DanSing Pancakes' Healthy Choices Musical Story

by Joe Coleman, Aubrey Morgan Foster (Illustrator), Tracy Foster Pyke (Illustrator)

Overview

"I was so excited to see your book. I wanted to tell you about a little boy I read it to in the play therapy room. His mother, who has struggled with addiction and is on the verge of losing him, was in the lobby. He sang [your] song until he memorized it. He then went out to the lobby, got down on his knees in front of his mother seated in a chair, and sang it to her and made her sing it with him. Joe, it was quite honestly one of the most moving things this old therapist has seen in 30 years. So that is [the impact] of your book through the eyes of a little boy who dearly loves his mother. I wish you all the blessings in the world. Thank you for sharing the book with me."
