(More customer reviews)This compact little book contains a tremendous compilation of wisdom, that makes the role of parenthood easier to approach for the new Mom or Dad. Yet, it also reminds the parent of older children that this is one assignment, where you are "to work yourself out of a job," as quoted from Paul Lewis. The pictures and quotes of wisdom ranging from rabbinical or biblical quotes to the more contemporary Robert Fulghum or Ann Landers, contain the gentle guidelines for successful parenting to free-thinking, young people and happy families. This is a delightful book to read or contemplate again and again.

"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." If words could describe parenthood, these by Elizabeth Stone may just sum up the experience for many parents. Meanwhile, Playwright George Bernard Shaw has given us the much broader observation that, "Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family."Probably as much has been said about being a parent as there are drops in the ocean but one thing is certain - one can not really know what it is like being a parent until one actually becomes, themselves, a parent. Compiled from the wisdom of 3000 years of living and life, this book seeks to personify the joys and experiences common to all parents and to celebrate the bond between children and their parents.
