A Book to Brighten Any Dusty Corner

With broom in hand and chores to do, Melissa ties on her dancing shoes. She curtsies to her slender partner, and the dust begins to fly. With a gay gavotte and a Highland fling, she reels into her work. Dishes clatter and kittens scatter before the flurry of her broom. Optimism lightens her humble duty, and brightens the room just as surely, as Melissa cleans the room.This book reads with a breathless exuberance, and as the pages swiftly turn, Melissah appears almost animated. Its contagious energy invites the reader to attack life with lighthearted determination.
