I believe that girls of all ages can enjoy that special relationship with their Heavenly Father if they will accept Him as their own. Then we can take His hands, follow His lead, and learn to dance by His grace. If we come to Him like a little girl comes to her daddy, with hearts wide open, He will teach us to dance the dances that He has chosen for each of our lives. I hope all little girls can learn to dance on their daddy's shoes like the little girl in this story Learning to dance and following our daddy's lead also serves as a metaphor for our relationship with our Heavenly Father. I wanted dance with him too because I was a daddy's girl through and through.

My mom used to tell about what a good dancer my dad was and how she loved to dance with him. This book was born from the sweet memories that I had of learning to dance on my own daddy's shoes.
