The Dancing Darlings is the first book from The Little Darlings series. It tells the story of a pair of dance-loving siblings as their evening at the Darling Village dance takes a silly and unexpected turn, with their parents out looking for them in the forest. This fun and colourful story is designed to expose small children to empathy – how their actions, even unintentional ones, can influence how others feel – all while creating a positive atmosphere where they can laugh at the silliness of the whole adventure.
