  • The Little Red Hen
    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother. Life has its ups and downs, but there’s always lots of love. Ages 4-7

Barbara! Between Maddy, Ben and Anna, and Zach's wonderful toast...how are you??? What I mean is, Has anyone been able to pull you down from the ceiling yet? *smiles*

You have every reason to be deeply proud Mama! You are wonderfully blessed. :)

Wow! I thought I would just listen for a moment to hear her voice, but I was drawn into the song BY her voice. What a lovely and talented young lady you and your husband have produced!

Congratulations, Maddy!!

What can I say? I have waited five years to hear Maddy sing. It was well worth the wait. I am so proud of you, Maddy! You allow God's gift to shine in such a lovely way. I would have cried had I been there :). Thank you for putting this on Momma!

That was fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing with us! God bless you and your family.

This clip is nice, but because of the loss in recording and playback, it does not do her justice. She is incredible to hear in person. She has one of the most beautiful voices I ever heard. We have the privilege of hearing her in church. Thank you for sharing your gift, Maddy.

Maddy,

We loved hearing your song by Leonard Cohen. You sang with your heart and did a wonderful job. Follow your dreams. God has blessed you and your family.
BTW....We attended the same church in Marin County and were neighbors in Novato, California. Say, "Hi" to your folks and thank your Dad for doing such a great job trimming our trees. We are now retired and living on Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.

Blessings to all,
Joyce and J.D. Caven
