For Children

Mama, Do You Love Me? (DVF-301) is the story of a little Inuit girl who asks her mother the question.

An “oldie but goodie” is The Promise (VCF-226). When an 11-year-old girl discovers that her horse is being sold, her father promises to take her for a last ride. When circumstances cause him to break his promise, the girl learns that she has to trust and forgive her father.
