| Publisher Description: Emma's BirthdayLearning to Be GraciousClarence Thomas once said that "good manners will open doors that the best education cannot". These words speak volumes, as in today's diverse and ever-changing society we as individuals are evaluated not only based on what we know, but on how we regard the feelings of others. As parents we tend to more focus on our child's academic /physical skill set, and in turn neglect very important emotionally based skills. These skills will not only improve your child's ability to foster long lasting relationships with their peers, but will enable them to see the world from an angle which inevitably forges your child into a moral upstanding adult. Lessons for life are usually taught using the most simple of occurrences within the human experience, and this book focuses on how your child should react when receiving a gift they do not appreciate. "Emma's Birthday" is entertaining, easy to read and instills a narrative which promotes the correct way for a child (or adult) to respond to the situation above. We can all learn a lot from Emma, and I look forward to sharing her story with you. |
