Halloween all in one. When she comes to help Fred's family fix up their fish market, Fred's cat Rick follows her around so closely she mistakes him for a guard dog. When Rick tears open Fred's parents' waterbed, however, the cat finds himself in the doghouse. But Rick's reaction when robbers break into the newly renovated market saves the day-and saves himself. Fred and the Flood is a hilarious, action-packed story about a pet that redeems himself, and brings a family closer together at the same time.
