Stories To Nourish The Hearts Of Our Children

Nourishing is a jewel-like collection of 28 tales from throughout the world. They are meaningful and delightful stories gathered and written by a world famous storyteller for children and their parents. Originally created to generate healing and joy following the tragedy of 9/11. This expanded compilation includes commentary and an excellent how to guide for reading and telling stories for our children. The stories promote happiness, tolerance, compassion, reflection, cultural understanding and imaginative restoration. They are constructed for reading outloud, for provoking contemplation and as a tool for educators, fieldworkers, parents and health workers to generate sensitive conversations. Few books reach into the heart of our children as this small book. There is a Turkish proverb, "A small key opens a big door." Storytelling is as important today, even more urgent, than it has been in times past. The layout of the book, the notes and beauty of language make this an exceptional gift for anyone of any age.
