Lisa and the Light Dancer teaches children to learn, in a fun way, to have a value system informed by their own sense of good will and common sense. 

Walking home from school with her best friend Debbie, Lisa quarrels because Debbie is going on a wonderful summer vacation.  Lisa is jealous of the time they will spend apart and envious of the fun Debbie will have. Lisa’s behavior is very unpleasant and Debbie begins to cry and run away.  This is the first of several ethical challenges Lisa confronts.

Like most kids her age, Lisa responds in a childish manner...thinking first of herself.  But as Lisa considers unwise choices, a mysterious dancing light comes to visit her.  The Light Dancer continuously evolves in aspect and color to depict the problem at hand., gently helping Lisa make more satisfying and grown up decisions.  Eventually, the amazing dancing light  reveals its true nature.
