“Many years from now when your children ask what New York City was like just after 9/11, this will be the book you give them in response. It's an exquisite novel full of heart, soul, passion and intelligence, and it's the one this great New York author was born to write.” GivingWritingYearsHeartChildrenBookSoulPassionAsksBornCitiesNovelNew YorkOur ChildrenResponseYour ChildrenNew York CityExquisite Author:Lee Child
“Sometimes when I talk to little children I remind them of the fact that when I was growing up myself, I used to play with frog eggs and tadpoles and I used to walk in the field, I used to literally copy whatever my mother was doing on the land. And that may be the reason why I eventually developed the passion for green and for the Earth. So it is extremely important for adults and especially those who are in charge of cities to make sure that we do not lose touch with the land and with the environment. And especially our children.” MayChildrenLittlesImportantSometimesReasonPlayFactsEarthUsedMotherPassionLosesWalksCitiesGrowing UpEnvironmentGrowingLandFieldsAdultsOur ChildrenGreenReason WhyEggsCopiesFrogsTadpoles Author:Wangari Maathai
“Let us protect our children; and let us not allow them to grow up into emptiness and nothingness, to the avoidance of good hard work, to introspection and analysis without deeds, or to mechanical actions without thought and consideration. Let us steer them away from the harmful chase after material things and the damaging passion for distractions... Let us educate them to stand with their feet rooted in God's earth, but with their heads reaching even into heaven, there to behold truth.” ChildrenHardActionEarthPassionHeavenGrowsGrowing UpFeetMaterialsHard WorkProtectOur ChildrenEnvironmentalDeedsAnalysisEmptinessReachingConsiderationDistractionEducateSustainabilityRootedNothingnessIntrospectionAvoidanceSteersMaterial Things Author:Friedrich Frobel

“In some ways a mark of good parenting is that you don't try to make your children into little knockoffs of yourself. None of us went into business. None of us became powerful people like that. All of us pursued our own passions and our own interests. One of my brothers was filmmaker. One of my brothers was a teacher.

“One of the days we unpack finding out how your kids are wired, what kind of intelligence has God given them, how do they give and receive love, what the passions of their life, how does their birth order and their gender affect them because all of those things are part of the tapestry that God is weaving together to use each of our children for His glory.” GivingKindChildrenDoeUseKidsTogetherOrderPassionGivenBirthFindingsGloryOur ChildrenGenderTapestryWeavingGiving And Receiving Author:Stephen Kendrick
“Perhaps it is partly that we need to love books ourselves as parents, grandparents and teachers in order to pass on that passion for stories to our children.
