Miss Lily, the Crown and the Dance is a 32 page, full color, glossy, hard bound children's book measuring 8" x 11".
This children’s storybook is a parable-legend set at  
Christmastime in an actual place in time—Independence, Kansas
Riverside Park and Zoo. The story transcends any geographical
boundaries and is truly a universal story that can be read to
children and read by children and adults. The themes that are woven
through the book are the “common good,” sharing of gifts, charity
toward others and a joining of hands to help radiate light into our
world. It is a storybook that speaks to the spirit that every human
being has worth and that “everyone should be included in the dance of
life and truly present at it’s table. ”The animals in the story are
bestowed with human characteristics and personalities so as the
readers can relate to them —a kind of “Narnia.” Miss Lily, the pink
swan and Old Cranberry, the elderly muscovy duck mentor are the two
main characters. Miss Lily goes through a transformation from being
self-centered to serving the other birds on Bird Island. The last
two pages of the book show the golden light of Heaven
and the golden light from earth kiss. At the same time, the
children’s colorful birthday candles ignite and blaze from the
sharing act. Unity in the community, young and old, all races, one
shared humanity. This is the message of Miss Lily, the Crown and the

Dance—Love wins…
