"Being Yourself" from the The Willowbee Tree collection
This week's featured story comes from the The Willowbee Tree collection. It's called "Being Yourself." It is summertime, and the Willowbee children are enjoying a visit from their cousins. Piper and Little Ty love how their cousins like to play rowdy, noisy games, but Clancy does not. He tries to be more like the others, but it is difficult and tiring. When the willow tree takes him to the Galapagos Islands and introduces him to the many strange and unique animals there, Clancy learns the value of being himself.
