“It’s time,” Papa said.
“I think it is,” Mama agreed.
“Time for what?” Adri asked.
Papa’s voice softened,
“To share some wisdom.”
Always be on the lookout for a new friend.
Look for beauty wherever you are, and keep the memory of it with you.
This is a story about a deep love that is shared between parents and their child. Sharing wisdom from one generation to another is so important. As parents, our hope is that our words will be embraced and stored away until they are needed. I wanted this colorful story to be a springboard that allows families to talk about memories and life lessons with their children. There is certainly no more enjoyable close to a busy day than sharing a special story with your child.
By visually seeing these simple thoughts, together with fun, lively characters, children will make a meaningful connection and understand that they, in their own way, can truly make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of those around them. They will celebrate their own uniqueness.
As adults, we get tangled up in our busy, everyday schedules, and we need to be reminded that we should be making time for ourselves and family. We should be enjoying life each and every day.
