1: A Must Read for Every Classroom
I just recently attended a reading workshop hosted by famous reading researcher, Yetta Goodman. I was enchanted and moved when she read this to us, 75 teachers. The magical text, along with the beautiful illustrations celebrate every child's need for curiosity and day dreaming! A must have for any children's library collection!

2: Children will learn the first steps to gaining new knowledge
I recently read "The Wise Woman and Her Secret" after talking to our school children about the art of "wondering". We are often told new information by others, however, it is more important that we gain new knowledge by way of our own wondering. Eve Merriam helps us to gain an appreciation for this art by telling this beautiful story. Those who rush through life don't get the chance to wonder. Those who slow down and pick up pennies, or seashells find lots to wonder about and even more to learn. The old woman and the young girl have this gift. One knows that it is a gift and not really a secret, while the other simply enjoys herself and the world around her. Every child and parent should read this story. It will help to pave the way towards a successful life-long learning experience for both.
