Caregivers, Teachers, and Parents have so much to teach to our children and sometimes we forget to discuss some important subjects in life such as paying it forward. This type of lesson involves kindness, how to treat others and helping others. Helping others does not only help the world become a better place but also it helps to build endorphins, which means it makes your brain create happy hormones! By learning the lessons taught in the book and following the examples, the reader will learn to lead and strive to help others in need and learn happiness. A Step in the Magical Woodlands is not just a book full of valuable lessons. The book is an adventure, fun filled, heartwarming magical journey. Silly sound effects and fun dialogue with a satisfying storyline.

Throughout many years she spent working with families, animals and of course children... as well as having a family of her own... Elizabeth wanted to spread valuable lessons that she believes are important for children. She also strongly believes there should be time to allow imaginations to run free... and so A Step in the Magical Woodlands was created.

"Just pay it forward, that means doing something for someone else because you care. Don't worry about paying me back. Pay someone else help that may need it. Just do it out of kindness," Griff said.

"Well, I can do that! Buzz... Buzz... I will tell the forest and the land to help pay it forward as well! I will let them know of the kindness.

Farewell," said the bumble bee. page 10
