Summary:

Vera Williams tells of a young girl who, along with her waitress mother, saves coins in a big jar in hopes that they can someday buy a new chair for their apartment, the kind of chair her mother deserves after being on her feet all day in the Blue Tile Diner. Into the jar also goes the money Grandma saves whenever she gets a bargain at the market. There hasn’t been a comfortable place to sit in the apartment since a fire in their previous apartment burned everything to ＂charcoal and ashes.＂ Friends and neighbors brought furniture to their new apartment downstairs, but no one brought anything big or soft, or comfortable. Finally, the jar is full, the coins are rolled, and in the book’s crowning moment, mother, daughter, and Grandma search four different furniture stores, and after carefully trying several chairs, like Goldilocks, they find the chair they’ve been dreaming of at last.

Summary

This is the story of how changes happen in the world, one person, one family, one community at a time.

Kojo lives in a small town in Ghana, West of Africa. He and his mother survive by gathering and selling firewood. There is never much money or food-just enough to get by. When Kojo is given a small loan, he has an idea. He will use the money to buy a hen, so that they will have eggs to eat. Soon there are extra eggs to sell at the market. With the profits, Kojo buys more hens and eventually earns enough for his school fees. After finishing school, he gets a bigger loan and gradually builds up a poultry farm, hire workers and pay taxes that improve his community. Along the way, Kojo loans other money so that they too can leave poverty behind.

Summary:

King Leonard is so rich that he can buy whatever he wants. Anything old or broken is thrown onto the growing pile of trash outside his castle. But one day, his favorite teddy breaks that can't be easily replaced. And what's worse, King Leonard can't find anyone who knows how to fix it.

He heads home sadly. While walking, he is tripped over by toys all over the floor. King Leonard realizes he can’t keep wasting things like that, so he starts searching for ways to repair them. And finally, he repairs almost everything and his beloved teddy.

李歐納國王是個愛隨手亂丟東西的國王，玩具壞了他就丟到窗外，電視壞了他就叫僕人再買一台新的，甚至食物吃一口就不吃了…城堡不僅被他弄的亂七八糟，連城外也堆滿了看起來很新的玩具。

直到有一天，李歐納國王最心愛的泰迪熊脫線了，棉花也漏了出來。李歐納國王好難過，他抱著泰迪熊到鎮上尋找能縫合玩偶的店家，卻發現大家都只會製造新商品，沒有人會做維修的工作。

失望的李歐納國王抱著泰迪熊回到了城堡，走著走著被滿地的玩具絆倒，這時他突然領悟，自己不應該這樣浪費資源，於是他收起地上的吉他，以及其他被隨手亂丟的東西，開始搜尋修補它們的方法，而最後，泰迪熊也修好了!

作者藉由李歐納國王心愛的泰迪熊，傳達給讀者重複使用和循環利用東西比扔掉它們更重要，也更有價值。
