Excerpt from The Book: "The Singing Kindergartener."

Once there was a kindergarten boy named Billy who loved to sing songs. He sang in the shower, he sang in the car, and in the grocery store, Billy's favorite songs were the ones about animals, and he would often make up his own songs about the things he saw around him. One day, Billy's class was going on a field trip to the zoo.Billy was so excited that he could barely sleep the night before. When he woke up the next morning, he sang a song about all the animals he was going to see. At the zoo, Billy had a great time. He saw lions, tigers, elephants, and monkeys.He even got to pet a giraffe, Billy sang songs all day long, and he made everyone in his class smile. When it was time to go home, Billy was sad to leave the zoo. But he knew that he would be back soon, and he could hardly wait to sing more songs about all the animals he had seen.Billy's love of singing continued to grow as he got older. He joined the choir in school and sang in many concerts. He even went on to study music in college. Billy never stopped loving to sing, and he always found joy in sharing his music with others.
