Scaredy Squirrel

I just found the most darling children's book...its called Scaredy Squirrel and its about a phobic squirrel who won't leave his tree. But, one day he has an unexpected fall and ends up finding out he's a flying squirrel. In the end, he still stays in his safe tree most of the day - but he does "jump into the unknown" once a day.

James and I loved it so much we ended up making a little play - we turned the ladder into the tree and he acted out the book. He even made a playbill, tickets, and all the props. I think Ridi and Ben were given tickets to sit in seats A and B in the "Upper Bunk."

I am learning to do links - but try this and you will find a hearty throat clearing in the video clip of James' Opening Night...
