Marvelous!

Have you ever wanted to fly? To not have to drag around this body but to have wings that can carry you above the trees, flying in the breeze, into the sunshine and to the waters? Marva enjoys life as a worm. Daily he crawls on the ground searching for food and finding adventure along the way. But one morning he awakens from a dream that seems more real than his life as a worm. In it he soars through the air, high above the trees and lakes. But how is it possible for a worm to have wings? In pursuit of a vision that seems impossible, Marva asks other creatures how they fly through the air, only to be mocked and scolded for his desire to have wings. No one but the Great Willow, the oldest and wisest creature in the land, understands his longing. In this poignant tale by Joanna Susan Sparks, one little creature begins life as Marva but ends his journey as Marvelous! Personalized with hope-filled promises, the story of Marvelous! echoes the great story of transformation for anyone willing to believe more in the light than in darkness, more in hope than in pain.
