So (I've come to rely on "so" to begin "in medias res" -- as if the use of that word will turn my informal paragraphs into an epic), I decided to escape from the world of "the most evil women" and pick up a kids' book that I bought during a recent one-day escape from burdens.

Nicely read and sweet song sung by Bernadette Peters. It is a reassuring book to share with a nervous young child. Great message to be yourself.

Good message (be yourself), but I think there are other books with that message and the dancing theme that hit the mark with more accuracy.
