From a lovely homeschool mom we know:
"Dear Friends,
I hope you are well and happy, and full of wonder these days!
As most of you are aware, I have a book coming out in the very near future and I wanted to take a minute to tell you a little bit more about it since I don’t get the opportunity to see many of you on a daily basis. The title is Child of Wonder: Nurturing Creative and Naturally Curious Children.
The book is getting good advance reviews, which obviously pleases me. I’m very excited to see it having such a positive impact on those who read it. A personal education “hero” of mine and prolific author of related education material, Jane M. Healy, PhD. said, “This delightful and useful book is a joyous antidote to the canned electronic amusements which stifle our kids’ creative juices. Parents and teachers who explore its wealth of ideas will benefit themselves, their children, and the future potential of our society.”
It has also been reviewed positively by a few parenting/education magazine editors, La Leche League representatives, the Campaign for Commercial-Free Childhood, and other authors such as Lawrence Cohen, PhD. ( author of Playful Parenting).
