Happy Stories for my Circle of Friends is a collection of
delightful poems and short stories for children. The content is
presented in English and Spanish. The artwork that appears in this
book was illustrated by the precious children of Circulo Andante -
Youth with a Mission, Tijuana, Mexico. Circulo Andante, or the
Walking Circle, is a children's ministry through YWAM San
Diego/Baja in northern Mexico. Their vision is to promote
well-rounded children through Christ-centered academic education.
This ministry helps children strengthen their academic skills in a
safe and loving learning environment. Their desire is to motivate
the children to stay in school, to teach them that they are
intelligent and valued in the eyes of God. In the spirit of
expanding and deepening their mission, Circulo Andante is
developing a mobile library program in Mexican communities where
the average child does not have a single reading book at their
house. This library program will provide a large selection of
literature to the eager young minds of this ministry. The funds
that are raised through the sale of this book will go directly to
purchase and outfit the mobile library trailers, as well as expand
the reading material that is offered in this library.
