Synopsis
Kids have a fantastic way of looking at the world, and they are kind, curious, and completely honest about the things they experience. We tend to lose those natural traits as we get older, but it doesn't have to be that way. In this book, parents share stories about the lessons they've learned from their children-from hilarious anecdotes that make you think to out-of-nowhere, almost melancholy thoughts on modern issues.
