The Song In Her Heart: A Free Printable Picture Book About Getting Back Up

Lili fell, and fell again, and sat very still and did not even try. Then she remembered why she started.

Lili the lamb hears music wherever she goes, a song that lives inside her, and it makes her dance. When she asks to learn ballet, Madame Colette tells her the truth: ballet is not twirling and pretty ribbons, it takes practice, patience, and showing up even when it is hard. So Lili practices. At the market, on the bridge, at the fountain. Again, and again, and always again. Some days her feet feel like feathers and some days like stones. Some days she dances beautifully and some days she falls right down, until one hard fall stops her cold. It is the memory of why she loved it, the song that was always hers, that brings her back to her feet.

Talent is not what keeps a child going. Love is. This book is for the one who has fallen at the thing they wanted most and needs to hear the truest reason to try again, not because they are the best, but because it is theirs. And once a heart learns its own song, it never quite forgets the way back.
