This book was written for a simple reason-to mark a little girl turning ten. Inside are seven stories, each carrying a bit of love, imagination, and quiet lessons, written for her and others like her - Little people, eager to take on the world with fierce independence, yet reaching for the soft, steadying hand of a parent along the way. As she grows, these stories can stay with her-something to come back to, a reminder of who she is, who she's becoming, and the courage that already lies within her.
