“When I was seven years old, I fell in love with a series published by Bobbs-Merrill called 'The Childhood of Famous Americans.' In it, historical figures like Clara Barton, Nancy Hanks, Elias Howe, Patrick Henry, and dozens more came to life for me as children.” YearsChildrenChildhoodFiguresHistoricalSeriesSevenDozenSeven YearsNancyClaraHistorical Figure Author:Ann Hood
“We do live in an unsafe world. That's the truth. I'm dealing with that now, with my seven-year-old. He's grappling with the fact that the world is unsafe, and that there are people who do harmful things. I don't think there's anything wrong with presenting that idea. We can't lie to our children and pretend that the world is perfect, and everybody's happy, and everybody's out there to do good. It's just part of a bigger conversation.” PeopleThinkingWorldYearsChildrenIdeasFactsLyingPerfectConversationBiggerOur ChildrenSevenSeven YearsPresentingUnsafeGrappling Author:Gwyneth Paltrow
