Shy duck who loves to dance! I love to dance! Korwyn loves to dance! We just have to be selective about our dancing situations! Shyness can overwhelm the things we love to do! Boldness can bring out our freedom!
"I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; before the gods I will sing your praise. I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted." - Psalm 138:1-3
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven...a time to mourn and a time to dance...a time to embrace and a time to refrain..."- Ecclesiastes 3: 1,4b,5b

Nothing To Do by Douglas Wood; illus by Wendy Anderson Halperin
We are not "human doings" :) according to this author in the author's note. Love it!! This book is amazing especially illustrating growing through experiences that often are not achieving what the world would acclaim, something it would describe as "nothing". This is one of those little reminders to look at everything that a book offers especially the illustrator's notes. The message is beautifully communicated and is perfect to bring up:
"Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth." -Psalm 46:10
and discussions on how the busy-ness of American culture can rob us of the worship of doing nothing!

wish, change, friend by Ian Whybrow
Precious book about change in life and meeting new friends!
Change in life is challenging and often hard to say:) The pig in this story learns how wish and experiencing change can hold limitless relational wonders!
Another book, The Bible, holds God's wishes for us, will guide us through much change as He changes us, and will guide us to fellowship with other friends but most importantly the Ultimate Friend in Christ.
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword. It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight." -Hebrews 4:12-13
"You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other." - John 15:14-17

Tell Me About Your Day Today by Mem Fox
This story has the potential to begin a great tradition in a family! This boy has a special outlook on life as well as special interactions with his "friends". Shows how sharing our adventures and becoming intertwined with one another can make a bigger story and we can be a part of something that is more than ourselves if we use our imagination and engage.
