Sun and his dog, Shiro, love to explore together, spending their days savoring the beauty of the outdoors. This book follows them into the forest in search of delicious, shiny red apples that grow during the fall season. Along the way they meet a curious little creature called Polka-Dot Snake - a slithering friend who happens to love apples even more than them. The problem is, he's eating too many of them, and too fast. At its core, Sun and Shiro and the Polka-Dot Snake is about more than apples. It is a charming tale of friendship that consequently educates young readers about healthy eating without pointing a moral finger.

Adding. Extending. Transforming. Upgrade breathes new life into forgotten architecture. Past structures are consciously preserved and revamped, expanded and altered, to create something exciting and enticing. Upgrade explores architectural and design concepts that seek to enhance and repurpose our surroundings from slight changes to complete renovations. Extensions upon a rooftop. Factories turned into relaxing retreats. Wood additions contrasting with antique brick exteriors. Through engaging anecdotes and inspiriting images, Upgrade provides vibrant exemplars and enthusiasm for revamping existing spaces. Repurposing the unused: be it an empty chapel that becomes an inviting writer s nook or a rotten barn converted into a cozy living space for a small family. The projects illustrate the possibility of adding a touch of the new to the old: farmhouses adorned with modern glass additions or churches whose traditional lines now frame an office. What are ruins to some become another's architectural playground
