One Child at a Time

The quotes from Piaget and President Johnson I talked about in my discussion:  “The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.” ― Jean Piaget “Children should be able to do their own experimenting and their own research.

Every time we teach a child something, we keep him from inventing it himself. On the other hand, that which we allow him to discover by himself will remain with him visibly for the rest of his life.” ― Jean Piaget: Play and Development:  Education is not a problem.

The exciting thing about this book is that it makes the characters accessible; made them animals (Bird and Fox) so that anyone could project themselves into those characters. “From her soft kisses and soothing hugs to her tasty tea and warming mug, Bird sweetly expresses her love to Fox, so he knows that no matter how big he gets or where he goes, her love is always with him.” With seductively engaging drawings, debut author-illustrator Christa Pierce creates a comical story that has every reader feeling loved and valued.   3.
