Henniker,
NH, USA -- Barbara A. Meyers's Fables for Wisdom Seekers Young
and Old helps you guide children through many of today's difficult
issues.
Following
in the legacy of teaching stories, Fables for Wisdom Seekers Young
and Old invites caring adults and children ages 6-11 to explore
together ideas about building self-esteem, the challenges of being a
member of a family, school, and community, as well as being a citizen
of the world.
Each
fable is accompanied by a series of suggested talking points to
support adults in deepening the story and moving it from the realm of
fantasy to the everyday world of the child and reader. These
conversations join the natural instincts of children - their
curiosity, intuitive knowing, zest for learning, open-hearted caring,
innate wisdom and joy in playing - with the wisdom adults have gained
through experience. Together children and adults build a bridge to a
future in which our ways of being reflect what is fair and just for
all who share this planet.
"I
really loved this book and can see so many possibilities of
integrating it in my classroom." ~Rogene Carter
