"For those of us who meet children in our various workplaces, we continue to marvel a the resilience. We continue to say that the world has changed, and so have the children. In the midst of this we have an old book (1963) that set the world of education on edge coming back to invite us again to explore children. This book will be a fine refresher as well as a new resource as we return to allowing kids to be kids." -- The Rev. Dr. Richard B. Gilbert, Resources Hotline
