Special Note: This reading is dedicated to one of the most imaginative princesses I know; Aura Faith. Like many children across the world, Aura is scared and confused, about so much of what is happening. I'm hoping that this story will remind her and any other Shoestring Storytime squad members that there is one incredible tool that each and every one of us has that can help us deal with fear. In case you can't think of it, it's imagination. Like Amy, the main character in “Pirate Princess”, each of us is capable of becoming anyone or anything anywhere at any time simply by believing that we can. Amy's dream is to be a pirate princess - what would you be and where would you go? Shoestring Storytime has created this page that can be downloaded and either printed or imported to a digital drawing program so that you can draw the answer to the question. Not an artist? Have no fear - we have also created a page where you can write down or type out the answer to the question. Don't hold back and be sure to use the most powerful tool in the world: I-M-A-G-I-N-A-T-I-O-N 
Email your completed drawing or writing to ​shoestring.squad38@gmail.com or message it Shoestring Storytime at ​m.me/ShoestringStorytime to be entered into a raffle to have your creation featured on Facebook, Twitter and here on the blog AND have a reading dedicated to you in an upcoming Shoestring Storytime video.

Becoming Brave: How Little Buffalo Finds Courage by Jed Jurchenko



Book Title: Becoming Brave: How Little Buffalo Finds Courage
Author: Jed Jurchenko
Illustrator: Nina Mkhoiani
Read By: MJ Purk 
Publisher: Independent Publisher
Copyright: August 3, 2018

ISBN: 171796320X
ASIN: B07G5CZH2F

Links to Purchase Becoming Brave: How Little Buffalo Finds Courage by Jed Jurchenko:
Special Note: This reading is dedicated to a tiny warrior named Finn, Finn embodies the mantra that Father Buffalo encourages Little Buffalo to remember; he is courageous and strong in the face of the storm. Finn's storm is not the kind with literal rain, wind, thunder, and lightning but it is the kind that comes out of nowhere, shakes the very earth his devoted family stands upon, and leaves them shivering in the cold of shadows of unanswered questions. Whether you are facing the ravages of a true weather-related storm or more of a mental or physical storm, if you feel like the bottom is about to fall out of your lifeboat, or your parachute won't open, remember that bravery is simply believing in yourself, having the courage to run into the storm and being strong enough to push through to see the rainbow that's waiting for you to arrive. As our dear friends over at Jadon's Hope Foundation say, "life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain". So if you are like tiny Finn or have lived a long life like the big oak tree in my grandparent's yard, prepare to face the storm and dance.
