Industry Reviews

"An enthralling guide to life-enhancing parenting." --E. D. Hirsch, author of Cultural Literacy "This is the tome I would want to carry to the mountaintop, for it shouts all my deepest passions: it is all about sparking the aesthetic imagination of the young child, through careful attention to the quiet and the beautiful all around." --Barbara Mahany, Chicago Tribune"An eloquent celebration of the power of children's imagination when they are encouraged to discover the world of nature and the arts at their own pace. . . . The best possible advice for parents who want to raise a self-confident, creative child." --Judith Wallerstein, author of What About the Kids? Raising Children Before, During and After Divorce"This book will touch your soul, stir up joyous memories of your own childhood, and turn you into a child's best partner in adventure and discovery of the world." --Dr. Alla Efimova, Chief Curator, The Magnes Museum
