In the times we are living in, we all need to be more aware that we shouldn’t be focusing on differences, but rather on how we are alike. Most children dream of the magical man in the red suit who visits them with gifts during the holidays in December. However, some children may worry that Santa may not know what they’d like because they have difficulty communicating.

Come take a walk with me! As we stroll through a field of soft green clover, we stumble upon a daisy. She stands out; her graceful white petals frame her golden center. As she sways in the wind, we see ourselves, as we too are tousled about. Life can make us anxious. Life can make us worry. Days can be sunny, and days can be stormy. But we can find calm and peace even in the whirlwind that every new day brings. The daisy teaches us everything we need to know: in the morning when we wake, in the darkest of nights, and in all the storms of life, we can have hope, peace, and trust.

SHEB: The Woolly Mammoth

SHEB: The Woolly Mammoth describes silly theories about how mammoth bones got to the island of Capri.

One “scholar” proposed mammoths arrived via Noah’s Ark. Another theorized that Capri mammoths weren’t woolly at all; rather, they swam over since they were covered with down and had webbed feet. And a third scholar proposed a “Dumboesque” theory, envisioning that mammoths flew by flapping oversized ears.

Given the ending developed by the two children, the story could possibly be categorized as “historical fiction.” Mammoth bones were discovered on Capri early in the 20th century, and the accepted theory matches the one offered by the children.
