Flying Feet.

An Aussie Nibbles from Puffin Books illustrated by Beth Norling (May 2006). Krista's 20th book.

Henry can't stop running and jumping and leaping and twirling! There must be something special he can do with his flying feet!

With its focus on tap dancing, this story will encourage both boys and girls to use their talents in the way that makes them most happy, rather than settling for a compromise just because they're good at something or because someone else thinks it's what they should do.

Chapter 1 extract.

Henry's feet never stopped moving. He was always tapping his toes, or running and jumping and leaping and twirling.

'You've got flying feet,' said his dad. 'You could be a footballer, Henry.'

So off they went to the local football club. Henry played on the red and blue team.

Henry hated football. He didn't like getting cold and wet. And he never seemed to get the ball. It was always somewhere else.
