He also finds, what we all want to see for our children, true friendship. The child in the story shows so much compassion for the little snowman that it teaches children how to care about others no matter their condition. I felt so moved by this story written by Marilee Joy Mayfield that I wanted to share it not only with the readers of my blog, but with the special families here on Kidz.
I would love to share this book with a special family, and thanks to the generosity of Leaping Antelope Productions and the author, I have one copy to giveaway. To enter, leave a comment here telling us what dream your child is trying to reach and how you are encouraging those dreams.

Right now my oldest son is almost four.. so his dreams are mostly of getting what he wants for Christmas. I am pretty sure I can make those dreams happen.
Other than that I think he would like to learn to read, so we will start on that in the new year!

Although Haley is only 5, she often watches "Dancing with the Stars" and tells me often that she dreams and wishes she could be on that show. She often dances, and sings as well! I try to encourage her that she can do anything that she wants to do in life, as long as she puts her mind to it.
