Elizabeth's Dream - Ruth Mercy Woroniecki - Bog

Elizabeth's Dream is a delightful story about a little girl who has always dreamt of being a beautiful ballerina and dancing on her toes. She works hard to dance, learn and train to make her dream come true. But along her journey, she sees other little girls who are sad, hurting, and left out. Elizabeth comes to realize that she can give them a dream by including and caring about them. She begins to teach them things and works to make them happy. "No matter what we each deal with on the outside, we can all dance on the inside and hear the music of our heart." The story reaches its impactful conclusion when Elizabeth realizes that making their dreams come true is even better than fulfilling her own; she receives more than she ever dreamed when her dream becomes to give.
This beautifully illustrated and wonderfully written tale teaches children the importance of caring about others, with an emphasis placed on making an effort to include those who may be handicapped or different. A beautiful and inspiring story for kids, and kids at heart, Elizabeth's Dream is perfect to read aloud or for children to read to themselves. Also available in Portuguese. Coming soon in Spanish.
