It will take you an afternoon to read through this book. In this story there are sentences that will stay with you forever.
That's how it was for me anyway.

ps thanks for the book hint- I need a new book!
:) it's from the children's lit section, my most favorite place to find beautiful phrases.
some afternoons you can only dance. it just has to come out, ya know? and why not throw on a twirly skirt while at it...
i HEART that book so much!
i read it to my 4th grade class once and we thought it was very cool. each afternoon, i used it as a classroom management tool...i would sigh and say, "i hope we have time to read our book..." and everyone would stay on task. hee!
you make me want to go back and read it again!
