Liana And The Magic Silver Coin

mails4joshua_174083 — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 15:10:00 +0000

A fascinating fantasy tale of mystery and how one deed of kindness changed the course of a little girl's life from poverty to prosperity and riches. Her experience is a classic illustration of how society despises the poor and oppressed and of the abuses they must undergo at the hands of reality's cold, unforgiving hands.

Little Fairy and the Magic Paints

TeresaMaria — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 22:38:49 +0000

Sharing is one of the hardest things our children learn through the growing years. In The Summer of Sharing, we see Little Fairy refuse to share her paints with Magnolia Fairy, and then feel the consequences of this behaviour. This simple adventure in sharing leads Little Fairy to the magical conclusion that illustrates the inherently generous nature of all children.
