A ParentGuide magazine “Don’t Miss” — “The ideal way to better understand your kids and prepare them for the world around them….Build a stronger bond between you and your child starting right now.” – ParentGuide (August 2003)
From the chapter “Books”
“Every time you read a book, someone else’s feelings meet yours, and mix with yours. You are always being affected by other people’s feelings; but books are the big way of bringing to a person the feelings he might never have otherwise….If you read a book about the sea, it can go pretty far in making you feel the mist on the water, the motion of the ship, the dark look of the sky, the wind that soon may be rising, the deck, and what’s underneath the deck.”
From the chapter “Caring for Somebody”
“Let’s say that a year ago (you are now eight) you met a little girl who was then six. Cora could tell you things about what everything was, make you feel new things, make you like her smile.”
