In The Nuts Keep Rolling, Hazel and Wally Nut are really small, but want to be big. They roll through the sticky mud and as they roll, they get bigger and bigger. Along the way, they bump into some problems. Their positive response to these problems is to “keep rolling!”
Of course the book has a song to go with it! Download the Keep Rolling Dance song here. Learn how to do the dance here.
