Melissa Ryan, July 28, 2008 (view all comments by Melissa Ryan)
In a world that sometimes seems to have gone completely bonkers, a book such as this gem is near priceless. With a writing style that is highly readable & easily applied to child-rearing, Zoe Weil has given excellent advice on showing the children in our lives how to be peace, be love and thus positively change the world in the most simple of ways.

I have been searching for such a book (without any religions undertones) for a couple of years. A fantastic helpmeet to this hip mama!
