The Little Lame Prince



Where would you go if you had a traveling cloak? 

Julia (10): "The Himalayas. It would be a breathtaking, amazing, beautiful adventure."

Gabe (8): "I would go to Michael Jordan's house and get his autograph on my golfing card of him." 

Evy (5): "I would fly to the North Pole to see Santa!"

If your legs were lame, how do you think you would feel when seeing (for the first time) other kids run and play? 

Julia: "I would feel envious, a bit sad, but try to think positively." 

Gabe: "Maybe I wouldn't want to see them. Because I want to play basketball, soccer, and jump on the tramp. I would also be happy for them. Because anyone would deserve that." 

Evy: "Sad, because I wouldn't get to play and have fun and walk anywhere." 

Mom's Notes: This book was from Grandma Julie's bookshelf, which I grabbed because I remember Mom mentioned it. Sure enough, it's a very sweet, simple story that can be much deeper when you ponder it. I especially treasured the part about the prince forgiving his uncle.
