“One, two, right foot, left foot, turn and twist.” Emory couldn’t wait for the day of her big dance recital. She loved dancing and imagined all the fun she would have dancing and making the right moves. Her family and friends and all the other people would be watching. Everything would be perfect. But one day, something strange happened, and Emory got scared. Will she make it to the recital? Will she remember all the steps and get them right?
Like dancing, life is about twists and turns; sometimes, we make mistakes and miss a beat. It’s important to teach our kids what to do when this happens, when they are afraid, lose their confidence, and face stressful situations. These are valuable life lessons for our children to learn from early. They will enjoy reading Emory’s Big Dance as they discover how to persevere, rebuild their confidence, pray, and affirm who they truly are. This delightful story in simple language makes it easy and fun for kids of every age to understand each lesson and put it into action.
