Shiny Black Tap Shoes

A story about a child's journey to regain her confidence. Although this is about a little girl's "stage fright", it could easily be a about the trauma of any child's strike out, missed goal, an unstable Lego build or a recital's wrong note. Every child needs a "one someone special" while growing up. See how our "little star" and her Dad's unconditional love and support turned things around.

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. Curtain Up!

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!!
