Shiny Black Tap Shoes

Who was your "one someone special" when
you were growing up? Did they then and do they
still walk beside you shining light on your path?

Although this is about a little girl's "stage fright",
it could easily be about the trauma of any
child's strike out, missed goal, an unstable
Lego build or a recital's wrong note.

As children we experience the pure joy of
succeeding and the devastating pain of failing.

See how our "little star" and her Dad's
unconditional love and support
turn things around.

About the Author

A sister to three younger brothers,
a mom to a son and daughter, and a grammy to
Caleb and Kylie. A teacher of Language Arts,
Theatre Arts and Dance. It would appear that I
have completed the "natural order" cycle of life!

While teaching, I witnessed daily the joys
and pains of being a child. With my propensity
for silly, laughter, hugs and most importantly,
the ability to listen, I learned to help the child
endure and heal.

I'm excited about writing positive material
along with heartwarming illustrations dealing
with common childhood experiences that can
enrich or forever alter a child's life.

My first book, Red Rubber Boots, was the exclamation
point at the end of my "natural order" cycle of life.

This book is a Second! There can never be too many
to express my joy and excitement!!
