Sometimes the answer isn't to be the rock in the river, letting the water wash over you. Sometimes the answer is to be the leaf, floating down the stream and rolling with the constant change that is life. Won't Stop Moving is designed to help you remember the lessons that you have forgotten to remember. This book gives you the opportunity to remind yourself of what you already know, deep in your soul. You can't stop moving, and you won't stop moving, growing and evolving. This is an oracle book. It works like oracle cards, but rather than shuffling, turn to the page number you're called to, and receive a message that you are ready to learn or remember. Or read the book sequentially. Or front to back, back to front, inside out or outside in. Read it upside down if you want, but I wouldn't recommend it. You choose. You will be called to the lessons you need. Trust the process. Trust your instincts.

Meet Agnes Baden-Powell, the clever girl who grew up to be the talented and energetic first president of the Girl Guides! Learn about her family, early life, skills and talents in this book, for children aged six and up. Agnes was an unconventional Victorian woman who loved sports and nature. She promoted outdoor education and activities for girls and young women long before it was fashionable. Agnes worked tirelessly to establish Girl Guiding and grow the organisation. She penned numerous articles and traveled extensively to convince people about the benefits of joining. Sadly, Agnes did not receive much recognition during her lifetime. She was later sidelined and excluded from leadership positions. A campaign to see her receive more recognition for her achievements and to celebrate her legacy is gaining support. Hopefully this book will create more awareness of this astounding woman's contributions to the Girl Guiding movement, which continues to inspire and empower girls and young women today. "I think it's great! It will be a delightful, inspirational children's book! Agnes was the most remarkable woman and it's so good that her talents and achievements are being given due recognition. I wish Catherine Gritz every success with it." From Gill Clay, Agnes's great-niece.
