Back to Basics
Pete Seeger's Storytelling Book by Pete Seeger and Paul DuBois Jacobs reminds us of the importance in telling stories to our children. With all the different parenting books around, this book is a wonderful reminder that what really matters in a child's life is time spent with an adult and connecting to them through words, ideas and history. The stories are warm, clever, funny and easily retold with our own words. I was inspired to start telling original and some not so orginal stories to my children. Hands down, they want "mommy stories" everynight instead of "book stories". Pete Seeger's Storytelling Book will be given at all my family and friend's holiday celebrations this year. What a great way to celebrate the real millenium; with a tribute to the past. This book is a must buy for parents, grandparents, anyone who loves and spends time with children.
